Mythic
A collaborative, multi-platform, C2 framework.
Overview
Mythic is a Command and Control (C2) framework for Red Teaming operations. It is designed to be cross-platform and highly modular, allowing operators to create or integrate their own C2 profiles, agents, and reporting tools. Its focus is on providing a collaborative platform for operators to work together during an engagement.
✨ Key Features
- Support for multiple C2 communication channels (HTTP, WebSockets, etc.)
- Cross-platform agents (Python, .NET, Go, etc.)
- Web-based UI for collaborative operations
- Docker-based installation for easy deployment
- Highly extensible architecture for custom agents and C2 profiles
- Detailed logging and reporting
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Extreme modularity: nearly every component can be customized or replaced.
- Focus on being a 'framework for C2 frameworks' rather than a single tool.
- Dockerized deployment simplifies setup of its microservice architecture.
Unique Value: Provides an unparalleled level of customization and extensibility, allowing red teams to build a C2 platform perfectly tailored to their needs and the target environment.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Managing multiple compromised hosts with different agent types through a single interface.
- Developing and deploying custom C2 agents for specific target environments.
- Collaborating in real-time with other red team members during an operation.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Automated vulnerability scanning.
- Users looking for a simple, out-of-the-box C2 solution.
🏆 Alternatives
While other frameworks like Sliver and Havoc are extensible, Mythic takes it a step further by design, treating agents and C2 profiles as completely separate, pluggable components. This makes it more of a development platform than a ready-to-use tool.
