Analyze Cobalt Strike communication profiles and Beacon payload configurations to extract request paths, headers, timing, and process injection settings. Turn these indicators into a JSON report and network detection rules for Suricata or Snort.
Parse and analyze Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 profiles with dissect.cobaltstrike (profiles and beacon-payload configs) and pyMalleableC2 (AST parsing) to extract HTTP/DNS transforms, URIs, headers, sleep/jitter, and injection behavior, then generate network detection signatures. Use when reverse-engineering a captured malleable profile or building detections against Cobalt Strike Beacon traffic.

Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 profiles are domain-specific language scripts that customize how Beacon communicates with the team server, defining HTTP request/response transformations, sleep intervals, jitter values, user agents, URI paths, and process injection behavior. Threat actors use malleable profiles to disguise C2 traffic as legitimate services (Amazon, Google, Slack). Analyzing these profiles reveals network indicators for detection: URI patterns, HTTP headers, POST/GET transforms, DNS settings, and process injection techniques. The dissect.cobaltstrike library can parse both profile files and extract configurations from beacon payloads, while pyMalleableC2 provides AST-based parsing using Lark grammar for programmatic profile manipulation and validation.
