Proton Framework - A Windows Post Exploitation Framework Similar To Other Penetration Testing Tools Such As Meterpreter And Powershell Invader Framework
Proton Framework is a Windows post exploitation framework similar to other penetration
testing tools such as Meterpreter and Powershell Invader Framework. The major difference is that
the Proton Framework does most of its operations using Windows Script Host (a.k.a. JScript/VBScript),
with compatibility in the core to support a default installation of Windows 2000 with no service
packs (and potentially even versions of NT4) all the way through Windows 10.
Getting started
Proton installation
cd proton
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
Proton uninstallation
cd proton
chmod +x uninstall.sh
./uninstall.sh
Proton Framework execution
To execute Proton Framework you
should execute the following command.
proton
Proton Framework modules
There are to kinds of Proton Framework modules -
stagers and implants. Proton stagers hook target
zombies and allow you to use implants. Proton
implants starts jobs on remote target zombie.
Proton Framework stagers
Proton Framework stagers hook target
zombie and allow you to use implants.

TLS communications
INFO: To enable TLS communications, you will need
to host your Proton stager on a valid domain
(i.e. malicious.com) with a known Root CA signed
certificate. Windows will check its certificate
store and will NOT allow a self-signed certificate.
