Had some issues getting a fully functional reverse shell on Kali 2023.2. I think the main issue was caused by the standard shell zsh (not good old bash).

Maybe this post will help me again, or even others :)

Workaround 1

Simply switch from zsh to bash:

exec bash --login               #switch to bash shell
ps -p $$                        #check used shell

and then use the standards from HackTricks - Full TTYs.

Workaround 2

With some tweaking it was possible to get it running with zsh:

On attacker:

rlwrap nc -lvnp {your_port}

• rlwrap: provides readline’s line edition, persistent history and completion

on rev shell:

python3 -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
ctrl-z

• stabilize shell
• put it to background

on attacker:

stty size;stty raw -echo;fg

• important to send this commands as an oneliner
