Description
Pupy is a cross-platform, multi function C2 and post-exploitation tool mainly written in python. It features an all-in-memory execution guideline and leaves a very low footprint. Pupy can communicate using multiple transports, migrate into processes using reflective injection, and load remote python code, python packages and python C-extensions from memory.
Features
-
Windows payload can load the entire Python interpreter from memory using a reflective DLL.
- Pupy does not touch the disk.
-
Can be packed into a single .py file and run without any dependencies other than the python standard library on all OSes.
- PyCrypto gets replaced by pure Python AES & RSA implementations when unavailable.
-
Reflectively migrate into other processes.
-
Remotely import pure python packages (.py, .pyc) and compiled python C extensions (.pyd, .so) from memory.
- Imported python modules do not touch the disk.
-
Easily extensible, modules are simple to write and are sorted by os and category.
-
Modules can directly access python objects on the remote client using rpyc.
-
Access remote objects interactively from the pupy shell and get auto-completion of remote attributes.
-
Communication transports are modular and stackable. Exfiltrate data using HTTP over HTTP over AES over XOR, or any combination of the available transports.
-
Communicate using obfsproxy pluggable transports.
-
Execute noninteractive commands on multiple hosts at once.
-
Commands and scripts running on remote hosts are interruptible.
-
Auto-completion for commands and arguments.
-
Custom config can be defined: command aliases, modules. automatically run at connection, etc.
-
Open interactive python shells with auto-completion on the all-in-memory remote python interpreter.
-
Interactive shells (cmd.exe, /bin/bash, etc) can be opened remotely.
- Remote shells on Unix & Windows clients have a real tty with all keyboard signals working just like an SSH shell.
-
Execute PE executable remotely and from memory.
-
Generate payloads in various formats:
| Format | Architecture | Short Name | |---|---|---| ~~ Android Package ~~ | x86 & ARMv7 | apk Linux Binary | x86 | lin_x86 Linux Binary | x64 | lin_x64 Linux Shared Object | x86 | so_x86 Linux Shared Object | x64 | so_x64 Windows PE Executable | x86 | exe_x86 Windows PE Executable | x64 | exe_x64 Windows DLL | x86 | dll_x86 Windows DLL | x64 | dll_x64 Python Script | x86 & x64 | py Python Oneliner | x86 & x64 | py_oneliner Powershell | x86 & x64 | ps1 Powershell Oneliner | x86 & x64 | ps1_oneliner
-
Deploy in memory from a single command line using python or powershell one-liners.
-
Embed "scriptlets" in generated payloads to perform some tasks "offline" without needing network connectivity (ex: start keylogger, add persistence, execute custom python script, check_vm, etc.)

FAQ
Does the server work on windows?
Pupy has not been tested on Windows. Theoretically, it should work on any platform that supports Docker and Docker Compose. However, you will need to adapt the Docker Compose installation instructions for the Windows platform.
I can't install Pupy. The installation fails.
- Please refer to the wiki. It is possible that your answer is there.
- Search the Github issues and see if your issue was already solved.
- If you issue was not solved, open a new issue following the issue guidelines.
If you do not follow these steps, you issue will be closed.
Android and/or Mac OSX payloads and modules don't work.
Pupy has limited support for Android and OSX. These platforms may not be well maintained and may break intermittently. Some modules (i.e. keylogger) may be missing for these platforms.
