What is it?
What is it?
Cobalt Strike is a commercial attack simulation tool designed for cybersecurity professionals to conduct Adversary Simulation and Red Team operations. Its main purpose is to test an organization's security operations and incident response capabilities with realistic attack scenarios that mimic advanced threat actors.
Main Purposes of Use
Cobalt Strike is a Red Team and Adversary Simulation tool for cyber security professionals. Its main purpose is to test corporate defense mechanisms by simulating advanced threat actors. More than just penetration testing, it focuses on the post-exploitation phases after the system has been infiltrated. These phases include critical actions such as lateral movement, persistence establishment and data collection, thus measuring the readiness of security teams.
Security for Red Team Operations
Why is it important?
Cobalt Strike is the ideal software for Adversary Simulation and Red Team operations. It simulates attacks by testing the defense systems in your network with post-exploitation agents, secret communication channels and flexible Command and Control infrastructure. With browser pivoting, intelligence gathering and detailed reporting features, it provides realistic attack scenarios to your security teams.
Why It Matters
Cobalt Strike emulates advanced threat actors, allowing you to test your Red Team operations with real attack scenarios.
Key Features
Browser Pivoting
Browser Pivoting, once a target system is compromised, offers forms of attack such as stealing / redirecting the target's authorized web sessions (man-in-the-browser-type).
Advanced Adversary Simulation
Advanced Adversary Simulation, Asynchronous ("low and slow") communication, flexible Command-and-Control / C2 language to change network indicators, interfere with normal traffic, work without leaving traces.
Community Kit
The Community Kit offers the possibility to extend the Cobalt Strike experience through extensions and modules developed by the user community.
Intelligence Gathering
Intelligence Gathering enables the detection of details such as the target's internal IP address, number of applications, plugin and version information through System Profiler.
