A Python C2 (Command and Control) server is a critical component in establishing communication and control between a remote attacker and compromised systems. The features of a Python C2 server typically include functionalities like command execution, file transfer, keylogging, screen capturing, password cracking, and data exfiltration. These servers are designed to be stealthy and undetectable, employing techniques such as encryption, polymorphism, and anti-virtual machine measures to avoid detection by security solutions. They can also support multiple communication protocols like HTTP(S), DNS, or even covert channels to bypass network monitoring. The flexibility of Python as a programming language allows the C2 server to be easily customized and extended, making it a preferred choice for malicious actors seeking total control over compromised systems.
