## What it is
BlackMamba is a Python/Qt-based Command and Control (C2) framework for post-exploitation that manages multiple client connections simultaneously. It supports encrypted real-time communication, keylogging, screenshot and video capture, file transfer, and remote mouse control.

## Use cases
- run a command and control server during red team engagements
- manage multiple compromised client sessions at once
- capture screenshots and video from remote machines
- log keystrokes on a target host
- upload and download files from remote clients
- establish encrypted C2 communication channels

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight GUI-based C2 for authorized penetration testing or red team training
- you want a simple Python C2 you can extend yourself
- you need multi-client support with encrypted channels in a lab environment

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained C2 with stealth and evasion features
- you require commercial support or compliance guarantees
- you cannot legally use offensive security tooling in your jurisdiction

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, gui, networking, cryptography
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: windows, python, cross-platform
- tags: c2, command-and-control, red-team, post-exploitation, spyware, keylogger, pyqt5, offensive-security, linux
