RST C2 Tracker

RST Cloud’s C2 tracking mechanism provides unparalleled visibility into Command and Control (C2) resources. Alongside aggregating data from a wide range of CTI sources, which derive insights from Censys Search and Shodan, RST Cloud uses specialised RST C2 Tracker tools developed in collaboration with our strategic partner, Netlas.io. Leveraging Netlas.IO’s advanced Internet Scan technology, we have crafted targeted scanning tasks to detect and monitor active C2 servers worldwide in real time.

RST Cloud C2 Tracker

Broad C2 Coverage

Our C2 Tracker offers critical insights into various sophisticated malware and C2 frameworks. With continuous updates, the tracker monitors C2 activities across a range of threats, including:

  • Stealers and RATs: Meduza Stealer, Orcus RAT, AsyncRAT, VenomRAT, DcRat, Quasar RAT, Power Stealer, VIPER RAT, etc.
  • C2 Frameworks: CobaltStrike, Mythic, Covenant, Havoc, Hookbot, PoshC2, Supershell, Caldera, Gophish, Deimos C2, Brute Ratel C4, ShadowPad C2, Metasploit C2 framework, etc.
  • Botnets and Ransomware: Jasmin Ransomware, Ermac Botnet, Mozi Botnet, Gh0st RAT, Pantegana RAT, Hookbot variants, etc.

 

Integrated Threat Intelligence

The information gathered on active C2 servers is seamlessly incorporated into our RST Threat Feed and RST IoC Lookup database, tagged with corresponding references, tags, and malware names for quick identification. This integration enables our clients to promptly detect and block connections to C2 servers, significantly enhancing their cybersecurity defences.

With real-time, comprehensive C2 tracking, RST Cloud empowers organisations to proactively defend against malware, botnets, and other advanced cyber threats, ensuring robust protection across global networks.

 

Use Cases of RST C2 Tracker

1. Proactive Threat Hunting

  • Identify and monitor active C2 servers used by sophisticated malware, botnets, and ransomware in real time.
  • Enable cybersecurity teams to uncover potential threats before they can execute attacks on their network.
  • Use the data to pivot on new finding to expand your team's knowledge.

2. Incident Response and Forensics

  • Quickly pinpoint malicious C2 connections during an active cyber incident to contain and mitigate the threat.
  • Leverage historical data from the RST IoC Lookup database for post-incident investigations.
  • Use tagged references and malware associations to streamline forensic analysis.

3. Blocking Malicious Infrastructure

  • Integrate real-time C2 data into firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to automatically block C2 communications.
  • Prevent data exfiltration and lateral movement by disrupting attacker-controlled communication channels.

4. Supporting Compliance and Risk Management

  • Demonstrate compliance with cybersecurity frameworks by actively tracking and neutralizing C2 threats.
  • Use reports generated from the tracker to assess and document risk levels for audits and regulatory requirements.

5. Training and Simulation for Cyber Defense

  • Leverage the detailed insights into C2 frameworks to design realistic training scenarios for security teams.
  • Simulate advanced attacks based on real-world C2 infrastructure to prepare for potential threats.
