slime Roadmap

Tier 1: Advanced Obfuscation & Evasion

Code Obfuscation:

• Polymorphic XOR keys - Generate random keys per execution
• Control flow obfuscation - Add junk instructions, fake branches
• String encryption - AES/ChaCha20 for command strings
• Anti-debugging - PTRACE detection, timing checks
• Packing evolution - Custom packers, multiple layers

Binary Evasion:

• Entropy manipulation - Make packed binary look normal
• Import obfuscation - Dynamic API resolution
• Section name randomization - Avoid suspicious names
• Certificate spoofing - Sign with legitimate-looking certs

Tier 2: Stealth & OPSEC

Runtime Stealth:

• Process name spoofing - Masquerade as legitimate processes
• Parent process validation - Only run from expected parents
• Timestomping - Match file timestamps to system files
• Memory-only execution - Reflective loading, no disk artifacts
• Log evasion - Avoid triggering common monitoring

Network Stealth:

• DNS over HTTPS - Exfiltrate via DoH
• Traffic shaping - Mimic legitimate protocols
• Domain fronting - Hide C2 behind CDNs
• Steganography - Hide data in images/documents

Tier 3: Advanced Reconnaissance

System Intelligence:

• EDR/AV detection and fingerprinting
• Sandbox detection (VM artifacts, timing)
• Privilege escalation path enumeration
• Lateral movement opportunities
• Domain enumeration (if domain-joined)
• Container/cloud environment detection

Adaptive Reconnaissance:

• Environment-aware command selection
• Risk-based execution (avoid noisy commands)
• Credential harvesting (memory, files, registry)
• Network topology mapping
• Service enumeration with version detection

Tier 4: Professional Features

Operational Security:

• Self-destruct mechanisms - Time-based or trigger-based
• Execution logging - Encrypted logs for post-op analysis
• Failure handling - Graceful degradation, no crashes
• Resource monitoring - CPU/memory usage limits
• Persistence options - Multiple installation methods

Modularity & Flexibility:

• Plugin architecture - Loadable reconnaissance modules
• Configuration profiles - Different modes (stealth/speed/comprehensive)
• Custom payloads - User-defined command sequences
• Output formatting - JSON, XML, custom formats
• Encryption - All output encrypted with operator keys

Tier 5: Elite Level Features

Advanced Techniques:

• Living off the land - Use only built-in OS tools
• Fileless operation - Pure memory execution
• Kernel-level hooks - Rootkit-style hiding
• Hardware fingerprinting - Unique system identification
• Behavioral analysis - Learn normal vs suspicious activity

Intelligence Integration:

• Threat intel feeds - IOC checking, reputation scoring
• MITRE ATT&CK mapping - Technique classification
• Risk scoring - Automated vulnerability assessment
• Report generation - Professional penetration test reports

Implementation Priority

• Phase 1 (Immediate): Tier 1 obfuscation + basic stealth
• Phase 2 (Short-term): Tier 2 OPSEC + Tier 3 adaptive recon
• Phase 3 (Medium-term): Tier 4 professional features
• Phase 4 (Long-term): Tier 5 elite capabilities
