Presented at DEF CON 31 (2023), Aug. 12, 2023, noon (115 minutes)

Kraken is a modular multi-language webshell focused on web post-exploitation and defense evasion. It supports three technologies (PHP, JSP and ASPX) and its core is developed in Python. Kraken follows the principle of "avoiding command execution" by re-implementing it through the functionalities of the programming language in use. Kraken seeks to provide usability, scalability and improve the OPSEC of ongoing operations.
