Server Getting Started

NOTE: It is necessary to run the Data Service first, before running the C2 Server.

Directories & Files

When running the C2 Server for the first time, it will create several directories and files:

• ~/.wiregost/ - The root directory for Wiregost server

In this root directory:

• certs/ - Stores all root Certificate Authorities certificates for Wiregost usage.
• db/ - Stores all BadgerDB files for most of Wiregost C2 functionality.
• users/ - Stores all user configs registered in the C2 server. Each time a user is added (except the default one, see below), his config file will be saved here.
• logs/ - All logs for the C2 Server are here.

---

Default user

The first time the C2 Server is ran, it will automatically:

• Create a default user named wiregost, with a config pointing to a server located at localhost:1708, with default=true.
• Create a ~/.wiregost-client/ directory (for the console)
• Move the default user config to ~/.wiregost-client/configs/

Then, you are able to launch the client console, which will automatically connect to this C2 Server.

NOTE: This process is independant of the way the C2 is started, whether from Console or as a Systemd unit. So you can "get started" by using the Systemd unit file as well.
