DeepC2: AI-powered Covert Command and Control on OSNs. (arXiv:2009.07707v7 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Command and control (C&C) is important in an attack. It transfers commands
from the attacker to the malware in the compromised hosts. Currently, some
attackers use online social networks (OSNs) in C&C tasks. There are two main
problems in the C&C on OSNs. First, the process for the malware to find the
attacker is reversible. If the malware sample is analyzed by the defender, the
attacker would be exposed before publishing the commands. Second, the commands
in plain or encrypted …
