MACOS Havoc C2 Client

Paper Compile MacOS Havoc C2 Client

Today I had some issues compiling the Havoc Client on my MacOS, and after finding very little content to help, I decided to create this repository to assist others who might be facing the same problem on their MacOS.

Well, I will only talk about the Client because that was the only one I had trouble with, and the only one I needed, as my teamserver is on another Ubuntu server.

Important

Note: I imagine there might be other ways to compile everything without any errors, but this was the only one that worked for me. Downloading the CPP dependencies via brew, as I saw in some issues and even in Havoc's own manual, was a complete disaster.

1. Installing cmake, qt, python, go

brew install cmake qt@5 python@3.10 && brew link --overwrite qt@5

1. Cloning the Havoc repository

git clone https://github.com/HavocFramework/Havoc

After cloning the Havoc repository, go to the client and external folders with your terminal, and delete everything.

cd Havoc/client/external && rm -rf *

2. Downloading Havoc's CPP dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/ToruNiina/toml11 && \
git clone https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt && \
git clone https://github.com/gabime/spdlog && \
git clone https://github.com/nlohmann/json && \
cd toml11 && git checkout tags/v3.0.0 && cd ..

3. Configuring the CPP dependencies in Havoc.

To do this, open the CMakeLists.txt file located in the client folder.

Go to line 30, and the code should look like this:

Comment out the code in the screenshot above and configure each folder for the dependencies you cloned into the external folder. It should look something like this:

Now just run make in the client folder, and the Havoc Client will compile perfectly.

make

After the compilation is finished, you just need to start Havoc from the project's root folder.

$ ./client/Havoc client
