​
Where are they?

All installed docker containers are located at Mythic/InstalledServices/each with their own folder. The currently running ones can be checked with the sudo ./mythic-cli status . Check A note about containers for more information about them.

​
Why use containers?

Containers allow Mythic to have each Payload Type establish its own operating environment for payload creation without causing conflicting or unnecessary requirements on the host system.

​
When do containers come into play?

Payload Type containers only come into play for a few special scenarios:
  • Payload Creation
  • Tasking
  • Processing Responses
For more information on editing or creating new containers for payload types, see Payload Type Development.
