10.4.4 Configuration Commands
The task sub-shell provides the following commands that will add Assassin
configuration commands to the task being created. The configuration determines
when and how the Implant communicates and the duration of the operation. Any
changes to the running configuration must be persisted explicitly if they are to
be retained on implant restart.
Configuration Set Commands
The configuration set commands are used to manipulate the configuration sets.
See section 7.7.1 on Configuration Sets.
persist_settings
Persist the running target configuration. The running configuration set is copied
to the persistent configuration set.
All configuration changes must be explicitly persisted, or they will revert on
next startup.
restore_defaults [--basic] [--beacon] [--comms] [--list] [--all]
Restore the Implant configuration to factory settings.
Any changes made by restore must be persisted explicitly.
--basic
restore settings for when implant runs (hibernate, uninstall
date)
--beacon
restore settings for when target beacons
(initial wait, interval, maximum, jitter, backoff, max failures)
--comms
restore settings for target communications
--list
restore settings for white and black lists
--all
restore all of the settings (default)
Beacon Configuration
The beacon configuration commands are used to modify the settings related to
when Assassin beacons. This includes beacon timing and blacklist/whitelist
checks against the process list.
set_beacon [--interval SECONDS] [--jitter SECONDS] [--initial-wait SECONDS]
[--backoff FACTOR] [--max-interval SECONDS]
Set the running beacon timing configuration.
--interval
SECONDS
default time interval between beacons
