## What it is
CrossC2 is a framework that generates cross-platform Cobalt Strike beacon payloads for Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like targets, extending Cobalt Strike's Windows-centric post-exploitation capabilities. It integrates with Cobalt Strike via Aggressor scripts and a CLI generator, supporting custom C2 profiles and Unix post-penetration module development.

## Use cases
- generate cobalt strike beacon for linux
- create cross-platform c2 payload for macos
- extend cobalt strike to non-windows targets
- run red team operations on unix systems
- generate beacon with custom c2 profile
- post-exploitation on linux and mac hosts

## When to choose
- you already run Cobalt Strike and need Linux/macOS beacons
- you need custom C2 profile support for cross-platform implants
- you want Unix post-exploitation module development within Cobalt Strike

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone C2 framework without Cobalt Strike
- you only target Windows systems
- you require a permissively licensed tool for commercial use (no license specified)

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: cobalt-strike, redteam, c2, payload-generation, post-exploitation, linux, macos
