Terminology

This page explains some of the terminology used throughout the Intersect 2.5 Framework and associated documentation.

Create or Create application: The Create.py script used to build custom Intersect scripts. When 'Create' is used in reference to Create.py, it will always be seen with a capital C to avoid confusion between 'creating' something and the 'Create' application itself.

Modules: Individual file made up of Python code used to perform some function once it is implemented into a full script. An individual module by itself, without being built into a script template, will not execute.

Template: An Intersect script skeleton file that acts as the basis on which custom scripts are built. A template lays out such things as environment, global variables and functions and other script-wide code.

Intersect script: The final file that is generated using the Create application. An Intersect script is based on a certain Template and then combined with different Modules to form the final file. *May sometimes be referred to as an Intersect 'payload' within documentation.

Shells / Remote Shells: Any module that provides a connection between a client and a server. This connection may be over any protocol such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, etc. In general, a shell is used to provide remote or 'backdoor' access to a target system. Some of the shell modules include additional features built-in.
