[TUT] Beginners Guide to Set Up a Cerberus Server [TUT]*

Not my tut, credit is due to Pillus

The download for Cerberus 1.03.4 Beta is here : Cerberus.rar

The above download was posted by ME. I can honestly say its safe. This download, posted by "thecad", I cannot say because I have NOT tested. Use at risk, but there are 5 hosts to download it from here. Cerberus Mirrors


I have seen some people requesting a simple cerberus howto guide, so here it is

What do we need to do before we are starting to set up cerberus?
First, we want to have a dyndns account. Go to http://www.dyndns.com/ and register yourself (Yes i know people often use no-ip instead, but i like DynDns better )

When you have registered yourself and logged in, we need to go to "add host services"

Spoiler (Click to View)

Here you just need to fill in your hostname of your choice (what the url is gonna be), Choose Host with IP address, fill in your IP address, and press add to cart.
This feature is free, so just press NEXT and press Activate Services on the next page.

So now you have your own free domain!

Next is you need to forward your port (if you are behind a router)
Go to www.portforward.com and check out the guide for your router.
We are going to use port 13243 in this guide, but it is up to you what port you want to use. The reason i choose a portnumber so high is that other programs normaly don't use this.

Okay, now we are done with everything we need to do before setting up cerberus, i would also recommend turning of both firewall and antivirus while doing this so you don't get any interuptions etc.

------

First of lets grab the newest version of cerberus in the Official Releases section It's packed with winrar, so download winrar at www.rarlabs.com if you have any problems unpacking it

When all is done, let's open cerberus and get started.

Here we start with

Basic Options
[img]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9630/basick.jpg[/img]

Here you fill out the hostname you choosed at dyndns.org, your password that you want your server to use and a name (ID). Also remember to change the port like in this picture. That is very important! ^^


Next up is the

Server Installation
[img]http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/6747/serverinst.jpg[/img]

Here you will tell cerberus where to install itself and its name, you can ofcourse choose whatever you want on these settings, but i like to install it in the windows directory.


Next up is the

Boot Method
[img]http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/7056/bootg.jpg[/img]

Here i am telling cerberus to start up in registry, this is an easy way to make cerberus start up after the computer that the server is installed on reboot's. I also choosed Active Setup to bypass some AV's.


Next up is the

Add file
[img]http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5723/addfile.jpg[/img]

Since this is a beginner set up i am going to leave this blank for now. But if you want to add your own files that also is going to start with cerberus, this is the place to go, but lets leave this blank for now


Next up is the

Anti Debug
[img]http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5513/debugw.jpg[/img]

Here i am leaving this blank for now, since i am testing on a VMware later on. But normaly you would want to check all of this, so it wont get detected by sandboxes etc


Next up is the

Misc. Options
[img]http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8043/miscr.jpg[/img]

Here i turned on keylogging and configured it to log everything to "database.dat"
I also choosed some stealth options to keep the files hidden, but most important i changed the process i wanted cerberus to inject into, since i think IE process is crashing to much and that is something we don't want ^_^


Next up is the

Display Message
[img]http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2172/displayyxk.jpg[/img]

If you want cerberus to display any error messages this is the place to configure it, and i think most of these things describe itself I will leave this alone as i want cerberus to just run in the background.


Next up is the

Black List
[img]http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9358/blacklist.jpg[/img]

Here you can choose what processes you want cerberus to try to kill when it gets executed, like antivirus processes or special programs. I haven't tested this myself so use it at your own risk .


Next up is

Create Server
[img]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3480/createh.jpg[/img]

Here you will choose the name of the file and what type of file it will be.
I also set it up to run in visible mode, so the user KNOW that cerberus runs on the computer. Normal AntiVirus'es also sees files compressed with UPX as suspicious, so i rather not use it.


When you have choosed all you want to use, press CREATE SERVER.

Then your server will appear in your cerberus folder. If you want now, you can doubleclick it to see if it works.

If you want to add more to this tutorial, or something is wrong, dont hesitate to send me a quick PM with it and i will see what i can do
nice, good tutorial.
thanks man =] not mine but it is a good tut
Very very good rat 🤝
and after that you just spread to people or what?
NICE tutorial ! :D i love cerberus :D
Sweet tutorial thanks, but just a quick question. Do you need to enable port forwarding for cerabus, or not. Because it would be great if we don't (I dont really want to), but if you do, I would add that up top.

Thanks again!

Yes. lol

To the others, thanks 🤝
What do i make the DNS? like .dyndns.biz or what?
My fucking luck.. I went to the port forwarding site and i went under Belkin and they didn't have mine. My model number was F5D7050
Can someone please help me try to port forward this thing? Iv had several other people try to and no one seem to be able to do it. Can someone please help me with like MSN remote control or something?
Do we have to get the victims Ip?
Great tutorial For a Great Rat.

Negative, just infect them with the rat and you'll have their IP afterwards lol

Well, when you run with sandboxie isnt it supposed to NOT work?

Try running it without sandboxie to see if it works, or am i getting ur question wrong?
