Empire vs Mythic
GitHub Stats
About Empire
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.
About Mythic
Mythic is a multiplayer, command and control platform for red team operations. It's designed to be collaborative, allowing multiple operators to manage agents simultaneously through a web-based UI. Mythic supports multiple agent types (Apollo for .NET, Poseidon for Go, Medusa for Python, etc.) and uses a plugin architecture for extensibility. All communication is containerized and managed through Docker. It tracks operations, manages credentials, and provides file management - a complete red team platform.
