  1. Start the Conquest team server with a C2 profile. The default profile is located in data/profile.toml and can be adapted by the operator.
bin/server -p data/profile

On the first start, the Conquest team server creates the Conquest database in the data directory, as well as the team server's private key in data/keys, which is used for the key exchange between team server, client and agent.

Team server start

  1. Start the Conquest operator client
bin/client

By default, the Conquest client connects to localhost:37573 to connect to the team server. The address and port can be specified from the command-line using the -i and -p flags. The team server port is specified in the malleable C2 profile.

bin/client -i <team-server-address> -p <team-server-port>
