Sliver Workshop Part 2: Staging & Automation
In our second workshop, we’ll explore Sliver’s new implant staging process and demonstrate basic CLI automation features. We’ll also walk through Sliver’s supported pivot types for lateral movement, including TCP, and wrap up by exploring automation options using the SliverPy project.
Watch Part 2 of our interactive Sliver workshop series, led by Bishop Fox Senior Security Consultant Tim Ghatas, as we continue exploring advanced offensive security techniques using the open-source Sliver C2 framework.
In this hands-on session, we’ll go beyond the basics to examine the new implant staging process introduced in recent Sliver updates. We’ll then dive into command-line interface (CLI) automation, demonstrating the basic CLI automation features. The workshop will also provide a comprehensive walkthrough of Sliver’s supported pivot types for lateral movement, with a focus on TCP-based pivots. To wrap up, we’ll introduce the SliverPy project, showcasing how it can be used to extend Sliver’s capabilities through automation and custom tooling.
💡 Pre-requisite: This workshop builds on content from “Sliver Workshop - Getting Started & 1.6 Features.” Attendees are encouraged to review Part 1 or have basic familiarity with Sliver.
Speaker: Tim Makram Ghatas, Senior Security Consultant II, Bishop Fox
