Purpose
Villain is a high-level Stage 0/1 C2 framework that can handle multiple reverse TCP and HoaxShell-based shells, enhance their functionality with additional features (commands, utilities), and share them among connected sibling servers (Villain instances running on different machines).
The framework's main features include:
- Payload generation based on default, customizable and/or user defined payload templates (Windows & Linux),
- A dynamically engaged pseudo-shell prompt that can quickly swift between shell sessions,
- File uploads (via http),
- Fileless execution of scripts against active sessions,
- Auto-invoke ConPtyShell against a powershell r-shell session as a new process to gain a fully interactive Windows shell,
- Multiplayer mode,
- Session Defender (a feature that inspects user issued commands for mistakes / unintentional input that may cause a shell to hang).

Installation
Villain has been explicitly developed and tested on kali linux. You can install it with apt
:
apt install villain
❗New releases may take time to be incorporated into kali's repositories.
For the latest version or if you prefer to install it manually:
git clone https://github.com/t3l3machus/Villain
cd ./Villain
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
You must also install gnome-terminal
(required for one of the framework's commands):
sudo apt update&&sudo apt install gnome-terminal
Usage
You should run as root:
villain [-h] [-p PORT] [-x HOAX_PORT] [-n NETCAT_PORT] [-f FILE_SMUGGLER_PORT] [-i] [-c CERTFILE] [-k KEYFILE] [-u] [-q]
Check out the Usage Guide for more.
:warning: Create your own obfuscated reverse shell templates and replace the default ones in your instance of Villain to better handle AV evasion. Here's how 📽️ -> youtube.com/watch?v=grSBdZdUya0
Contributions
Pull requests are generally welcome. Please, keep in mind: I am constantly working on new tools as well as maintaining several existing ones. I may be slow to respond. If you have an idea for a new feature that comes with a significant chunk of code, I suggest you first contact me to discuss if there's something similar already in the making, before making a PR.
