Cybersecurity firm @… has a new blog out on how to use Azure Blob storage as a C2 for their Mythic C2 framework. This is a difficult one to defend against as it’s really hard to develop and maintain an enterprise-wide allow list for blob storage URLs. But it is a reminder to look for these URLs in your threat hunts.

Weaponizing Whitelists: An Azure Blob Storage Mythic C2 Profile
Mature enterprises lock down egress but often carve out broad exceptions for trusted cloud services. This post shows how reviewing deployment guides can help identify those exceptions and weaponize them with a new Mythic C2 profile called azureBlob.

This was a proof of concept and an attempt to push AI as far as it would go. I believe that it has succeeded brilliantly! Also, *I would not call this a l…
