Stabilizing Shells

After gaining a reverse shell it's good practice to stabilize it for better usability and functionality.

python3 -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash");'
stty -a
stty rows <NUMBER> cols <NUMBER>
echo $SHELL
export SHELL=bash
echo $TERM
export TERM=xterm-256color
press CTRL+Z
stty raw -echo ; fg
reset
