Please see the PoC repo.

PoC

Please also see the PoC repo. To setup a simple PoC environment,

  1. Generate an implant with its C2 set to the PoC server's address and copy the embedded private implant key and public server key into the config json.
  2. Run the implant on a separate VM and a notepad.exe window should pop up on the implanted VM.

Impact

A successful attack grants the attacker permission to execute arbitrary code on the implanted device.
