Welcome to the open-source implementation of the Cobalt Strike Beacon! This project aims to provide a fully functional, from-scratch alternative to the Cobalt Strike Beacon, offering transparency and flexibility for security professionals and enthusiasts.

Please note that this project is not a re of the Cobalt Strike Beacon but a ground-up open-source implementation. The settings.h file, containing macros for the C2 Profile, is .gitignored (and thus not a), as users are expected to complete it according to their preferences. Once you have your settings.h template ready, feel free to share and contribute.

Prerequisites

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

2. Open the project in Studio.

3. Ensure that the required dependencies (libtommath, libtomcrypt) are properly configured and linked with the project.

4. Build the project.

5. Create your settings.h file based on the provided template. Make sure to include your C2 Profile macros and configurations.

6. Build the project again to apply your custom settings.

7. Execute the compiled binary.
