Empire is a post-exploitation and adversary emulation framework maintained by BC-Security. It provides PowerShell, Python, and C# agents (called stagers) with cryptologically-secure communications and a flexible architecture. Empire includes hundreds of post-exploitation modules for privilege escalation, credential harvesting, lateral movement, persistence, and situational awareness across Windows, Linux, and macOS. The framework features a RESTful API, collaborative multi-operator support via Starkiller GUI, and malleable C2 profiles for traffic blending. It maps operations to MITRE ATT&CK for adversary emulation reporting.
