About Backdoor Shells
Backdoor shells are designed to maintain persistent access to a target system during authorized security testing. These tools focus on stealth, using techniques such as encrypted communications, anti-virus evasion, process hiding, and log cleaning to remain undetected. Security teams deploy backdoor shells in controlled environments to evaluate the effectiveness of endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, test incident response procedures, and verify that intrusion detection systems (IDS) can identify persistent threats.
