Compiling Executable Payloads

Compiling Executable Payloads

• To compile a binary executable payload instead of a Python script, you can use the --freeze argument when running client.py. This will create an executable payload in the dist folder.

** Example ** python client.py 192.168.1.1 1337 --freeze will create an executable payload in the /byob/dist/ folder.

• TIP: If the executable doesn't run properly, try running client.py with the --debug argument. This will enable logging and debugging output to be displayed when the executable runs. You can use this information to debug what the issue is, or if you're stuck, copy/paste the debugging output in our Discord server and a developer can try to diagnose the issue.

For example, a common error on Windows is a dialog which says 'Failed to execute script' without any useful information about what went wrong). The --debug option is very useful in this case to see exactly what is going wrong.

** Example ** python client.py 192.168.1.1 1337 --freeze --debug will create an executable payload in the /byob/dist/ folder which displays debugging output when executed.
