Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Why doesn't Empire start??
Is the new version. The original Empire one was discontinued Old: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire New: https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire

C/C++/C# for Red team
C# for Windows, EDR bypassing. Windows API and native API calls, undocumented API calls and similar. Look at things like this blog here https://www.inversecos.com/2022/03/windows-event-log-evasion-via-native.html and other resources such as the Windows Internals. Sektor7 would be good with their AV bypass courses, but I have only heard of reviews being good, but not done the courses so DYOR. Try the PentesterAcademy courses on Windows. PowerShell pentesting. Frameworks like Empire in Kali, https://www.kali.org/tools/powershell-empire/ && https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire

Using Empire4 without Kali
First of all, Empire4 is a post-exploitation framework, such as Cobalt Strike, Covenant or Meterpreter. It actually rely a lot on Meterpreter, as I will explain later. This means it allows you to deploy listeners in your server and configure attacks connected to them. Empire itself was active for so many years and became deprecated, then Empire4 came up using updated resources. It's open source and it's used for both threat actors (cybercriminals) and offensive security auditors, as well as students of course.

If Empire made a comeback....
Unless I am mistaken it is being maintained here by another team. They are also working on a frontend for it called Starkiller. https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire

"Modern" Pentest Frameworks
Metasploit and Merlin are the larger post-exploitation frameworks that come to mind. As an FYI there's a forked version of Empire now actively in development too - https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire.

Understanding Dependencies in Programming
You can manage dependencies in Python with the package manager pip, which comes pre-installed with Python. Pip allows you to install and uninstall Python packages, and it uses a requirements.txt file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. However, pip does not have robust dependency resolution features or isolate dependencies for different projects; this is where tools like pipenv and poetry come in. These tools create a virtual environment for each project, separating the project's dependencies from the system-wide Python environment and other projects.

Boring Python: dependency management (2022)
Based on this comment 5 days ago[0], it's working? I'm not sure didn't dig in too far but based on that comment it seems fair to say that it's not fully Poetry's fault because torch removed hashes (which poetry needs to be effective) for a while only recently adding it back in.
Not sure where I would stand if I fully investigated it tho.

Fun with Avatars: Crafting the core engine | Part. 1
We will be running this project in Python 3.10 on Mac/Linux, and we will use Poetry to manage our dependencies. Later, we will bundle our app into a container using docker for deployment.

Python Packaging, One Year Later: A Look Back at 2023 in Python Packaging
Here are the two main packaging issues I run into, specifically when using Poetry:
1) Lack of support for building extension modules (as mentioned by the article). There is a workaround using an undocumented feature [0], which I've tried, but ultimately decided it was not the right approach. I still use Poetry, but build the extension as a separate step in CI, rather than kludging it into Poetry.
2) Lack of support for offline installs [1], e.g. being able to download the dependencies, copy them to another machine, and perform the install from the downloaded dependencies (similar to using "pip --no-index --find-links=."). Again, you can work around this (by using "poetry export --with-credentials" and "pip download" for fetching the dependencies, then firing up pypiserver [2] to run a local PyPI server on the offline machine), but ideally this would all be a first class feature of Poetry, similar to how it is in pip.
I don't have the capacity to create Pull Requests for addressing these issues with Poetry, and I'm very grateful for the maintainers and those who do contribute. Instead, on the linked issues I share my notes on the matter, in the hope that it may at least help others and potentially get us closer to a solution.
Regardless, I'm sticking with Poetry for now. Though to be fair, the only other Python packaging tools I've used extensively are Pipenv and pip/setuptools. It's time consuming to thoroughly try out these other packaging tools, and is generally lower priority than developing features/fixing bugs, so it's helpful to read about the author's experience with these other tools, such as PDM and Hatch.

Introducing Flama for Robust Machine Learning APIs
We believe that poetry is currently the best tool for this purpose, besides of being the most popular one at the moment. This is why we will use poetry to manage the dependencies of our project throughout this series of posts. Poetry allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on, and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Poetry also allows you to package your project into a distributable format and publish it to a repository, such as PyPI. We strongly recommend you to learn more about this tool by reading the official documentation.
