  Description     : advanced shell handler for penetration testing and CTFs

Penelope is a modern shell handler designed for penetration testers and CTF
players. It provides a highly capable alternative to basic netcat listeners,
streamlining reverse and bind shell management during post-exploitation.
.
It operates entirely using the Python standard library, requiring no external
dependencies.
.
Key features include:
 * Automatic PTY upgrades for fully interactive terminal sessions.
 * Multi-session management to control multiple targets simultaneously.
 * Native session logging and interaction tracking.
 * Seamless file transfer capabilities between host and target.
 * Helper modules for local privilege escalation and enumeration.

This package is useful on penetration tests and CTFs ("Capture-The-Flag"
competitions). It replaces netcat for bind and reverse shell
establishment and management, while providing many quality-of-life
improvements.

I plan to maintain this package inside the pkg-security team.
