Operator Setup & CLI Cheat-Sheet

This section covers the configuration required on the analyst’s laptop to establish a secure connection to the remote server daemon, followed by a cheat-sheet of essential execution commands.

1. Client Installation

The universal client binary is installed locally on the analyst’s laptop using the official deployment script:

$ curl -s [https://sliver.sh/install](https://sliver.sh/install) | sudo bash

2. Cryptographic Profile Transfer & Import

Traditional password authentication is not supported by Sliver. All control sessions are authenticated via strict mutual TLS (mTLS).

  1. Secure Copy (SCP): Download the operator certificate profile generated by the server over the secure Tailscale VPN connection:
$ scp _your_name@_your_ip:/tmp/meinlaptop.cfg ~/Downloads/
  1. Profile Import: Register the configuration profile within your local client data store:
$ sliver-client import ~/Downloads/meinlaptop.cfg
  1. Establish Connection: Launch the interactive console. The client will automatically read the imported certificates and open an encrypted control tunnel to the server:
$ sliver-client
