How to build a monkey binary from scratch. The monkey is composed of three separate parts. * The Infection Monkey itself - PyInstaller compressed python archives * Sambacry binaries - Two linux binaries, 32/64 bit. * Mimikatz binaries - Two windows binaries, 32/64 bit. --- Windows --- 1. Install python 2.7. Preferably you should use ActiveState Python which includes pywin32 built in. You must use an up to date version, at least version 2.7.10 https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/ If not using ActiveState, install pywin32, minimum build 219 http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32 3. a. install VCForPython27.msi https://aka.ms/vcpython27 b. if not installed, install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package 32bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 64bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523 4. Download the dependent python packages using pip install -r requirements.txt 5. Download and extract UPX binary to [source-path]\monkey\chaos_monkey\bin\upx.exe: https://github.com/upx/upx/releases/download/v3.94/upx394w.zip 6. To build the final exe: cd [code location]/chaos_monkey build_windows.bat output is placed under dist\monkey.exe --- Linux --- Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04. 1. Run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev upx libssl-dev libc++1 Install the python packages listed in requirements.txt using pip pip install -r requirements.txt 2. Place the source code in code/monkey/chaos_monkey 3. To build, run in terminal: cd [code location]/chaos_monkey chmod +x build_linux.sh ./build_linux.sh output is placed under dist/monkey -- Sambacry -- Sambacry requires two standalone binaries to execute remotely. Compiling them requires gcc. cd [code location]/chaos_monkey/monkey_utils/sambacry_monkey_runner ./build.sh -- Mimikatz -- Mimikatz is required for the Monkey to be able to steal credentials on Windows. It's possible to either compile from sources (requires Visual Studio 2013 and up) or download the binaries from https://github.com/guardicore/mimikatz/releases/tag/1.0.0 Download both 32 and 64 bit DLLs and place them under [code location]\chaos_monkey\bin
