Transport Types

You can select from a few different transport types for the Sliver Server to use when communicating with its implants or beacons.

Transport	Description
mTLS	Mutual TLS transport which requires certificates. Command: mtls --lport 443.
HTTP	Basic HTTP transport. Communications are still encrypted with this transport. Command: http.
HTTPS	Basic HTTPS transport. Communications are encrypted and uses TCP port 443. Command: https.
DNS	Traffic is disguised as dns and uses port 53. Command: dns.
WireGuard	A UDP VPN. Command: wg.

For obvious reasons, be sure that the port selected is not already in use.

You can see the transports that are running and the port they use by running the jobs command on either the server or client.

[server] sliver > jobs

 ID   Name    Protocol   Port    Stage Profile
==== ======= ========== ======= ===============
 1    grpc    tcp        31337
 2    https   tcp        443
 3    http    tcp        80

If you want to stop a transport job and free up the port, run the jobs -k <id> command. In the example below, we kill off job #3 which is the HTTP transport on TCP port 80:

sliver > jobs -k 3

[*] Killing job #3 ...
[*] Successfully killed job #3

[!] Job #3 stopped (tcp/http)

[!] Job #3 stopped (tcp/http)
