PoshC2 is an open-source C2 framework used by penetration testers and threat actors. It can\r\ngenerate a Powershell-based implant, a C#.NET implant that we analyze in this paper, and a\r\nPython3 implant. The malware retrieves the current Windows user, the network domain name\r\nassociated with the current user, the computer name, the processor architecture, the current\r\nprocess name and id, and the path of the Windows directory. The network communication is\r\nencrypted using the AES algorithm with a hard-coded key that can be changed by the C2\r\nserver. The C# implant can load and execute modules in memory without touching the disk by\r\nusing multiple commands. It can perform post-exploitation activities by loading tools such as\r\nSharpHound, Rubeus, SharpView, and Seatbelt.
