C2 Frameworks

Every command-and-control framework solves the same problem the same way: an implant that sleeps, wakes, checks in, runs queued tasks, and goes quiet again. What separates Cobalt Strike, Sliver, Mythic and Havoc is everything around that loop — cost, language and platform reach, how far you can bend the traffic, and how loud each is to a modern EDR. Here is the shared machinery, an honest head-to-head, how profiles dress a beacon as web traffic, and how the blue team catches it.
