README

Sliver

Sliver is an open source cross-platform adversary emulation/red team framework, it can be used by organizations of all sizes to perform security testing. Sliver's implants support C2 over Mutual TLS (mTLS), WireGuard, HTTP(S), and DNS and are dynamically compiled with per-binary asymmetric encryption keys.

The server and client support MacOS, Windows, and Linux. Implants are supported on MacOS, Windows, and Linux (and possibly every Golang compiler target but we've not tested them all).

Release golangci-lint License: GPL v3

Features

  • Dynamic code generation
  • Compile-time obfuscation
  • Multiplayer-mode
  • Staged and Stageless payloads
  • Procedurally generated C2 over HTTP(S)
  • DNS canary blue team detection
  • Secure C2 over mTLS, WireGuard, HTTP(S), and DNS
  • Fully scriptable using Python
  • Windows process migration, process injection, user token manipulation, etc.
  • Let's Encrypt integration
  • In-memory .NET assembly execution
  • COFF/BOF in-memory loader
