Command and Control with WebSockets WSC2

This Black Hills InfoSec post demonstrates using WSC2 to establish a WebSocket-based command-and-control channel: configuring the controller, generating and executing a PowerShell one‑liner stager to obtain agent callbacks, and using an IE/Edge COM-based technique to make agent network traffic appear as IEXPLORE.EXE. The write-up shows Burp Suite captures of the HTTP->WebSocket upgrade and messages, highlights the agent's basic file transfer and shell capabilities, and discusses implications for penetration testers, red teams, and defenders regarding detection and monitoring of WebSocket C2.
