RemoteRecon – Remote Recon and Collection

RemoteRecon provides the ability to execute post-exploitation capabilities against a remote host, without having to expose your complete toolkit/agent.

Often times as operator’s we need to compromise a host, just so we can keylog or screenshot (or some other miniscule task) against a person/host of interest. Why should you have to push over beacon, empire, innuendo, meterpreter, or a custom RAT to the target?

This increases the footprint that you have in the target environment, exposes functionality in your agent, and most likely your C2 infrastructure. An alternative would be to deploy a secondary agent to targets of interest and collect intelligence.

Then store this data for retrieval at your discretion. If these compromised endpoints are discovered by IR teams, you lose those endpoints and the information you’ve collected, but nothing more. Below is a visual representation of how I imagine an adversary would utilize this.

RemoteRecon utilizes the registry for data storage, with WMI as an internal C2 channel. All commands are executed in a asynchronous, push and pull manner. Meaning that you will send commands via the powershell controller and then retrieve the results of that command via the registry. All results will be displayed in the local console.
