NECCDC Red Team: Quick DNS Command and Control (C2) Trojan
Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in the Northeast Cyber Collegiate Defense Competition (NECCDC) at the University of Maine. The competition was made up of 10 student groups (blue teams) from various colleges in the region that were tasked with protecting a mock network against a group of professional pentesters (the red team) who were trying to break in. This was my third year on the red team. Prior to the competition, I built several tools that would make life easier for the red team and enable us to differentiate between the qualities of the blue teams we were attacking. I am planning to release the code that I built for the competition over the next few months in a series of blog posts.
