Payload Generation Framework
A utility to safely generate malicious network traffic patterns and evaluate controls.
A framework that create an advanced stealthy dropper that bypass most AVs and have a lot of tricks
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
RTA provides a framework of scripts designed to allow blue teams to test their detection capabilities against malicious tradecraft, modeled after MITRE ATT&CK.
The project is called Great SCT (Great Scott). Great SCT is an open source project to generate application white list bypasses. This tool is intended for BOTH red and blue team.
Monkey is an adversary emulation platform and breach and attack simulation tool designed to test network defenses through automated lateral movement and exploit delivery. It functions as a network security testing system that evaluates security posture by attempting to propagate through vulnerabilities and extract sensitive system credentials. The platform distinguishes itself by simulating specific real-world attacker behaviors, such as ransomware encryption, cryptojacking, and the theft of browser-stored credentials and secure shell keys. It utilizes binary hash randomization to evade antiv
Loader, dropper generator with multiple features for bypassing client-side and network-side countermeasures.
Caldera is an adversary emulation platform and command and control framework designed to simulate cyber attack patterns. It functions as an automated red team tool and threat framework orchestrator, executing attack sequences based on standardized cybersecurity threat frameworks to validate security defenses and detection capabilities. The platform distinguishes itself through the dynamic compilation of customized executable payloads and the use of framework-mapped adversary modeling to structure attack techniques. It manages asynchronous agents on targeted endpoints via a central server acce
Undetectable Windows Payload Generation
A toolset to make a system look as if it was the victim of an APT attack
Encodes a PowerShell script in the pixels of a PNG file and generates a oneliner to execute
PowerSploit is a collection of PowerShell modules designed for security assessment, penetration testing, and red team operations. It provides a framework for auditing Windows system configurations and evaluating the effectiveness of security defenses within an enterprise environment. The framework focuses on techniques that leverage native system administration tools and scripting environments to perform operations. It includes capabilities for executing arbitrary commands, escalating user privileges, and maintaining system persistence through event subscriptions. By utilizing in-memory execu
Atomic Red Team is an adversary simulation tool and detection validation suite designed to emulate attacker behaviors. It functions as a security control testing framework that uses a library of portable tests to verify if security monitoring and alerting systems correctly identify specific malicious techniques. The project serves as a MITRE ATT&CK emulation framework, mapping individual test executions to a standardized industry taxonomy of adversary behaviors. This mapping allows for the validation of security controls against the MITRE ATT&CK matrix to identify gaps in detection and respon
