Laika is a simple cross-platform Remote Access Toolkit stack for educational purposes. It allows encrypted communication across a custom binary protocol. The bot client supports both Windows & Linux environments, while the shell & CNC server specifically target Linux environments. Laika is meant to be small and discreet, Laika believes in hiding in plain sight.

Some notable features thus far:

  • Lightweight, the bot alone is 183kb (MinSizeRel) and uses very little resources minimizing Laika's footprint.
  • Authentication & packet encryption using LibSodium and a predetermined public CNC key. (generated with bin/genKey)
  • Server and Shell configuration through .ini files.
  • Ability to open shells remotely on the victim's machine.
  • Persistence across reboot: (toggled with -DLAIKA_PERSISTENCE=On)
    • Persistence via Cron on Linux-based systems.
    • Persistence via Windows Registry.
  • Uses obfuscation techniques also seen in the wild (string obfuscation, tiny VMs executing sensitive operations, etc.)
  • Simple configuration using CMake:
    • Setting keypairs (-DLAIKA_PUBKEY=? -DLAIKA_PRIVKEY=?, etc.)
    • Obfuscation modes

How do I use this?

Please refer to the Wiki for any questions relating to deployment, compilation & setup.
