Empire VS sliver

IAB stands for Initial Access Broker. these are hackers who gain initial access, mainly to companies and sell that access to third party groups such as ransomware groups. Powershell Empire is an open source post exploitation tool for windows and u can find it on github: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire.git

I evaluated this a while back. Cool idea but limited application in a corporate environment. But for personal use, why not?

Someone needs to open a document for the canary token to trigger. Even the smallest company with M365 gets MSIP (formerly Azure Information Protection), if you classify your docs right, only people who own or have been shared the document can decrypt it and even without a good classification, you get logs of any M365 document being opened, so why can't I just have a regular but public doc everywhere and monitor when it gets opened from external IPs, user agents,etc....

I struggled to show value for this. Honehashes are more interesting for me: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/blob/master/data/mod...

I've installed Empire C2 on an Arch VM. I've installed it from the github https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire but the API is not working as expected.

Is the new version. The original Empire one was discontinued Old: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire New: https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire

PowerShell Empire is a post-exploitation framework written primarily in PowerShell. It is something to consider from a security perspective if remote PowerShell commands are enabled in the environment.

IDK if you are too young to remember the fallout from Snowden, but the Kremlin threw out entire rooms computers and for a time used actual typewriters. Because those computers had, more or less, twingate connectors on them. That's a bit of a rich example, but you're essentially installing what sliver calls an implant, what meterpreter calls a payload, and what Cobalt Strike calls a beacon. It's cool if you want to, but there's no need when you can just open a port with the same technology a Fortune 50 does.

What they said. Also, if you want a free alternative to cobalt: https://github.com/BishopFox/sliver

Sliver is neat, https://github.com/BishopFox/sliver

Armitage is precursor to CS but they diverged a long time ago. I ran up the armitage that comes with Kali these days, it has issues and bugs that would prevent it being useful. Sliver is probably the most usable FOSS C2. https://github.com/BishopFox/sliver

I’m a huge fan of Sliver, super powerful and well written/maintained with a lot of care and attention paid to tradecraft. I’m a big fan of the features like the built-in support for DNS canaries to detect blue team analysis. Only downside is that the documentation may be a little lacking.

For the additional more advanced steps I used sliver as a c2. Sliver is an excellent tool for the job and unlike some other tools, it's FOSS! You can easily replace sliver with your tool of choice, however.
