persistence failed

[Robiii97]

Chaos is working great is use it to transfer music and pictures from my nethunter phone to my desktop pc. the only issue iam having is that it keeps saying persistence failed when i try to enable it and it also makes my command terminal all bugged it stops responding to commands and i must reinstall the payload for it to work again. I tried to disable persistence and reenable it but doesnt work

What is your version of Windows?

[Robiii97]

I tried it on multiple versions of windows 10 pro,home 64bit

Try run the executable generated as administrator. Maybe it don't have permissions for do that.

What is the letter of the partition your Window is installed? C?

[Robiii97]

I aready tried administrator didnt work either. yes it is c:/

I did the test here, and it's not working on Windows 10. CHAOS uses a method to install on startup that does not require administrative permissions, but it does not work in Windows 10 (i tested on Windows 7 and it's working). The problem is that depending on how I change it to install it in initialization, it will be required to run always with administrative permissions.

The command to install at startup is as follows: _REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /V "Microsoft Corporation" /t REG_SZ /F /D %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\RANDOM\payload.exe_

I'll be seeing the best way to do this, so I'm going to update the code.

Thanks for feedback!

While I do not update the code, you can copy the executable to the following path:

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Thanks alot. This project is awesome :)

[Robiii97]

Thank you. will it take a while for the code to get updated? and also what are your plans for the future? with this project? Will you add more features? Curious =)

Now i'm pretty busy with academic project. But i'll update you as soon as i can.

Hello, i did the test again here on my Windows 10, and it's working. Do you could test again please?

Check if you don't any antivirus on your system then can block the payload. Ps: i have disabled Windows Defender on my system.

i got to test it on 1 machine and it worked. also can you enable dns usage?? when i try it now it says invalid lhost it only accepts ip's

[tiagorlampert]

The way CHAOS works, i can't implement it. You can only use IP address.

just edit the code instead of limiting to 15 characters make it like 50 and then you can use a hostname dns instead of an ip

[tiagorlampert]

Hello, I was seeing the documentation and it seems that passing the hostname in the IP place is to work, like you said. But I couldn't test it. Did you get a test to see if it works?

I aggree with this idea. Please try to do it when you are available. Thx in advance.

I have tested it and I can say it works.
