  • Ninja Powershell Implant does include all the modules when loaded in order to bypass the detection and to not uncover unused features by analyst
  • Added Jitter functionality to bypass SIEM statistical analysis by randomizing the period of calling C&C.
  • Added Kill date functionality .
  • Ninja now does not use GET request for implant communications and does not send the agent name in the URL in order to make it more stealth and bypass current SIEM solutions that use this as detection method.
  • Ninja now use IE user agent in implant communications and not default user agent to bypass SIEM detections .
  • Ninja now send request and respond with variable length of data in order to bypass SIEM statistical analysis
  • Ninja now provide executable payloads that bypass 90% of AVs.

  • added short cut commands for AMSI bypass , mimikatz creds dump , dcsync and disable runtime monitoring
  • Fixed the issue of the encoding that faced many users who use Ninja on OS not using English language.

Fully Rebuilt to Use Flask

I have fully rebuilt Ninja to use Flask in order to provide stability and unlimited number of agent support because the old version was only supporting 10 concurrent connections.


Added SSL Support

Now you can setup SSL config when you run start_campaign.py script which will ask you to use default SSL cert already created in Ninja directory or specify your own cert and key .

Ninja load required modules when needed

Ninja now does not load all function using the main powershell payload in order to bypass and detection for these modules and not be analyzed by analyst . when the powershell payload requested , ninja will only send the main payload and when the user use a function Ninja will load the required module.

Bypass Statistical Analysis

Ninja now support Jitter which a feature that randomize the time agent wait before calling the C&C in order to not be caught by SIEM solutions that detect periodic connections that create a specific pattern . Also Ninja now support variable payload size for agent request and server response to bypass being detected by same payload size pattern . below screenshot shows data collected from wireshark that shows (on the left) how the time agent wait to call for a command not same for every request and the request size is variable ( on the right ) .

Undetectable Executable by 90% of AVs

Ninja one liners ( normal payload , base64 payload and base52 payloads ) are 99% undetected but there was issue with .net executable that has been detected lately but now with new technique to bypass the AV . Ninja .net executable has been tested on various AVs and bypassed their detection like kaspersky.

Defense Analysis Command support Domain joined or not device

Now you can use DA command to get information about the device and get domain enumeration if the device is joined to domain

Added Kill Date Functionality

Ninja now support kill date in order set a date to end your campaign automatically when the date you specified is reached.

Ninja Now Support command History and auto complete

Its simple but very useful feature as i really needed it in my pentest to stop writing full commands or go back to search manually for old command i typed .

I would like to thank all the people who tested Ninja and provided me your their feedback . i will keep working to enhance Ninja and add more features.

  1. Unfortunately I am not able to connect to the C2 server. I followed the instructions on Github and no matter what payload I try I don´t see a connection. What am I doing wrong? Any help is highly appreciated.

  2. Unfortunately after configuring everything with python start_campaign.py, I try to launch python Ninja.py but it’s asking me to do start_campaign again and again… 🙁

    I’m using python 2.7 (because 3.0 isn’t compatible)
