Key capabilities include: - Establishing command and control (C2) communication through WebDAV protocol - Operating entirely in memory to avoid disk-based detection mechanisms - Maintaining proxy compatibility for environments with network restrictions - Providing DFIR-friendly characteristics that can evade forensic analysis - Delivering payloads through legitimate-appearing WebDAV traffic The technique takes advantage of WebDAV's file sharing and collaboration features to mask malicious activities within normal network traffic patterns.
