C4
Cyberdelia, a Collection of Command and Control frameworks
Table of Contents
What is this?
This is a very fluid (as in continuously changing) github repo that will do comparisons of prominent Command and Control (C2) frameworks in the red team/pentesting industry.
Cyberdelia?
Cyberdelia is a place from the movie Hackers that all the main actors would go to meetup and hangout. While there, they would trade tips, tricks, and knowledge about their trade, which is what I hope this repo will be.
What is a C2 (framework)?
Rather than try and explain everything about what a C2 is, just checkout this YouTube video. @monoxgas gives an in depth explaination about what a C2 is and what it should do during his talk Flying a False Flag
Why create this repo?
For a long time Powershell Empire was known as the standard for open-source C2 frameworks, and since they have now discontinued the project this repo will be a landing for others to keep track of new frameworks.
Format
note: for a comprehensive list of all the C2 frameworks we will cover here please visit the frameworks folder.
This format/layout is absolutly subject to change, and if you think there is a better way to present this content please message me in the Professionally Evil Slack. I am gathering all this information to try and help compare and contrast the strong and weak points of different C2 frameworks, so whatever helps the presentation of that material the better! This repo will try to have releases, to better help solidfy when content is better solidified for consumtion, but it will not have Development Stages (i.e. alpha, beta, etc...) in release tags since the information is constantly evolving (unless someone thinks it should, and tell me how they think it should work).
Plan for this repo
Hopefully this repo can be similar to an awesome list, but be better in that we can aggregate video reviews of C2 frameworks, comparison points, and best use cases for when to use specific C2 frameworks. Currently the plan will be that I get the current list of C2 frameworks figured out for a v0.1.0 release, and I would love community help in making sure all information is accurate and informative!
