MSBuildAPICaller vs WebDAV Covert Channel: 2026 Comparison

WebDAV Covert Channel

Red team operators and penetration testers validating WebDAV weaknesses in their own infrastructure will find WebDAV Covert Channel valuable for demonstrating C2 evasion tactics that slip past signature-based detection. The tool's use of native WebDAV protocol features means it generates legitimate-looking traffic patterns that most organizations haven't specifically instrumented to catch, making it effective for stress-testing detection gaps in NIST Detect capabilities. Skip this if your goal is operational C2 for live engagements; it's a lab tool for controlled assessment, not a field weapon, and requires explicit network access to WebDAV services most enterprises have already disabled.
