Jackal C2

Overview of Jackal (security agent) command and control (C2).


Overview

Jackal and its corresponding infrastructure for C2 and Data Upload & Exfil, is designed as a minimalist and on-the-fly configurable security agent. It is very lightweight - it has no built-in security capabilities, it self-equips at run time with outside tools (e.g. binaries, Docker containers), or uses Living off the Land (LotL) techniques.

Its architecture is designed to be expanded to use cases and functionality like agent-to-agent relay, ephemeral lifetime, and bespoke data exfil channels, to name a few.
