Unix Command Shell, Reverse TCP (/dev/tcp) | Metasploit Exploit Database (DB)

Unix Command Shell, Reverse TCP (/dev/tcp)

Creates an interactive shell via bash's builtin /dev/tcp. This will not work on most Debian-based Linux distributions (including Ubuntu) because they compile bash without the /dev/tcp feature.
