# Sliver

Sliver is an open-source, cross-platform adversary emulation and red team framework designed for organizations of all sizes to perform authorized security testing.

Sliver implants support command-and-control (C2) over Mutual TLS (mTLS), WireGuard, HTTP(S), and DNS. Implants are dynamically compiled with unique per-binary asymmetric encryption keys and support a wide range of post-exploitation capabilities across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Sliver includes support for native and shellcode payloads, userspace reflective loading, built-in shellcode encoding, and BOF/COFF execution on both amd64 and arm64 architectures for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The Sliver server and client run on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Implants officially support those same platforms and may also run on additional targets supported by the Go compiler, although those configurations are not regularly tested.
