Remaining Hidden

I don't have a threat per se. I was reading Advanced Penetration Testing by Wil Allsopp and he was talking about sending stealthy Payloads during an APT test while also making your C2 undiscoverable/untraceable. He didn't provide much info on that. I was just looking at it from a research or security analyst perspective, how do hackers remain hidden?
