Appendix I: Tasker
The Tasker generates the task files used to command the Assassin Implant. The
Tasker provides a custom command line interface for creating task files. The Collide
Handler provides a similar user interface for task generation and is the preferred
method for tasking Assassin.
When provided an Implant receipt, the Tasker will create encrypted implant-ready
tasking files; without a receipt, the tool generates an unencrypted tasking file that
may be reused as a template and encrypted later using the Crypto Tool.
The Tasker requires the Assassin Python module, named ‘assassin’. The module
must be located in the Python search path, which includes the directory with the
task_creator.py script.
