Threat Hunting C2: DNS TXT Record Abuse with Faan Rossouw

February 20 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Could DNS traffic be hiding active C2 in your environment right now?

We welcome you to join us for a free monthly one-hour training session on command & control and malicious traffic with Faan Rossouw (Active Countermeasures) and learn a stealthy C2 technique that bypasses common DNS tunneling detections and how to catch it.

What you’ll learn:

  • How attackers abuse DNS TXT records to deliver payloads (server to agent)
  • Why low-subdomain-count DNS C2 slips past default thresholds
  • The behavioral signals defenders can reliably hunt for
  • A real-world case study: Joker Screenmate malware (DomainTools, July 2025)

Faan will walk through a full threat hunt, so you’ll leave with practical skills you can apply immediately, including one Zeek command you can run today to find TXT record abuse in your logs.
