Performing Red Team Operations with Covenant C2

Overview

Covenant is a collaborative .NET C2 framework for red teamers that provides a Swagger-documented REST API for managing listeners, launchers, grunts (agents), and tasks. This skill covers automating Covenant operations through its API for authorized red team engagements: creating HTTP/HTTPS listeners, generating binary and PowerShell launchers, deploying grunts, executing tasks on compromised hosts, and tracking lateral movement.

When to Use

When conducting security assessments that involve performing red team with covenant
When following incident response procedures for related security events
When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
When validating security controls through hands-on testing

Prerequisites

Covenant C2 server deployed (Docker or .NET 6)
Python 3.9+ with requests library
Covenant API token (obtained via /api/users/login)
Written authorization for red team engagement
Isolated lab or authorized target environment

Steps

Step 1: Authenticate to Covenant API

Obtain a JWT token by posting credentials to /api/users/login endpoint.

Step 2: Create Listener

Configure an HTTP or HTTPS listener with callback URLs and bind address.

Step 3: Generate Launcher

Create a binary, PowerShell, or MSBuild launcher tied to the listener for grunt deployment.

Step 4: Deploy and Manage Grunts

Monitor grunt callbacks, execute tasks, and collect output from compromised hosts.

Step 5: Document Operations

Generate an operations report documenting all actions, timestamps, and findings.

Expected Output

JSON report with listener configuration, active grunts, executed tasks, and task output for engagement documentation.
