Mythic vs Empire
GitHub Stats
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.
About Empire
Empire is a post-exploitation and adversary emulation framework that uses PowerShell (Windows) and Python (Linux/macOS) agents. It features cryptologically-secure communications, a flexible architecture, and a wide range of post-exploitation modules. Empire was originally developed by BC Security and has been used extensively in both red team operations and real-world attacks. It supports credential harvesting, lateral movement, persistence, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.
