# Performing Red Team Operations with Covenant C2 ## Overview Covenant is a collaborative .NET C2 framework for red teamers that provides a Swagger-documented REST API for managing listeners, launchers, grunts (agents), and tasks. This skill covers automating Covenant operations through its API for authorized red team engagements: creating HTTP/HTTPS listeners, generating binary and PowerShell launchers, deploying grunts, executing tasks on compromised hosts, and tracking lateral movement. ## When to Use - When conducting security assessments that involve performing red team with covenant - When following incident response procedures for related security events - When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities - When validating security controls through hands-on testing ## Prerequisites - Covenant C2 server deployed (Docker or .NET 6) - Python 3.9+ with `requests` library - Covenant API token (obtained via /api/users/login) - Written authorization for red team engagement - Isolated lab or authorized target environment ## Steps ### Step 1: Authenticate to Covenant API Obtain a JWT token by posting credentials to /api/users/login endpoint. ### Step 2: Create Listener Configure an HTTP or HTTPS listener with callback URLs and bind address. ### Step 3: Generate Launcher Create a binary, PowerShell, or MSBuild launcher tied to the listener for grunt deployment. ### Step 4: Deploy and Manage Grunts Monitor grunt callbacks, execute tasks, and collect output from compromised hosts. ### Step 5: Document Operations Generate an operations report documenting all actions, timestamps, and findings. ## Expected Output JSON report with listener configuration, active grunts, executed tasks, and task output for engagement documentation.
