Export configuration

You can export the current configuration by clicking the Export button at the bottom of the configuration page. This will save the configuration to a file, which you can later import. The configuration file may contain plaintext or encrypted data. If your configuration contains any sensitive data, such as usernames and passwords, you can choose a password during the export that will be used to encrypt the file.

🚧

Don't lose your password

Make sure that you don't lose your password. The data in encrypted configuration files cannot be recovered if the password is lost.

Import configuration

You can import a configuration file by clicking the Import button at the bottom of the configuration page. You will be prompted to enter the password if the configuration file is encrypted.

Notes:

• Configuration files that were exported from older versions of Infection Monkey cannot necessarily be imported into newer versions.
• If a configuration file enables plugins (e.g. exploiters or payloads) that are not installed, the Monkey Island will refuse to import it. You can install plugins on the plugin installation page.
