# Impacket

Start Empire

```
https://bc-security.gitbook.io/empire-wiki/interfaces/starkiller/introduction
```

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire.git
cd Empire
./setup/checkout-latest-tag.sh
sudo ./setup/install.sh

or
sudo apt install powershell-empire
```

### Server

```bash
# Start Server
./ps-empire server

# Help
./ps-empire server -h
```

### Client

```bash
# Start Client
./ps-empire client

# Help
./ps-empire client -h
```

Both the client and server can be reset by passing a `--reset` flag. This will delete the database and any files that were created at runtime. It is recommended to run a `--reset` after any upgrades.\\

```
./ps-empire client --reset
./ps-empire server --reset
```
