For several months now I've been slowly, but surely, working behind the scenes to dramatically enhance vx-underground.
I still don't have a definitive timeline, but I would like to share some stuff coming.
1. All source code will be moved from GitHub to vx-underground. The new vx-underground will have functionality to search through code bases by keywords for research, filter by language type, yada yada yada.
2. Enhanced malware paper searching. It'll be easier to search for stuff now.
3. API access to verified individuals. This is designed for researchers, or organizations, who may want the ability to perform large downloads programmatically.
4. Paid tier. vx-underground will remain free for everyone. However, if you're an organization which makes more than $1,000,000/year you will have to pay for some functionality (malware sample API downloads). I will not charge thousands of dollars, I'm not greedy, but some of you large companies are jerks and need to pay up for scraping the site for AI and samples. API access will be free for individual researchers, small businesses, students, non-profits, and government institutions. Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way large for-profit organizations will not donate.
5. I've heard your complaints for YEARS. We are looking for a HTML-only vx-underground implementation, probably as a subdomain or something. I'm well aware you hardcore nerds hate JavaScript. I will continue investigating this.
6. We're working on our 4th book, Black Mass Volume IV.
I have more to announce, but some details are still up in the air. These changes likely won't appear until ... I don't know, bro. I've got a full time job and a family. I'm thinking probably late 2026, early 2027.
Thank you to our donors and sponsors that make this possible. I'm not as speedy as I used to be with updates, but I'm still cooking.
Cheers

You may work on a project for years, but it’s the tiny, inventive touches, the sudden eureka moments, that you remember most. Today had one of those unforgettable ones.
Today I had a fun idea: create a GitHub Actions workflow that fully automates building the sleepmask-vs kit from @_CobaltStrike with a single click. No Visual Studio installation is required. No cross-compilers are needed for ARM/macOS users. Simply trigger the workflow, wait a few moments, and download the compiled artifacts. I've opened a pull request to add this functionality to the official repository:
PR: github.com/Cobalt-Strike/…
Until it's merged, you can use the workflow from my fork: github.com/nickvourd/slee…#redteam#cobaltstrike
After the recent wave of flags on offensive‑security posts, we weren’t spared, but we did win every appeal. We’re fully reinstated for now, though who knows how long it will last. 💀
@kimmydotzip This happens at the very early stage before the code does anything payload related. Doesn't require code patching or anything else of the usual methods. It suppresses ETW logging for the calling process.
🔥🔥🔥
It’s been a while since our last demo release, but we’re back with a brand-new one. Enjoy! Shellter Elite – Elastic + Defender Evasion – AdaptixC2 Kharon Agent shellterproject.com/shellter-elite…
