Using pre-installed RPC endpoints, Monarch abstracts out the effort of\nbuilding agents by providing an easy-to-use interface for managing build options and profiles.\n\nAdditionally, Monarch utilizes HTTP(s) endpoints to manage remote implants. \nThese endpoints serve as a conduit, enabling efficient communication and control over distributed implants \nfrom a central hub. This approach empowers administrators to effectively oversee, direct, and interact with \nremote implants, facilitating smooth command execution and data retrieval.\n\nSee the [docs](https://monarch.gitbook.io/monarch) to learn more about Monarch and integrating your own projects with the framework.\n\n## Features\n- Neat console interface\n- Easy to set up and uninstall\n- Cross-platform client\n- Install builders from Git repositories or local folders\n- Docker used to set up builder containers\n- HTTP / HTTPS / raw TCP+TLS callback handlers\n- Malleable HTTP-based endpoints\n- Multiplayer and role-based access control\n- Easy 3rd party implant integration (documentation)\n- Client-server connections secured by mTLS\n- In-game chat\n- Compiled implant staging / local file staging\n- Configure implant sessions and timeout\n- Interactive builder and build profiles (save default build values per builder)\n- Automatic loading of implant commands (including autocompletion)\n\n## Installing Monarch\n\n[Follow the installation instructions here.](https://monarch.gitbook.io/monarch/installation)\n\n## Empress\nEmpress is the very first integration developed alongside Monarch as a proof of concept.\nThe techniques used to develop the implant and builder service should be viewed as best practice, along with recommendations and examples provided in the [documentation](https://monarch.gitbook.io/monarch/integration).\n\n[Find Empress here.](https://github.com/pygrum/Empress)\n\n\n## Issues\nIf you encounter issues of any sort, please raise a new issue in the \n[issues page](https://github.com/pygrum/monarch/issues), especially as this project is in its early stages of development.\nI'll do my best to response and resolve the issue on time.\n\n## Contributing\nFeel free to contact me about wanting to contribute on the `#golang` channel on the BloodHoundGang slack (@Pygrum).\n\n## Disclaimer\nThis Command and Control (C2) framework is intended for authorized and lawful use only. \nAny unauthorized or illegal activities facilitated by this software are strictly prohibited. \nThe developers are not liable for any misuse or illegal actions performed with this framework.\nUsers must comply with all applicable laws and ethical standards when using this software. \nThe developers disclaim responsibility for any damages or legal consequences resulting from its misuse.\nBy using this software, you agree to use it responsibly and strictly for lawful purposes.\n\n## Credits\n\nThis project was heavily inspired by the following projects:\n- [Mythic](https://github.com/its-a-feature/Mythic): @its-a-feature - Inspiration for Docker container usage\n- [Sliver](https://github.com/BishopFox/sliver): @moloch-- - Awesome CLI and RPC implementations\n\nHere are some cool packages I tried out:\n- [Console](https://github.com/reeflective/console): @maxlandon - Great CLI\n- [Grumble](https://github.com/desertbit/grumble): @desertbit - Another great CLI\n\nGo and check them out!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpygrum%2Fmonarch","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpygrum%2Fmonarch","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpygrum%2Fmonarch/lists"}
