#Cobalt strike beacon list files install#

Both the library and (thus) the scripts currently support parsing Beacon PE files (EXE/DLL) and memory dumps from systems running a Beacon. list-cs-settings is designed for those who want to conduct research on Beacon configurations by attempting to detect setting types by brute force. The first script, csce (Cobalt Strike Configuration Extractor), is intended for daily use to extract and parse Beacon configuration data and is the one most will likely be interested in.

list-cs-settings: Attempt to discover, extract, and parse all possible Beacon configuration data by brute force.

csce: Parse Beacon configuration data to JSON.

There are two command line scripts that come bundled with the package:

The README contains detailed instructions for using pip to install the package from PyPI. Today we are open sourcing the library and scripts, as well as extensive Beacon and library documentation, for the broader DFIR community to use and collaborate on with us! Getting Started Due to the large volume of Beacons in our casework, and given the opportunity to dive deep into this advanced post-exploitation framework, we set out to write a high-quality library and associated set of command line tools for extracting and parsing configuration data from Cobalt Strike Beacons to aid in accelerating response times.

With each passing month and each new ransomware case, the consultants at Stroz Friedberg Incident Response are finding Cobalt Strike Beacons to be the norm for persistence, lateral movement, and exfiltration rather than the exception.
