What is Command and Control (C2)?
C2 channels allow attackers to maintain persistent access to victim networks, deploy additional payloads, and exfiltrate data. Modern C2 frameworks often disguise their traffic as legitimate web requests to evade detection.
Understanding this concept is crucial for maintaining a robust security posture. In the context of modern cyber threats, command and control (c2) represents a significant area of focus for security professionals and organizations alike.
