## What it is
Starkiller is a web-based graphical frontend for PowerShell Empire, a post-exploitation C2 framework. It is written in VueJS and ships prepackaged with Empire 5.0+, served via Empire's API.

## Use cases
- manage empire c2 listeners and agents from a gui
- visual interface for red team operations
- replace empire cli with a web dashboard
- run post-exploitation tasks without typing commands
- collaborate on redteam infrastructure through a browser

## When to choose
- you use PowerShell Empire and want a GUI instead of the CLI
- you need a multi-user web interface for C2 operations
- you are doing authorized red team engagements with Empire

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone C2 framework (Starkiller requires Empire)
- you are looking for defensive/blue-team tooling
- you cannot run Empire's API server

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, security
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: c2, red-team, empire, vuejs, frontend, offensive-security, web-server
