Sandworm: C2 over HTTP Emulation Lab
In this lab you’ll practice establishing command and control communications with a victim environment using a previously established web shell. You’ll configure command and control communication over HTTP so that it blends in with regular network traffic, which will help you to avoid detection. When you're finished, you’ll understand how Advanced Persistent Threats such as Sandworm are able to control victim environments without getting caught, which will allow you to test your own organization’s defenses.
