Introduction

In this chapter, we will be looking at the creation of reverse shells and payloads in Python. Once an upload vulnerability has been identified on a Linux or Mac system, Python payloads are in the sweet spot of next steps. They are easy to craft or customize to match a specific system, have clear functionality, and best of all, almost all Mac and Linux systems come with Python 2.7 by default.
