Download large files from targets (beacon)

[cezamee]

hello,

It seems that downloading files of a few kilobytes poses no issue, however, when it comes to larger files (several megabytes), it doesn't work.
How about debugging the issue? it could be a latency issue ?
(tried increasing the command timeout)

edit: tried in session mode, look's like implant timeout

So the limit should* be 2GB - 1 byte but you may need to increase the command's timeout as the timeout is applied to the amount of time the command takes to execute and we currently don't have a mechanism to defer this timeout based on "no activity" so if the file isn't downloaded in less than the timeout of the command even if it's in progress it'll still timeout.

We'll likely re-write the way downloads work in a future version to avoid this issue, but this is how it works today.

I have to admit that it sounds pretty good to add a "hearthbeat" parameter that would allow you, like rabbitMQ / Redis, to know if there's any activity before considering it as timeout.
