Scope and boundaries
Sage installs into a Mythic server the same way a payload type or C2 profile does, and it has no function outside one. It runs on the control plane and operates through your Mythic payloads. It is not an implant, and it does not create a Sage payload callback. Sage is a native Mythic chat container, so it requires Mythic v4: chat containers do not exist before v4. The beta-qualified target is Mythicv4.0.0rc5; newer v4 builds may work but are outside the
validated matrix. See Limitations and validated configuration.
Three boundaries define the product:
- Target-facing activity always executes through a live Mythic payload callback. Sage may query Mythic and BloodHound control-plane data, but it never connects directly to target LDAP, SMB, Kerberos, WinRM, RPC, HTTP, or similar services.
- Sage-local attack artifacts are not proof. Runtime effects and objective completion require Mythic task output and artifacts, Mythic credential-store state, or BloodHound facts derived from payload-collected artifacts. Self-reported success is not recorded.
- Proof is enforced, not asserted. A durable engagement ledger records each achieved effect with a proof envelope: the Mythic callback, task, and transaction ids, plus verifier result hashes. A row without a valid envelope can never count as achieved.
Two ways to work
Assisted: conversation and supervised
Assisted: conversation and supervised
Ask scoped questions about the operation in
conversation mode (read-only, the safe
default). Switch to supervised to let Sage propose guarded actions; every one of them waits
for your explicit approval, default-deny, before it runs.Auto: autonomous objectives
Auto: autonomous objectives
Give Sage a scoped objective and it runs the observe → select → execute → verify loop without
per-action approval. This is experimental: its current validation is the
GOAD lab environment only, and it does not
establish reliability or generalization elsewhere.
