Offensive Lua is a collection of offensive security scripts written in Lua with FFI. The scripts run with LuaJIT on Microsoft Windows to perform common red teaming tasks.
- Download and/or Run an EXE
- Bypass UAC
- Files, Memory, Networking & Registry
- Bind a shell
- whoami.exe alternatives
Lua is a lesser used but very useful choice for post-exploitation scripting language. It's flexible, lightweight, easy to embed, runs interpreted or as bytecode from memory and allows for JIT to interact with the host OS libraries. It is also trivial to obfuscate and is very fast to learn and adapt.
