A Novel Post Exploitation Framework for Red Team Operations - Buzzard

The paper proposes a novel, all-encompassing, real-time surveillance framework meticulously crafted to function as an advanced post-exploitation tool, facilitating command and control (C2) operations and named Buzzard. Its innovative design allows it to operate independently of a centralized or intermediary redirecting server, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and security. At its core, Buzzard is conceptualized as a specialized C2 Server, strategically eschewing the reliance on a central server. This is achieved through the sophisticated tunneling of local ports, which is further secured by the implementation of encrypted tunnels. This method not only significantly reduces latency, thereby ensuring swift and efficient data transmission, but also substantially elevates the security measures, safeguarding against potential vulnerabilities and threats. Through this approach, Buzzard sets a new standard in the realm of cybersecurity tools, offering a robust, secure, and highly responsive solution for managing post-exploitation activities.
