What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to set up the internet-facing relay servers used in red-team exercises, called C2 redirectors, which sit between simulated malware (implants) and a hidden team server. Once installed, the agent can write nginx and Apache configuration, socat or iptables forwarding rules, and generated filter rules that pass only traffic matching a Malleable C2 profile while sending everything else to a decoy website. It also covers Let's Encrypt TLS setup and OPSEC tactics such as domain fronting and User-Agent filtering, and it includes a Python script that generates an nginx config from URI patterns and a User-Agent.

Great for

  • Red-team operators building authorized adversary-emulation infrastructure
  • Blue-team defenders learning how external-proxy C2 (T1090.002) is constructed so they can detect it
  • Students studying offensive infrastructure design in a supervised lab

Skip it if

  • Anyone without written authorization and an agreed scope: deploying redirectors to control systems you are not permitted to test is illegal and harmful
  • General web server or reverse-proxy work, since the skill is oriented toward evading defenders rather than standard hosting

Try asking

  • “Write an nginx filtering redirector config that proxies only URIs matching my Malleable C2 profile to my team server at 10.0.0.2”
  • “Generate Apache mod_rewrite rules with a 302 decoy fallback for a Cobalt Strike profile”
  • “Set up a socat dumb-pipe forward from port 443 to my team server and firewall the team server to accept only the redirector IP”
  • “Use the generator script to create an nginx config from a list of URIs and an implant User-Agent”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide the exact Malleable C2 profile URIs and User-Agent so generated filters match the implant; mismatched rules break beacons.
  • Keep the team server firewalled to the redirector IP and review the generated configs before deploying them.
  • Only use this in an authorized engagement with signed rules of engagement, and decommission the infrastructure afterward.
