What does the Code Execution module do in Empire?

• A. Encrypts interim results
• B. Logs keystrokes
• C. Scans network ports
• D. Injects Empire agent into other running processes

Answer: (D)

The Code Execution module is about running code on the target by loading and executing payloads inside an existing process, often by injecting the Empire agent into a running process. This approach lets the agent run with the permissions of that process and can improve stealth by avoiding a separate conspicuous process. It’s not about encrypting results, keystroke logging, or port scanning, which are separate capabilities.
