Workshop: Command & Conquer: A hands-on C2 primer for aspiring Red & Blue teamers
Workshops are first-come, first-serve and have limited capacity. Some workshops may be streamed for additional passive participation.
Command & Control (C2) is the backbone of modern offensive operations - and one of the most reliable detection opportunities for blue teams.
This hands-on workshop provides a unified view of C2 fundamentals for both offensive and defensive practitioners. Using the open-source Mythic framework, participants will deploy agents, handle callbacks, execute tasking with a focus on opsec, and design real detection logic based on their own generated telemetry.
The session will also cover basic C2 infrastructure design including redirectors and domain fronting, an overview of Mythic agent feature sets, and a high-level comparative analysis of major C2 frameworks used in industry today. Students should leave armed with practical introductory experience operating and detecting C2 activity across multiple platforms.
