This report provides source code, build instructions, and usage examples for an AES-encrypted reverse HTTP shell authored by "Dave Kennedy (ReL1K)". It includes a client (shell) that connects back to an attacker-controlled HTTP listener, encrypted command/response handling using AES and Base64, optional proxy support, and a Python-based listener that accepts encrypted POSTs and presents an interactive shell. The write-up demonstrates execution examples, compilation guidance (pyinstaller), and a downloadable compiled binary, enabling easy deployment of an encrypted remote access tool across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
