client

Overview

Main command-line client for interacting with and administering Sliver servers. Provides the Cobra entrypoint and aggregates console, command, and transport subsystems.

Go Files

• main.go – Entry point that initializes the CLI, processes flags, and launches the interactive console.

Sub-packages

• assets/ – Manages embedded client asset manifests such as operator profiles, settings, and armory catalogs. Handles serialization, bundling, and lookup of static client metadata.
• cli/ – Defines the Cobra root command and CLI initialization for the Sliver client binary. Sets up persistent flags, environment bootstrapping, and command wiring.
• command/ – Shared registration glue, scaffolding, and helpers for Sliver client console command groups. Hosts common utilities for binding Cobra commands to RPC-backed actions.
• console/ – Renders the interactive console UI, logging, and terminal helpers for the client. Coordinates readline behavior, prompt styling, and message formatting.
• constants/ – Centralizes constants shared across the client runtime and command packages. Captures strings, flag names, and feature toggles used throughout the CLI.
• core/ – Maintains client application state, background workers, and RPC coordination. Orchestrates session tracking, event streams, and health checks.
• credentials/ – Credential management utilities including sniffers and import helpers for operators. Provides parsers, storage helpers, and output formatting for recovered secrets.
• licenses/ – Holds embedded license metadata bundled with the client distribution. Supplies license retrieval utilities used for attribution commands.
• overlord/ – Supervises long-running client jobs, scheduling, and task orchestration. Tracks job lifecycle events and exposes status updates to the console.
• packages/ – Deals with packaged extensions and module discovery for the client. Scans, validates, and caches extension manifests and assets.
• spin/ – Lightweight terminal spinner utilities used for progress feedback. Wraps spinner styles and timing helpers shared across commands.
• tcpproxy/ – Implements the local TCP proxy used for port forwarding from the client side. Manages listener lifecycles, connection pumps, and cleanup hooks.
• transport/ – Client-side transports and RPC wiring to communicate with Sliver servers. Builds authenticated gRPC clients, TLS dialers, and reconnect logic.
• version/ – Build-time version and semantic metadata for the client binary. Exposes git information, release channels, and helper formatters.
