Cobalt Strike watermark · 89 other hosts · 89 listed

The watermark identifies the Cobalt Strike licence a beacon was built with. Cracked and leaked builds share watermarks widely, so it is not evidence of a single operator.

Of these, 34 are listed under an earlier value and 55 are past the 40 hosts shown.

Samples served · 4 files

Files this address was seen serving, each identified by running or analysing it. A widely distributed file can reach unrelated hosts.

3 of the 4 files are configured to connect to this address on :2077.

3 of the 4 files are VShell loaders whose configuration was read from the file. A VShell loader’s only configuration is the address and port it calls. The listener key (vkey) and the salt arrive from the listener when the loader connects, so only sandbox runs that reached a live listener show them.
