If you discover security vulnerabilities in this framework:
- Email: richkmeli@gmail.com
- Do NOT publish exploits publicly
- Allow reasonable time for fixes
- RC4 is deprecated and insecure (use for education only)
- Consider implementing modern algorithms (AES-256-GCM)
- Never reuse encryption keys
- All C2 communications should use encryption
- Implement certificate pinning
- Use secure protocols (TLS 1.3+)
This framework demonstrates techniques that may be detected by:
- Antivirus software
- Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
- Network monitoring tools
- Behavioral analysis systems
This is intentional for educational purposes.
Users must comply with:
- Local and international laws
