Forge is a "Command Augmentation" Payload Type for Mythic that brings in @Flangvik's SharpCollection and Sliver's Armory.
Forge itself doesn't build and isn't deployed to a target host; instead, it provides "alias" type commands for BOF execution and .NET execution that are then passed to another Payload Type's commands.
For example, a forge_net_Rubeus
command might get passed to Apollo's execute_assembly
command for execution.
Forge comes preconfigured for Apollo
and Athena
, but new agent support can always be added on the fly with the forge_support
command (only needs to happen once per Mythic instance) or by modifying the payload_type_support.json
file on disk and restarting the container.

Special shoutout to Alex DeMine for coming up with the name and logo!
When it's time for you to test out your install or for another user to install your agent, it's pretty simple. Within Mythic you can run the mythic-cli
binary to install this in one of three ways:
sudo ./mythic-cli install github https://github.com/user/repo
to install the main branchsudo ./mythic-cli install github https://github.com/user/repo branchname
to install a specific branch of that reposudo ./mythic-cli install folder /path/to/local/folder/cloned/from/github
to install from an already cloned down version of an agent repo
Now, you might be wondering when should you or a user do this to properly add your agent to their Mythic instance. There's no wrong answer here, just depends on your preference. The three options are:
- Mythic is already up and going, then you can run the install script and just direct that agent's containers to start (i.e.
sudo ./mythic-cli start agentName
and if that agent has its own special C2 containers, you'll need to start them too viasudo ./mythic-cli start c2profileName
). - Mythic is already up and going, but you want to minimize your steps, you can just install the agent and run
sudo ./mythic-cli start
. That script will first stop all of your containers, then start everything back up again. This will also bring in the new agent you just installed. - Mythic isn't running, you can install the script and just run
sudo ./mythic-cli start
.
Awesome! If it's a .NET assembly, please first reach out to @Flangvik and try to get it added to their SharpCollection project. If it's a BOF, please first reach out to the Sliver team and try to get it added to their Armory.
Forge is built on the backs of these two amazing projects, so if there's going to be community effort put forth to adding more capabilities, I want these two great projects to get those updates first if possible.
The Poseidon documentation source code can be found in the documenation-payload/forge
directory.
View the rendered documentation by clicking on Docs -> Agent Documentation in the upper right-hand corner of the Mythic
interface.
If you want to build outside of Mythic, you can use the Makefile
included in the project's Payload_Type/forge
directory. You will need to modify the variables at the top of the Makefile to match the information for connecting to Mythic.
