## Generating manual run command
Manual run command can be generated through the Island Server UI, by going to "Run Monkey" -> "Manual" page.
A command to run the agent manually can be generated by the Island Server UI by
going to the "Run Monkey" -> "Manual" page.
### Downloading the agent manually
As evident by the generated commands, agent binaries can be downloaded
by sending a get request to `https://[IP]:5000/api/agent/download/[OS]`, where
`[IP]` stands for the IP address of the Island server and `[OS]` is either `windows` or `linux`.
Agent binaries can be downloaded by sending a `GET` request to
`https://[IP]:5000/api/agent/download/[OS]`, where `[IP]` stands for the IP
address of the Island server and `[OS]` is either `windows` or `linux`.
### Running the agent binary
Agent binary can be started with `m0nk3y` or `dr0pp3r` flags.
The agent binary must be started with either the `m0nk3y` or `dr0pp3r` flag.
`m0nk3y` flag is the standard way
to run the agent.
The `m0nk3y` flag is the standard way to run the agent.
`dr0pp3r` will move the agent binary to a location provided with an `-l` flag.
Then it will start that binary with a `m0nk3y` flag on a new process. Finally, it will stop
the current process and shut down. This flag is useful if you want to start the agent on a separate
process. This flag is used by the agent to execute other agents on exploited machines.
This way, the parent agent doesn't have to wait until the child finishes to continue the execution.
The `dr0pp3r` flag invokes the agent dropper. The dropper will move the agent
binary to a location provided with the `-l` flag. Then, it will start the agent
with the `m0nk3y` flag as a new process. Finally, the dropper will shut itself
down. This flag is useful if you want to detach the agent from an exploited
service or parent process. It alleviates the need for the parent process to
wait until the agent finishes.
