Beaconing: Letâs Dive Deep!>
Medium – Satoshi Lab
Beaconing is a technique used by malware and intrusion detection systems to establish and maintain a persistent connection with a command and control (C2) server. This technique allows attackers to maintain control over compromised systems and receive updates and instructions from the C2 server. In this blog post, we will delve deeper into the topic of beaconing in cyber security, including what it is, how it works, and how to detect and prevent it.

One of the key features of beaconing is that it is designed to evade detection by using a low-frequency communication pattern. This means that the malware will only communicate with the C2 server at specific intervals, rather than constantly transmitting data. Implementing security controls, using a variety of detection tools, having incident response plan, employee awareness training, and continuous monitoring and detection system are essential to detect and prevent beaconing activity. With the ever-evolving cyber threats, itâs important for organizations to stay vigilant and take proactive measures to protect themselves from beaconing and other cyber attacks.
