Payload Compatibility

This page summarizes implant payload format compatibility by target OS/architecture (GOOS/GOARCH).

Common Platforms

Target OS/Arch	Executable	Shared Library	Shellcode	Service
`windows/386`	✅	✅	✅	✅
`windows/amd64`	✅	✅	✅	✅
`windows/arm64`	⚠️	⚠️	❌	⚠️
`linux/386`	✅	✅	❌	N/A
`linux/amd64`	✅	✅	✅	N/A
`linux/arm64`	✅	✅	✅	N/A
`darwin/amd64`	✅	✅	❌	N/A
`darwin/arm64`	✅	✅	✅	N/A

Important Notes

✅ = first-class support in Sliver's built-in target matrix.
⚠️ = generic/experimental target (not first-class; may fail depending on toolchain/target).
❌ = not currently supported for that payload format.
Service is a Windows-only format.
Shellcode is currently supported for windows/{386,amd64}, linux/{amd64,arm64}, and darwin/arm64.
Shellcode and Shared Library for MacOS may require a cross-compiler or an external builder depending on your platform.
On macOS hosts, targeting linux/386 for shared library/shellcode builds is currently not reliable.

Use generate info in the Sliver console to see what your current server can build with its configured toolchains.
