sliver VS TWINT

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.

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.

twint is a project that can scrape twitter data via the webpages rather than the twitter API, which means that it can get more than the last 3200 tweets of an account. Unfortunately it seems that the repo was archived and is no longer in development, so I'm not sure if it even still works. It's also a bit heavy on dependencies and is written in Python, neither of which make it easier to install and use.

The tool doesn't work anymore since Twitter changed its APIs, but a good example is twint. Most people in OSINT are not highly technical and don't know their way around a CLI. On the other hand, a CLI tool is one of the quickest, lowest (dev) cost ways to release a tool to the public, and many developers who build tools for the OSINT community do so for free (open source).

You can try twint which is extensive and should be able to do that. Another is via this twitter downloader but might require multiple runs depending on what you want to archive.

They do have examples that don't specify a username such as number 3 on this page or this one on the main page: "twint -g="48.880048,2.385939,1km" -o file.csv --csv - Scrape Tweets from a radius of 1km around a place in Paris and export them to a csv file."

This will motivate researchers to web scrape to circumvent these restrictions. Twint can scrape tweets and it supports proxies. It can also be multi threaded. A huge hassle and it's prone to breaking when the site changes.

The comment I saw said they used this: https://github.com/twintproject/twint
