T1483: Domain Generation Algorithms

mitre-defense-evasion | Level: Easy  | Total Lab Runs: 0 | Premium Lab

Lab Scoreboard

Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) are used to dynamically identify a destination for command and control instead of using a list of static IP addresses or domains. Hardcoded lists allow white-hat researchers to reverse engineer the malware and block C&C IPs/domains with ISPs help. However, DGAs take way more time to reverse engineer and buy more time for the adversary. 

In this lab, you are provided with DGA Code Collection based on DGAs of various malware captured in wild. The codes are ready to run.

Objective: Check and run different programs to understand how DGAs work!

Technical Support for this Lab:

There is a reason we provide unlimited lab time: you can take as much time as you need to solve a lab. However, we realize that sometimes hints might be necessary to keep you motivated!

We currently provide technical support limited to:

  • Giving hints for a lab exercise
  • In rare circumstances, if you have totally given up (NO!!!) then tell you how to solve it. This will be limited to sharing the solution video or lab report
  • A lab exercise fails to load or has errors in it

If you need technical support, please email  attackdefense@pentesteracademy.com  clearly mention the name and link of the lab exercise and other essential details. The more descriptive you are, the faster we can help you. We will get back to you within 24 hours or less.
