With the latest releases of Shellter, updating the Demo videos has become a requirement.
Unfortunately, my free time is already quite limited among full-time work and other projects, which means that I cannot say when I am going to have the time to update those videos accordingly.
However, if any of you guys would like to make video tutorials about it, then I will be more than happy to link them from this blog. If you do, then please make sure that you use the latest version.

Three weeks later from the previous release, Shellter v1.9 is now available to download. The new version brings more usability enhancements and cmdline improvements. These updates make Basic Mode more flexible and powerful.
If Shellter starts without cmdline arguments, then it allows the user to choose which operation mode to use. As in the previous version, if the user chooses the Basic Mode, then Shellter will only ask for the necessary input and enable the rest of the features that will be used automatically.
However, in the previous version the cmdline only allowed to specify those necessary inputs such as ‘target’, ‘payload’..etc which means that again other features were enabled by default.
In Shellter v1.9 this has been improved. The cmdline allows to customize the usage of the Basic Mode. This means that if the payload submitted is not encoded, or something completely custom that can handle its self-decryption then the user can choose not to treat it as encoded by Shellter.
Generally, using encoded payloads, especially if they are generated by a known framework as metasploit it is recommended. Enabling the handing of encoded payloads can be achieved by specifying the ‘––enc’ flag in the cmdline.
The new version of Shellter is on its way, and I will try to release it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, let me give you some heads-up of what to expect from the next release.
As mentioned during the release of the previous update, the upcoming version of Shellter will allow the users to control and take advantage from the Basic Mode, features that were only available so far only in the Advanced Mode.
One of these features, it is the possibility to use handlers for encoded payloads, instead of permanently changing the memory access permissions for the section where the injection occurs, through the PE header. This is also one of the main features of Shellter since its very first release.
