Thank you for purchasing Cobalt Strike!

Install Instructions
ATTENTION!! Because of the way the Teamserver has been packed since Cobalt Strike
4.6 it's no longer possible to run it on Windows, only Linux! The Cobalt Strike
Client is compatible with Windows, MacOS and Linux.

Teamserver Install instructions

If you use Windows, download Virtualbox and install either Kali Linux, Ubuntu,
Linux Mint, Whonix or Debian 11. Any Debian based distro will work. I used Ubuntu.

1-Extract Cobalt Strike folder. Open a Terminal and "cd" into the TeamServer folder
(or open TeamServer folder, right click - open Terminal Here).
2-Run or copy-paste the following commands in Terminal in order, to install needed
components:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install default-jdk

Cobalt Strike needs minimum version 11 of java jdk. If you run an older distro
check online how to install OpenJDK 11 for your distro version.

3-After install is complete, run or copy-paste the following to start the Cobalt
Strike team server:

sudo bash teamserver ip password

Options ip and password stand for teamserver IP and admin password. Change the ip
to the ip of your adapter. Do not use 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0. It won't work. Use
command "sudo ifconfig" in a new Terminal tab or window and copy "inet" IP address
of your network adapter. In my case it's 192.168.100.168. Change the password to
whatever you want, here it's "admin".
Commands for me are:

sudo chmod +x teamserver

sudo chmod +x TeamServerImage
sudo bash teamserver 192.168.100.168 admin

You should now see "Team server is up on 0.0.0.0:5050" . Team Server is now
running.

Client Install Instructions

The client is where all the action happens.

Windows
1-Install Java JDK 11. Download the latest OpenJDK 11 version from here:
www.openlogic.com/openjdk-downloads

2-After install is complete, go to Client folder and run cobaltstrike.cmd

Client Connect dialog should open. To login as admin, in this case:

Alias:192.168.100.168
Host:192.168.100.168
Port:50050
User:neo
Password:admin
3-Click on Connect to login. Cobalt Strike should open. Congratulations! You are
set.

Linux
1-Open a Terminal and "cd" into the Client folder (or open Client folder, right
click - open Terminal Here).
If you run the client on the same VM/environment as the team server skip to Step 3.

2-Run or copy-paste the following commands in Terminal in order, to install needed

components:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install default-jdk

3-After install is complete, run or copy-paste the following to start the Cobalt
Strike Client:
