Starkiller is a Frontend for Powershell Empire. It is a web application written in VueJS. If you'd like to contribute please follow the Contribution guide. If you'd like to request a feature or report a bug, please follow the Issue template.

As of Empire 5.0 and Starkiller 2.0, you no longer need to install Starkiller or build it from source. It is prepackaged in Empire as a submodule and served via Empire's API.

Sponsoring at the Individual level will give access to extra features. At the moment, the extra Starkiller sponsorship features include:

Process Browser

Browse the running processes on an agent's host from the Processes tab.

Modify Module Scripts

Edit a module's script in an in-browser editor before executing it.

Enable/Disable Modules

Bulk-select modules and toggle their availability from the Modules page.

IP Filtering

Allow and deny lists controlling which source addresses Empire accepts agent traffic from.

There is also a collection of Empire plugins available via sponsorship.

Thanks to our sponsors the following features which started as sponsor features have been moved to the public and kali builds.

• File browser
• Popout windows
• Chat widget
• Bypass management
• Malleable profile management
• Dashboard
• Graph View
