Have you ever tried to use a netcat shell and thought, "I wish there was a better way"? Well now there is! BetterCat will connect to the shell and do the following:
- Disable saving of the session's history
- Enumerate the operating system, shell and supported terminal interfaces
- Spawn a TTY shell for programs that need them, like
sudo - Integrate the shell with your terminal!
- You want colour? You got colour! (Yes, it's spelled with a u)
- You want TAB completion? You got TAB completion!
- Tired of trying to kill a command with Control-C only for it to kill your shell? No more!
- Any other default control sequence for your terminal should "Just work"
- Even
vimandemacswork just fine!
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Instead of nc -lp <port>, use ./BetterCat.py l <port> to listen for incoming reverse shells.
Instead of nc <host> <port>, use ./Bettercat.py c <host> <port> to connect to bind shells.
This was hacked together in about 2 days. I'll try to keep working on it, but if you'd like any features or fixes, feel free to ask!
- Support for more shells, terminals and operating systems
- Better teminal support enumeration
- Support for shells which are already TTYs
- Custom per-shell prompts
- More netcat-like features
- Support for resized terminals
- Methods for spawning a TTY that don't rely on python
- More reconnaisance
- Code cleanup
