This blog post accompanies a new addition to the Arsenal Kit – The User-Defined Reflective Loader Visual Studio (UDRL-VS). Over the past few months, we have received a lot of feedback from our users that whilst the flexibility of the UDRL is great, there is not enough information/example code to get the most out of […]

This blog introduces a PoC technique for spoofing call stacks using timers. Prior to our implant sleeping, we can queue up timers to overwrite its call stack with a fake one and then restore the original before resuming execution. Hence, in the same way we can mask memory belonging to our implant during sleep, we […]

Cobalt Strike 4.7.2 is now available. This is an out of band update to fix a remote code execution vulnerability that is rooted in Java Swing but which can be exploited in Cobalt Strike. Remote Code Execution Vulnerability I’d like to start by giving credit to Rio Sherri (0x09AL) and Ruben Boonen (FuzzySec) from the […]
Cobalt Strike 4.7.1 is now available. This is an out of band update to fix an issue discovered in the 4.7 release that was reported to be impacting users, and for which there was no workaround. We also took the opportunity to address a vulnerability that was reported shortly after the 4.7 release, along with […]

We’re also acutely aware of Cobalt Strike’s limitations when it comes to EDR […]
Things are moving in the Cobalt Strike world…And they are moving… FAST. When I started my position with the Cobalt Strike team, I got to meet the team in person in the head office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.I can’t say much yet, but the team has been cooking up some cool stuff coming into the […]
