## Description

Stitch is a command and control framework and post-exploitation toolkit designed for managing multiple remote systems from a central server. It functions as a remote administration tool and payload builder, enabling the execution of commands and the deployment of agents across different operating systems.

The project features a cross-platform builder for generating custom executable agents with configurable network bindings and boot behaviors. It utilizes encrypted communication channels to secure traffic between the controller and remote clients, and it supports the execution of dynamic scripts to extend agent functionality at runtime without recompiling binaries.

The framework covers a range of remote administration and system manipulation capabilities, including credential and data exfiltration, keystroke recording, and screen capturing. It provides tools for maintaining a persistent presence on target machines through platform-specific installers and the modification of system registry values and files.
