EvilOSX is a Remote Administration Tool (RAT) for macOS/OS X written in pure Python, with a server providing both GUI and CLI interfaces and an extendable module system. It supports encrypted payloads, persistence, and post-exploitation modules such as credential retrieval, screenshots, microphone recording, and privilege escalation attempts.

Use cases

  • demonstrate macOS post-exploitation techniques in a pentest
  • build a reverse shell payload for macOS targets
  • retrieve browser passwords and iCloud tokens during an authorized assessment
  • record microphone audio or capture webcam screenshots from a compromised Mac
  • test macOS endpoint detection against RAT behavior
  • learn how RATs and encrypted C2 channels work

When to choose

  • you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming on macOS
  • you need an educational example of RAT architecture and module systems
  • you want a pure-Python payload with no bot-side dependencies

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained or supported tool - the project is no longer active
  • you want a general-purpose legitimate remote administration solution
  • using it against systems without explicit authorization is illegal
