sleep - Adjust Beacon Interval

Change the agent's sleep interval (check-in frequency) and optional jitter percentage.

Description

The sleep command changes the agent's sleep interval (check-in frequency) and optional jitter percentage. The sleep interval determines how long the agent waits between check-ins with the Mythic server. Jitter adds random variation to the sleep interval to avoid predictable timing patterns.

Syntax

sleep {"seconds":30,"jitter":10}

Parameters

seconds (required): Sleep interval in seconds
jitter (optional): Jitter percentage (0-100)

Examples

sleep {"seconds":30,"jitter":10}
sleep {"seconds":60}
sleep {"seconds":10,"jitter":30}

Features

The sleep interval determines how long the agent waits between check-ins with the Mythic server
Jitter adds random variation to the sleep interval to avoid predictable timing patterns
Lower sleep values provide more responsive interaction but increase network activity and detection risk
Higher sleep values reduce detection risk but make the agent less responsive
Jitter helps evade behavioral detection based on timing analysis

Output

[sleep] Sleep interval set to: 30 seconds
[sleep] Jitter set to: 10%
