It’s time to get your programming socks, yeet Metasploit through the window and curse at gcc because we’ll be writing a reverse shell of our own for Linux.

A reverse shell is a program that connects a computer to another computer, simple as that. The victim executes the binary and the binary is responsible for establishing a session to another computer through a connection (socket). When the connection is established, the attacker computer can control the victim through shell commands.
