Description

Adversaries may establish or use cyber communication channels for command and control. A channel may use any network protocol, service, repository, relay, or other intermediary and may operate synchronously or asynchronously.

See the ATT&CK Command and Control tactic for techniques describing specific protocols, services, relays, tunneling methods, and communication patterns.
