Cobalt Strike | Malware Analysis Summary | Penetration Testing Tool | Malicious

This is a video summarising the malware analysis of Cobalt Strike. Cobalt Strike is a penetration testing tool but in the wrong hands can become a malicious program. The video includes a look at a sample file where a malicious French domain was used to drop and communicate between a target and a control server via Cobalt Strike. Cobalt Strike is commonly used as a dropper by threat actors. It is used to drop info stealers and ransomware onto target devices. Threat actors will target businesses and organisations.

Cobalt Strike is used by the notorious Chinese hackers Double Dragon. This hacker group are cybercriminals who also work for their government.
