Tor Network C2 Network Evasion
Tor is a free and open-source network that enables anonymous communication. It uses a network of volunteer-operated servers, known as "relays," to route internet traffic in a way that conceals the user's location and usage from surveillance and traffic analysis. By routing traffic through multiple relays, Tor makes it difficult to trace internet activity back to the user.

To carry out DNS tunneling, the attacker typically needs access to a compromised system …
Peer to peer C2 Network Evasion
Peer-to-peer (P2P) botnets are a type of botnet that uses a decentralized network structure, without a central command and control (C&C) server. Each infected machine in a P2P botnet maintains a list of other trusted computers (including other infected machines), as well as information drop locations and locations where the malware can be updated. Some P2P botnets also use encryption …
Unloading Sysmon Driver Anti-Monitoring
Sysmon is a tool that can be used to monitor system activity on Windows systems. It records various types of events, such as process creation, network connections, and registry changes, and stores them in the Windows Event Log. Security analysts can use this information to detect and investigate malicious activity on a system.
One way that malware can evade detection …
