## Command and Control Communication Analysis

**Overview:**
Threat actors maintain command and control communications to coordinate their activities across compromised systems.

**Key Findings:**
- Use of custom C2 protocols to evade detection by standard network defenses.
- Communication patterns indicate periodic updates and tasking from external servers.
- C2 infrastructure is resilient, leveraging multiple domains and IPs for redundancy.

**Recommendations:**
- Block known C2 domains and IP addresses identified during the investigation.
- Employ network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) to monitor for C2 communication patterns.

**Next Steps:**
Investigate any anti-forensic techniques employed by threat actors to cover their tracks and hinder analysis.
