In this module, we will explore the concept of hack-back. Specifically, we are going to discuss offensive actions which disrupt or impede an ongoing attack. This is meant to be a gentle overview/introduction to offensive development in general. The caveat is we are focusing on leveraging an attacker’s C2 channel against them.

By the end of this module, you will understand:

* The legal challenges of hack-back
* How a justifiable defensive hack would work
* The risks and challenges inherent in offensive operations
* Different types of C2 architecture
* The threat modeling and vulnerability research process
* Different C2 tasking mechanisms and how to attack them

**There is no SIEM component for this module.**
