The AWS Cobalt Redirector is a tool designed to streamline the deployment of a command-and-control (C2) infrastructure for red team operations using AWS services.
It leverages Terraform and Ansible for automation and integrates AWS resources like CloudFront, Lambda, and EC2 to create a robust redirector setup.
The AWS Cobalt Redirector simplifies the process of deploying a redirector for Cobalt Strike, a popular red teaming tool.
The redirector acts as an intermediary between the attacker’s team server and the target systems, obfuscating traffic and enhancing operational security. The setup uses:
The Lambda function is configured to consume minimal resources (125 MB memory), ensuring cost-effectiveness during operations.

.ansible/inventory/redteam.yml
.playbook/cobaltstrike.yml
to finalize the setup.Once completed, this automated process deploys a fully functional redirector infrastructure.
This tool is particularly valuable for red teams seeking efficient, secure, and scalable C2 infrastructure without manual configuration complexities.
