Create a Payload

Overview

Payloads are the agents that execute on target systems and connect back to your listener. This guide shows how to generate payloads for different platforms.

Prerequisites

• Active listener configured
• Target OS and architecture known
• Delivery method planned

Steps

Step 1: Open Payload Generator

Screenshot placeholder: Show the Payloads tab

Navigate to the Payloads tab in the GUI.

Step 2: Select Target Platform

Screenshot placeholder: Show platform selection dropdown

Language Options

Go (Compiled Binary)

Standard compiled executable for your target platform:

Windows:

# Transfer and execute
.\payload.exe

Linux/macOS:

chmod +x payload.bin
./payload.bin

GoProject (Source Export)

Exports the complete agent source code as a .zip file:

• Full Go source code
• Build scripts for all platforms
• Allows manual compilation and customization
• Useful for advanced evasion or modifications

# Extract and build manually
unzip payload_goproject.zip
cd payload
go build -o agent

Testing Your Payload

1. Deploy to a test system
2. Watch the Agents panel for new connections
3. Verify the agent checks in

Security Considerations

• Store payloads securely
• Use kill dates for time-limited operations
• Consider AV evasion techniques for real engagements
