Rat/C2/Botnet/Distributed Computing… Sure there are differences, but they all share common attributes and functionality. In an effort to create a new distributed computing tool for pentesting, we created a fairly functional generic tool that comprises the most common functions of all of these. What to see what it is and how we developed it? We will be covering everything, in general terms, from the basics of Master/Slave processing and communication to coding up a final solution in Python. If you are interested, please stop by.
