RUSTVERSARY is a curated Rust-based toolkit offering diverse malware development and red teaming tools focused on exploitation, persistence, and post-exploitation techniques.
🦀 RUSTVERSARY: A comprehensive repository of tools and scripts for malware development practices.
This toolkit is designed for penetration testers, red teamers, and security enthusiasts who want to develop, test, and understand malware techniques using Rust. It provides practical scripts and tools for process injection, persistence mechanisms, and exploitation to simulate adversary behaviors during security assessments.
Users should have a working Rust environment and familiarity with cargo to build and run these tools. Given the offensive nature of these scripts, they should only be used in authorized environments and for ethical security testing. Proper understanding of Windows internals and process management is recommended to effectively utilize the process injection and persistence techniques.
