Starkiller

Starkiller is a Frontend for Powershell Empire. It is a web application written in VueJS. If you'd like to contribute please follow the Contribution guide. If you'd like to request a feature or report a bug, please follow the Issue template.

Getting Started

As of Empire 5.0 and Starkiller 2.0, you no longer need to install Starkiller or build it from source. It is prepackaged in Empire as a submodule and served via Empire's API.

Sponsors

Sponsorship and extra features

Sponsoring at the Individual level will give access to extra features. At the moment, the extra Starkiller sponsorship features include:

Process Browser

Browse the running processes on an agent's host from the Processes tab.

Modify Module Scripts

Edit a module's script in an in-browser editor before executing it.

Enable/Disable Modules

Bulk-select modules and toggle their availability from the Modules page.

IP Filtering

Allow and deny lists controlling which source addresses Empire accepts agent traffic from.

There is also a collection of Empire plugins available via sponsorship.

Thanks to our sponsors the following features which started as sponsor features have been moved to the public and kali builds.

  • File browser
  • Popout windows
  • Chat widget
  • Bypass management
  • Malleable profile management
  • Dashboard
  • Graph View
