Ghostwriter


ghostwriter

This is a Mythic agent for interacting with the 3rd party service, Ghostwriter.

This doesn't build a payload, but instead generates a "callback" within Mythic that allows you to interact with Ghostwriter's GraphQL API.

Once you have Ghostwriter running, generate an API JWT and set it as GHOSTWRITER_API_KEY as a user secret in the Mythic UI (red key on your operator settings page).

How to install an agent in this format within Mythic

When it's time for you to test out your install or for another user to install your agent, it's pretty simple. Within Mythic you can run the mythic-cli binary to install this in one of three ways:

  • sudo ./mythic-cli install github https://github.com/user/repo to install the main branch
  • sudo ./mythic-cli install github https://github.com/user/repo branchname to install a specific branch of that repo
  • sudo ./mythic-cli install folder /path/to/local/folder/cloned/from/github to install from an already cloned down version of an agent repo

Now, you might be wondering when should you or a user do this to properly add your agent to their Mythic instance. There's no wrong answer here, just depends on your preference. The three options are:

  • Mythic is already up and going, then you can run the install script and just direct that agent's containers to start (i.e. sudo ./mythic-cli start agentName and if that agent has its own special C2 containers, you'll need to start them too via sudo ./mythic-cli start c2profileName).
  • Mythic is already up and going, but you want to minimize your steps, you can just install the agent and run sudo ./mythic-cli start. That script will first stop all of your containers, then start everything back up again. This will also bring in the new agent you just installed.
  • Mythic isn't running, you can install the script and just run sudo ./mythic-cli start.
