About Mythic
Mythic is a multiplayer, command and control platform for red team operations. It's designed to be collaborative, allowing multiple operators to manage agents simultaneously through a web-based UI. Mythic supports multiple agent types (Apollo for .NET, Poseidon for Go, Medusa for Python, etc.) and uses a plugin architecture for extensibility. All communication is containerized and managed through Docker. It tracks operations, manages credentials, and provides file management — a complete red team platform.
