Pickle Injection Wrapper

The pickle_wrapper payload is a special payload. This is a python encoder that acts as a "wrapper" around a Medusa agent (any python agent should work). As such, this payload type has no commands and no supported C2 profiles - it simply acts as a way to turn arbitrary other agents into pickle op codes and injects that into a specified Pickle.

To use it you upload a pickle to mythic, and while generating the wrapper, put the name into the appropriate field and pick an agent to wrap. Besides that everything is handled for you. The name you enter is a wildcard search of file names so you just need to type what is unique for the file you want to inject into.

Setup

How to install an agent in this format within Mythic

In order to install the agent, it's pretty simple. Within Mythic you can run the mythic-cli binary to install this in one of three ways:

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

Updates to get things working

Medusa needs to be updated to support pickle_wrapper.

if you get RECONDITION_FAILED - message size XXXXXXX is larger than configured max size 134217728" edit Mythic/rabbitmq-docker/rabbitmq.conf to add the following line max_message_size = 536870911 This is caused when injecting an agent into a pickled file that is larger than approximately 100MB. This sets the maximum to it's complete maximum, and will still only handle 500MB, so another solution is being sought out.

Development

If you are testing on Windows and need to start the http listenner

  1. After starting mythic edit docker-compose.yml
  • Under the HTTP service delete network_mode: host and extra_hosts: as well as the two lines start with - after extra_hosts:
  • Add
 networks:
   - default_network
  1. Run sudo ./mythic-cli mythic start http
