Supernova is an open-source command-line tool written in Go for encrypting and obfuscating raw shellcode. It supports multiple ciphers including AES variants, RC4, XOR, ChaCha20, and ROT/CAESAR ciphers for red team and penetration testing workflows.

Use cases

  • encrypt raw shellcode with aes-256-cbc
  • obfuscate shellcode for red team engagements
  • convert shellcode to encrypted output formats
  • apply xor or rc4 encryption to payloads
  • generate obfuscated shellcode for evasion testing
  • pentest tooling for shellcode transformation

When to choose

  • you need a dedicated shellcode encryptor with many cipher options
  • you are doing authorized red team or penetration testing
  • you want a Go-based CLI that runs cross-platform

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose file encryption tool
  • you want a GUI-based payload framework
  • your use case involves unauthorized or illegal activity
