This project is intended to serve as reference when designing Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 profiles.

SourcePoint is a polymorphic C2 profile generator for Cobalt Strike C2s, written in Go. SourcePoint allows unique C2 profiles to be generated on the fly that helps reduce our Indicators of Compromise ("IoCs") and allows the operator to spin up complex profiles with minimal effort. This was done…

Skyhook is a REST-driven utility used to smuggle files into and out of networks defended by IDS implementations. It comes with a pre-packaged web client that uses a blend of React, vanilla JS, and web assembly to manage file transfers.

AzureC2Relay is an Azure Function that validates and relays Cobalt Strike beacon traffic by verifying the incoming requests based on a Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 profile. Any incoming requests that do not share the profiles user-agent, URI paths, headers, and query parameters, will be redirected…

Empire is a command and control framework and post-exploitation toolkit used for network penetration testing. It serves as a centralized platform for coordinating remote agent communication and automating the delivery of security testing payloads to target systems. The project provides a suite of modules for host reconnaissance, lateral movement, and credential harvesting across corporate environments. It functions as a remote administration tool to maintain persistence and execute commands on compromised hosts. The framework incorporates capabilities for agent orchestration and the executio

Havoc is a post-exploitation framework used for red team operations. It provides a centralized command and control system for managing remote agents through persistent network connections and customizable communication profiles. The framework focuses on security evasion and stealth, utilizing indirect syscall execution, return address spoofing, and hardware-breakpoint patching to bypass endpoint detection and response tools. It includes a payload generation workflow to create executable shellcode or DLLs for initial remote access. The system covers a broad range of operational capabilities,

This project is a curated collection of tools, scripts, and technical guides designed to enhance offensive security operations using Cobalt Strike. It serves as a resource hub for managing command and control infrastructure and deploying security engagements. The collection includes toolkits for evading endpoint detection and response systems, alongside libraries for automating red team tasks such as reconnaissance and host enumeration. It provides resources for developing post-exploitation frameworks, specifically focusing on the creation of reflective libraries and memory-resident code. Th

The framework is a comprehensive penetration testing platform designed for the development, testing, and execution of security exploits. It serves as a research toolkit and automated assessment environment, enabling security professionals to identify and validate vulnerabilities within networked systems and infrastructure through repeatable, standardized procedures. The platform distinguishes itself through a modular architecture that supports reflective payload injection, allowing for the execution of code directly in memory without writing to disk. It utilizes an asynchronous event loop to

Hoaxshell is a command and control system for Windows remote command execution. It provides a framework for generating and managing reverse shell payloads that utilize an HTTP beaconing protocol, where victim clients periodically poll a handler to receive and execute instructions. The project distinguishes itself through its ability to bypass PowerShell Constrained Language Mode using specialized payload generation. It supports encrypted command and control via TLS certificate injection and provides mechanisms for remote session recovery, allowing a handler to reestablish control over active

Villain is a command and control framework and distributed orchestrator designed for managing reverse TCP and HoaxShell connections. It serves as a reverse shell manager and payload generation tool, allowing for the coordination of remote access across multiple target systems. The project distinguishes itself through a distributed architecture that synchronizes active remote sessions and broadcasts messages across connected server instances for collaborative operations. It includes a fileless execution engine that runs scripts directly in remote memory over HTTP to avoid writing files to the

Empire is a post-exploitation command-and-control (C2) framework designed for red team operations. It deploys and manages agents written in PowerShell, Python, C#, Go, and C across Windows, Linux, and macOS, using encrypted communication channels over HTTP, HTTPS, and SMB. The framework executes over 400 built-in modules for reconnaissance, privilege escalation, credential theft, and lateral movement, and provides a modular engine for authoring custom attack modules. What sets Empire apart is its multi-language agent deployment system, which allows operators to choose implants that suit each
