Wild West Hackin' Fest - Deadwood 2024

Lurking means to wait or move in a secret way so that you cannot be seen. On a red team or assumed breach operation, our success hinges on how our implants communicate with us. The way these communications happen - how fast, how often, and how much data is exchanged - is key to realistically mimicking cyber attackers. In this talk, I'll break down the essentials of choosing a Command and Control (C2) channel and share some clever tactics and commonly used services that help us stay under the radar and gain the upper hand in our target's environment. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at the stealthy side of cybersecurity.
