Post-Exploitation Insights: Dynamic Analysis of C2 Frameworks

Recognizing and reducing the risks presented by malevolent actors in the realm of cyber security requires an awareness of post exploitation techniques. However, deThe study investigates post operational challenges through a dynamic analysis of command-and-control frameworks (C2) fenders are finding it difficult to keep up with the rapid development of C2 frameworks. Using the MITRE ATT&CK framework as a guide, this study explores a popular C2 server: Metasploit. Through extensive research, deployment, and exploitation in a controlled environment, the strengths and weaknesses of each framework are assessed. Key metrics such as ease of installation, performance, security features, and community support are carefully researched to provide comprehensive insights. In addition, the project explores future frontiers by identifying potential modules that can enhance the capabilities of the selected C2 framework. By offering a detailed analysis, this study helps to understand the importance of the C2 frameworks in cyber security and provides valuable insights for security practitioners and researchers.
