As the title says, WSO Web shell is like a thief cum your family member whom even you can't identify until it becomes too late. WSO came into picture in the year 2009 when it was mentioned by a user named Orb in a Russian hacking forum. When an anonymous person or a hacker injects this shell into your web server, the valuable information and control of the website will be gone from your hands!
Web shells can generally be introduced into the server by various ways like Cross site scripting, Structured Query Language (SQL) injection, Wordpress, Content Management Systems (CMS), Remote File Include (RFI) and Local File Include (LFI) vulnerabilities. While WSO web shell, which stands for Web Shell by Orb, can be in the form of Personal Home Page or Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), is a script when installed by the hacker into your system in the presence of you but without your knowledge, enables the hacker to take the control of everything i.e. one can open, edit, change or modify, upload,download and run all files and control the database. WSO Web shell is like an entrance ticket to your confidential place! Most importantly, it doesn't have exit i.e. once WSO enters into your system, it can’t be easily detected and cannot be removed. Because, hackers, when they install the web shell, they don't just put a single file of it but instead, they fill every nook and corner of the web server with these thieves! For their own use, hackers take advantage of this Web Shell by entering your web server and becoming the system administrator. Many hackers prefer WSO Web shell because it is user friendly and easy to use, just like a web browser.
