Encoders are intended to encode payloads, evade malware detection techniques or obfuscate code. After deciding what your encoder should do, take this template and edit it for your needs.

        return self.payload

Note: Every encoder should inherit from the Encoder class (hatsploit.lib.encoder). If this inheritance is missing, the encoder will not be loaded properly by HatSploit.

Encoder architecture (Arch)

Encoder architecture defined the payload architecture that is compatible with this encoder. For payload to work with your encoder, it should have the exact same architecture. For now, HatSploit encoders may accept these architectures:

• ARCH_X64 - x86_64 CPU little-endian
• ARCH_X86 - x86 (i386, i486, i686) little-endian
• ARCH_AARCH64 - Aarch64 (arm64) little-endian
• ARCH_MIPSLE - MIPS 32-bit little-endian
• ARCH_MIPSBE - MIPS 32-bit
• ARCH_ARMLE
• ARCH_ARMBE

Encoder options

You can add options to the encoder, read about them here.

Examples and Best Practices

If you are new to writing encoders for HatSploit, it is highly recommended that you review existing encoders in the main repository. These existing encoders can serve as valuable references for understanding the structure and functionality of encoders within the framework.

We encourage you to explore these resources and learn from them before developing new encoders. This practice will help you follow consistent patterns and ensure the best integration with HatSploit’s functionality.
