Shell
In computing, a shell is a user interface for access to an operating system's services. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation.
A web shell is a script that can be uploaded to a web server to enable remote administration of the machine.
