Nimplant – A Cross-Platform Implant Written In Nim
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.
Installation
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.
Highlighted Agent Features
- Cross-platform
- Fully asynchronous
- Can generate agents compiled from both C and C++ source code

Supported C2 Profiles
Currently, only one C2 profile is available to use when creating a new Nimplant agent: HTTP.
HTTP Profile
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.
More coming soon!
Roadmap
- [] Ability to compile to Objective-C for macOS capabilities
- [] Integration of Donut to allow user to generate shellcode as output
- [] Communication via WebSockets
- [] Screenshotting capabilities
