folder extraction suggestion

[nurs404]

currently the only way to extract a folder from target PC is to .zip it through remote cmd and then extract .zip file then delete it on target PC
it would be nice if you made it a function that will extract folders and sub folders with 1 click by doing all that automatically

I think this is pretty agent-dependent, but are you wanting to:
A) Create a zip in memory of all the files/folders, download that zip to Mythic, and save it to Mythic as a zip?

• pros
  • you have one file you download as a zip
  • you can download it all from mythic as a zip
• cons
  • you have to hold in agent memory all of the files/folders and zip it in memory. For a lot of files/folders or for large files, that starts to defeat the purpose of chunking files for transfers
  • if you download that as a single zip to Mythic, you lose the associated file browser tracking for all those files/folders
  • if you download that as a single zip to Mythic, you lose the ability to download individual files from Mythic's UI

B) Have an agent command that simply recursively downloads files and sends them to Mythic. Then have a feature within Mythic where instead of downloading a file or group of files at a time, you could maybe look at the file browser and download a zip of a "folder" that Mythic knows about?

• pros
  • you get the benefit of chunking files for transfers
  • you can download each file individually from Mythic's UI if you want
  • you get a properly updated file browser
• cons
  • it takes longer (each file has to transfer individually)
  • it's more data to transfer (without the compression of zips, it's more data to send potentially)

C) something else?

ok, i was just talking about ways of downloading folders through Mythic cause some times you need whole folder consisting of 100 small files, i don't know much specifics just wanted to have a way to do this faster and easier then manually running command each time so ye i don't really care about how it would work cause i don't understand it, i just had my way and wanted to suggest it tho it isn't the best but it works

Ah ok, thank you for the additional context! I'll see what I can get added in. It seems like it would be most likely to be a per-agent request. Which specific agents do you leverage?

usually i use apolo ;) (i think we can close it)
