## What it is
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- you need a maintained or supported tool - the project is no longer active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

## Facets
