Introduction AI is changing how red teams work, and it’s an open question how far that goes. On the one hand, there is a future where we let an AI loose with a prompt like, ‘hack this environment like APT29.’ On the other, red teaming often involves access into core production systems where there is […]

Introduction This talk will demonstrate how to use Crystal Palace to rapidly develop novel PIC tradecraft/capabilities and immediately deploy them in Cobalt Strike. It will cover novel UDRLs, async BOFs, and async BOF-PEs, and show how Crystal Palace has dramatically lowered the bar for developing novel evasive tradecraft. […]

Introduction This presentation traces the evolution of post-exploitation tradecraft, from executable files and reflective DLLs to in-memory techniques designed to balance capability, developer usability, and operational security. Pieter and Chris examine how detection risks associated with files on disk, PowerShell, foreground execution, and sacrificial processes influenced the development of Beacon Object Files and newer Cobalt […]

Introduction Traditional C2 frameworks often present operators with streams of raw command output spread across multiple implants, making it difficult to retain context, revisit earlier findings, or quickly understand what happened during a long-running engagement. This presentation explores how a C2 teamserver can move beyond unstructured logs by parsing operational data into a searchable, machine-readable […]

Introduction While common macOS applications are protected by the hardened runtime, shellcode execution is often still possible because of various entitlements permitting unsigned executable memory. As more applications transition to using the more-restrictive “allow-jit” entitlement, previous execution techniques are rendered ineffective. Execution In this presentation, the speaker examines macOS JIT internals and evaluates public documentation […]
