Plug. Play. Persist. Inside a Ready-to-Go Havoc C2 Infrastructure
This analysis focuses on a single Azure-hosted Virtual Machine at 52.230.23.114 that the adversary converted into an all-in-one delivery, staging and Command-and-Control node. The host advertises an out-of-date Apache 2.4.52 instance whose open directory exposes phishing lures, PowerShell loaders, Reflective Shell-Code, compiled Havoc Demon implants and a toolbox of lateral-movement binaries; the same server also answers on 8443/80 for encrypted beacon traffic. The web tier is riddled with publ…

Capacity Planning and Scheduling for Jobs with Uncertainty in Resource Usage and Duration
Organizations around the world schedule jobs (programs) regularly to perform various tasks dictated by their end users. With the major movement towards using a cloud computing infrastructure, our organization follows a hybrid approach with both cloud and on-prem servers. The objective of this work is to perform capacity planning, i.e., estimate resource requirements, and job scheduling for on-prem grid computing environments. A key contribution of our approach is handling uncertainty in both re…
