Nimplant is a cross-platform (Linux & Windows) implant written in Nim as a fun project to learn about Nim and see what it can bring to the table for red team tool development. Currently, Nimplant lacks extensive evasive tradecraft; however, overtime Nimplant will become much more sophisticated.
To install Nimplant, you’ll need Mythic installed on a remote computer. You can find installation instructions for Mythic at the Mythic project page.
From the Mythic install root, run the command:
./install_agent_from_github.sh https://github.com/MythicAgents/Nimplant
Once installed, restart Mythic to build a new agent.

Currently, only one C2 profile is available to use when creating a new Nimplant agent: HTTP.
The HTTP profile calls back to the Mythic server over the basic, non-dynamic profile. When selecting options to be stamped into Nimplant at compile time, all options are respected with the exception of those parameters relating to GET requests.
