Cobalt Strike v4.3 - Advanced Threat Tactics Software
=============================================================================
*** https://www.cobaltstrike.com ***
1. What is Cobalt Strike?
----------------------
Cobalt Strike is software for Adversary Simulations and Red Team Operations.
Adversary Simulations and Red Team Operations are security assessments that
replicate the tactics and techniques of an advanced adversary in a network.
While penetration tests focus on unpatched vulnerabilities and
misconfigurations, these assessments benefit security operations and incident
response.
Cobalt Strike gives you a post-exploitation agent and covert channels to
emulate a quiet long-term embedded actor in your customer's network.
Malleable C2 lets you change your network indicators to look like different
malware each time. These tools complement Cobalt Strike's solid social
engineering process, its robust collaboration capability, and unique reports
designed to aid blue team training.
