payloads-reverse-shells
Get a reliable reverse (or bind) shell and upgrade it to a real interactive TTY. Load the moment you have code execution and need a shell back — RCE confirmed, a command-injection sink, an upload that runs, a webshell, a cron/service you control. Signals: "reverse shell", "get a shell", "nc listener", "shell is dumb / no tab completion", "which payload", stabilize/upgrade a shell.

# Reverse shells & TTY upgrade
## When it applies
You have command execution and want an interactive shell on an authorized target. Pick the payload
that matches what's installed on the victim, catch it on a listener, then upgrade it so editors,
job control, and tab-completion work. `$LHOST`/`$LPORT` below are your attacker IP and port.
## Why it works
A reverse shell makes the victim connect *out* to you (beating inbound firewalls); a bind shell
listens on the victim (use only when you can't receive connections). The victim's shell inherits no
PTY, so it's "dumb" until you attach one — the upgrade step gives you a full terminal.
