# Laika
Laika is a simple botnet stack for red teaming. It allows authenticated communication across a custom protocol with generated key pairs which are embedded into the executable (only the public key is embedded in the bot client ofc).

Some notable features thus far:
- [X] Lightweight, the bot alone is 270kb (22kb if not statically linked with LibSodium) and uses very little resources.

## Would this work in real world scenarios?
My hope is that this becomes complete enough to be accurate to real botnet sources seen in the wild. However since Laika uses a binary protocol, the traffic the bot/CNC create would look very suspect and scream to sysadmins. This is why most botnets nowadays use an HTTP-based protocol, not only to 'blend in' with traffic, but it also scales well with large networks of bots where the CNC can be deployed across multiple servers and have a generic HTTP load balancer.

I could add some padding to each packet to make it look pseudo-HTTP-like, however I haven't given much thought to this.
