Ligolo-ng
An advanced, yet simple, tunneling/pivoting tool
Ligolo-ng is a simple, lightweight and fast tool that allows pentesters to establish tunnels from a reverse TCP/TLS connection using a tun interface (without the need of SOCKS). When running the relay/proxy server, a tun interface is used, packets sent to this interface are translated and then transmitted to the agent's remote network. You need to download the Wintun driver (used by WireGuard) and place the wintun.dll in the same folder as Ligolo. You can listen to ports on the agent and redirect connections to your control/proxy server. You can easily hit more than 100 Mbits/sec. Here is a test using iperf from a 200Mbits/s server to a 200Mbits/s connection. -

BeEF
The browser exploitation framework project
BeEF is short for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a penetration testing tool that focuses on the web browser. Amid growing concerns about web-borne attacks against clients, including mobile clients, BeEF allows the professional penetration tester to assess the actual security posture of a target environment by using client-side attack vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, BeEF looks past the hardened network perimeter and client system, and examines exploitability within the context of the one open door: the web browser. BeEF will hook one or more web browsers and use them as beachheads for launching directed command modules and further attacks against the system from within the browser context. -

Pacu
The AWS exploitation framework, designed for testing security
Pacu (named after a type of Piranha in the Amazon) is a comprehensive AWS security-testing toolkit designed for offensive security practitioners. While several AWS security scanners currently serve as the proverbial “Nessus” of the cloud, Pacu is designed to be the Metasploit equivalent. Written in Python 3 with a modular architecture, Pacu has tools for every step of the pen testing process, covering the full cyber kill chain. Pacu is the aggregation of all of the exploitation experience and research from our countless prior AWS red team engagements. Automating components of the assessment not only improves efficiency but also allows our assessment team to be much more thorough in large environments. What used to take days to manually enumerate can be now be achieved in minutes. There are currently over 35 modules that range from reconnaissance, persistence, privilege escalation, enumeration, data exfiltration, log manipulation, and miscellaneous general exploitation. -

Kubesploit
Kubesploit is a cross-platform post-exploitation HTTP/2 Command
Kubesploit is a cross-platform post-exploitation HTTP/2 Command & Control server and agent dedicated for containerized environments written in Golang and built on top of Merlin project by Russel Van Tuyl. While researching Docker and Kubernetes, we noticed that most of the tools available today are aimed at passive scanning for vulnerabilities in the cluster, and there is a lack of more complex attack vector coverage. They might allow you to see the problem but not exploit it. It is important to run the exploit to simulate a real-world attack that will be used to determine corporate resilience across the network. When running an exploit, it will practice the organization's cyber event management, which doesn't happen when scanning for cluster issues. It can help the organization learn how to operate when real attacks happen, see if its other detection system works as expected and what changes should be made. -

Merlin HTTP/2
Merlin is a cross-platform post-exploitation HTTP/2 Command
Merlin is a cross-platform post-exploitation Command & Control server and agent written in Go. The Merlin server is a self-contained command line program that requires no installation. You just simply download it and run it. The command-line interface only works great if it will be used by a single operator at a time. The Merlin agent can be controlled through Mythic, which features a web-based user interface that enables multiplayer support, and a slew of other features inherent to the project. -

PivotSuite
Network Pivoting Toolkit
PivotSuite is a portable, platform-independent and powerful network pivoting toolkit, Which helps Red Teamers / Penetration Testers to use a compromised system to move around inside a network. It is a Standalone Utility, Which can use as a Server or as a Client. If the compromised host is directly accessible (Forward Connection) from Our pentest machine, Then we can run pivotsuite as a server on the compromised machine and access the different subnet hosts from our pentest machine, Which was only accessible from the compromised machine. If the compromised host is behind a Firewall / NAT and isn't directly accessible from our pentest machine, Then we can run pivotsuite as a server on pentest machine and pivotsuite as a client on the compromised machine for creating a reverse tunnel (Reverse Connection). Using this we can reach different subnet hosts from our pentest machine, which was only accessible from the compromised machine. -

Shennina
Automating Host Exploitation with AI
Shennina is an automated host exploitation framework. The mission of the project is to fully automate the scanning, vulnerability scanning/analysis, and exploitation using Artificial Intelligence. Shennina is integrated with Metasploit and Nmap for performing the attacks, as well as being integrated with an in-house Command-and-Control Server for exfiltrating data from compromised machines automatically. Shennina scans a set of input targets for available network services, uses its AI engine to identify recommended exploits for the attacks, and then attempts to test and attack the targets. If the attack succeeds, Shennina proceeds with the post-exploitation phase. The AI engine is initially trained against live targets to learn reliable exploits against remote services. Shennina also supports a "Heuristics" mode for identfying recommended exploits. -

PyExfil
A Python Package for Data Exfiltration
PyExfil was born as a PoC and kind of a playground and grew to be something a bit more. In my eyes it’s still a messy PoC that needs a lot more work and testing to become stable. The purpose of PyExfil is to set as many exfiltrations, and now also communication, techniques that CAN be used by various threat actors/malware around to bypass various detection and mitigation tools and techniques. You can track changes at the official GitHub page. Putting it simply, it’s meant to be used as a testing tool rather than an actual Red Teaming tool. Although most techniques and methods should be easily ported and compiled to various operating systems, some stable some experimental, the transmission mechanism should be stable on all techniques. Clone it, deploy on a node in your organization and see which systems can catch which techniques. -

SHAD0W
A post exploitation framework designed to operate covertly
It uses a range of methods to evade EDR and AV while allowing the operator to continue using tooling and tradecraft they are familiar with. Its powered by Python 3.8 and C, and uses Donut for payload generation. By using Donut along with the process injection capabilities of SHAD0W, it provides the operator the ability to execute .NET assemblies, DLLs, EXEs, JS, VBS or XSLs fully inside the memory. Dynamically resolved syscalls are heavily used to avoid userland API hooking, anti-DLL injection to make it harder for EDR to load code into the beacons, and official Microsoft mitigation methods to protect spawn processes. Runs fully inside of Docker allowing cross-platform usage. SHAD0W is a modular C2 framework designed to successfully operate on mature environments. All traffic between beacons and the C2 are encrypted and transmitted over HTTPS. -

mssqlproxy
Toolkit aimed to perform lateral movement in restricted environments
mssqlproxy is a toolkit aimed to perform lateral movement in restricted environments through a compromised Microsoft SQL Server via socket reuse. The client requires impacket and sysadmin privileges on the SQL server. The first step is to execute code in the SQL Server process context. As extended stored procedures are going to be deprecated in future versions of MSSQL, we pay attention to Microsoft recommendations and thus, use CLR assemblies instead. -
