A collection of webshell scripts in various languages for security testing and research purposes.
webshell is an open-source collection of webshell scripts written in various server-side languages like PHP, ASP, JSP, and Python. It provides security researchers and penetration testers with a repository of samples to study webshell functionality, detection evasion techniques, and server compromise methods. The project emphasizes ethical use for authorized security testing and research purposes only.
Security researchers, penetration testers, red teamers, and cybersecurity professionals who need webshell samples for defensive research, detection engineering, or authorized security assessments.
It offers a centralized, community-maintained collection of webshells across multiple languages, saving researchers time from scouring disparate sources. The project's clear ethical guidelines and warnings about potential backdoors help users approach the material responsibly for legitimate security work.
This is a webshell open source project
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes webshells across six server-side languages like ASP, PHP, JSP, and Python, offering a broad resource for cross-platform security research.
Encourages user submissions while preserving original names and passwords, fostering a continuously expanding collection of samples.
Explicitly warns users to verify scripts for backdoors and restricts use to authorized testing, promoting responsible security practices.
Provides links to complementary projects like webshell-venom and management tools, integrating into broader penetration testing workflows.
The README admits that shells may contain backdoors, requiring manual verification which is error-prone and poses security threats.
As a community collection, there's no systematic vetting process, leading to inconsistent code quality and potential outdated samples.
The project is primarily an archive without active generation, so it may miss the latest evasion techniques or regular updates for new threats.
