command and control (c2) servers
Command and control (C2) servers are centralized computers or devices that are used by cyber attackers to send commands and receive information from compromised devices or systems. These servers play a crucial role in coordinating and controlling malicious activities such as data exfiltration, malware distribution, and botnet operations. The relationship between command and control servers is critical for the successful execution of cyber attacks, as they act as the main communication hub between the attackers and the compromised devices.
