Cobalt Strike is the latest tool that Raphael Mudge (@Armitagehacker) has released at http://www.advancedpentest.com/ to help penetration testers optimize their workflow and pen testing tasks. Cobalt Strike is a commercially supported version of Armitage, Cyber Attack Management for Metasploit, with a whole slew of new features added to aid in social engineering attacks, phishing, and targeted exploitation. As described on their own site: "Cobalt Strike is threat emulation software. Red teams and penetration testers use Cobalt Strike to demonstrate the risk of a breach and evaluate mature security programs. Cobalt Strike exploits network vulnerabilities, launches spear phishing campaigns, hosts web drive-by attacks, and generates malware infected files from a powerful graphical user interface that encourages collaboration and reports all activity." The full article examines more details of this new software package, thoughts on how it might fit into your arsenal of tools and also this exclusive video by Ryan Linn offering a first look at Cobalt Strike to all EH-Netters.
