Technical support - New employee Vishing: - Cold calling - IVR system abuse - Caller ID spoofing - Conference call hijacking ``` ## Infrastructure Setup ### C2 Architecture ```yaml Infrastructure: - Domain registration - SSL certificates - Redirectors - Cloud providers - CDN abuse - Proxy chains Tools: - Cobalt Strike - Empire - Metasploit - Covenant - PoshC2 - Sliver - Custom implants Protocols: - HTTP/HTTPS - DNS - ICMP - SMB - WMI - SSH tunneling ``` ## Evasion Techniques ### Anti-Detection ```bash # Process Injection - Process Hollowing - Thread Hijacking - APC Injection - SetWindowsHook - Reflective DLL # Anti-Analysis - Packing/Crypting - Code obfuscation - String encryption - API hashing - Control flow flattening # Anti-Forensics - Timestomping - Log deletion - MFT manipulation - USN journal bypass - Memory-only operations ``` ## Operational Security ### OPSEC Principles - ✅ Use dedicated attack infrastructure - ✅ Implement kill switches in tools - ✅ Encrypt all communications - ✅ Use VPN/Tor for anonymity - ✅ Separate environments for operations - ✅ Regular infrastructure rotation - ✅ Minimal attribution artifacts - ✅ Time-based operational windows ### Rules of Engagement - ❌ Never exceed authorized scope - ❌ No destructive actions without approval - ❌ Avoid production impact - ❌ No data exfiltration without encryption - ❌ Stop if detecting Blue Team response - ❌ No lateral movement to out-of-scope systems ## Reporting Structure ### Attack Narrative ```markdown # Operation Summary - Objectives achieved - Attack path visualization -
