🎯 What You'll Learn
- Stand up a C2 server and listeners
- Generate and deploy implants
- Operate sessions and tasking
- Run an AD attack chain over C2
Overview
C2 frameworks coordinate a red-team operation. Using Sliver, you generate implants, manage sessions and run the attack chain from foothold to domain access in a lab environment.
Core Topics
- C2 architecture
- Implant generation
- Session operations
- OpSec basics
Prerequisites
A working KaliRange lab environment and comfort with the Linux command line.
Recommended Workflow
- Spin up the target in your KaliRange lab environment and confirm connectivity.
- Enumerate the target thoroughly before touching any exploit — information first.
- Reproduce each technique by hand so you understand why it works, not just the command.
- Capture evidence (commands, output, screenshots) as you go.
- Write a short note on how a defender would detect or prevent what you just did.
Only ever run these techniques against systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. Practise inside your own KaliRange lab.
Your Goal
Work through every task in your own lab, document your findings as you would on a real engagement, then note the defensive takeaways.
