What Goes Around Comes Back Around - Exploiting Fundamental Weaknesses in Botnet C&C Panels

Explore techniques for exploiting fundamental weaknesses in botnet Command and Control (C&C) panels in this 27-minute Black Hat conference talk. Learn about methodologies for launching reverse attacks on centralized C&C panels to gather intelligence and build automated solutions. Examine real-world case studies demonstrating step-by-step processes for attacking and compromising C&C panels. Discover how to detect vulnerabilities and configuration flaws in remote C&C panels, and understand the use of automated tools for easier testing. Gain insights into C&C panel components, protection mechanisms, attack models, and network traffic analysis. Investigate multiple C&C panel scenarios, installation component checks, and deployment verification techniques. Delve into vulnerability hunting and remote management shells as part of a comprehensive approach to understanding and exploiting botnet infrastructure weaknesses.
