Project Status: 🚀 In Development (Update: 2026-01-12). Core Architecture: 🧠 Python/FastAPI Server + 📱 Android (Kotlin) + 💻 Desktop (Rust). Mission: Secure, multi-platform intelligence gathering and remote execution.

📋 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW 👽

Hydra-C2 is designed as a centralized “brain” (The Hydra Server) capable of managing diverse “Heads” (Agents) across different operating systems. It prioritizes stealth via SSL-pinned handshakes and persistence through automated security bypass scripts.

1. 🛰️ The Hydra (C2 Server)

Built with Python & FastAPI, the server acts as the central command dispatcher.

Dynamic Intelligence: Platform-aware logging (Mobile vs Desktop).
Automated Tracking: Persistent SQLite database for all active “Heads”.
Keylog Processor: Automated timestamping for incoming keystroke data.
File Management: Dedicated endpoints for /upload (exfiltration) and /download (looting).

2. 📱 Android Head

A stealthy background service written in Kotlin for high-fidelity mobile intelligence.

Geospatial Intelligence: Automated Live Tracking at 30s intervals.
Audio Intelligence: Remote-triggered background recording (MPEG4-AAC).
Persistence: Foreground Service with NotificationChannel and WakeLock to prevent OS termination.

3. 💻 Desktop Head

A high-performance agent written in Rust utilizing the Tokio async runtime.

Telemetry: Real-time monitoring of Hostname, OS version, and RAM via sysinfo.
Keylogging: Event-driven capture via rdev with buffered exfiltration.
Audio Intelligence: Persistent capture via cpal with automated WAV exfiltration.

⚙️ OPERATIONAL SETUP

Server Initialization (Arch Linux)

python -m uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8443 --ssl-keyfile ./key.pem --ssl-certfile ./cert.pem

🔐 Automated Android Deployment

The deploy.sh script is critical for bypassing Android 11+ restrictions:

Permissions: Auto-grants Camera, Mic, GPS, and Storage via ADB.
AppOps Bypass: Forces MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and START_FOREGROUND.
Persistence: Whitelists the agent from Battery Optimization (Doze Mode).

🕹 COMMANDER v1.6 INTERFACE

The interactive console provides deep command intelligence for targeting sessions.

Goal	Command
Identify Targets	`list`
Lock Session	`use <HEAD-ID>`
Live Tracking	`location start`
Ambient Audio	`record start`
Remote Shell	`shell "cat /etc/passwd"`

🔧 FIELD TROUBLESHOOTING

🎙 Desktop Audio “SUSPENDED” Fix

If recording returns 0 samples on Arch/Pipewire, force the hardware node active:

pactl set-source-mute alsa_input.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo 0
pactl list short sources

🌍 GPS Simulation

For testing on static emulators, force coordinate updates via ADB:

adb emu geo fix -31.4167 -64.1833
