WebDAV Covert Channel Description

WebDAV Covert Channel is a technique that exploits WebDAV protocol features to establish covert communication channels and deliver malicious payloads. The tool leverages WebDAV's legitimate functionality to bypass traditional security controls including intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and antivirus solutions. 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. By operating through established protocols, it can blend with legitimate business communications and avoid triggering security alerts.
