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
