C2ingRed: Automated C2 Server Deployment

Welcome to C2ingRed, a project designed to automate the deployment of Command and Control (C2) servers on cloud platforms (Linode and AWS) using Ansible and Python. This project simplifies the setup and configuration of a secure, operational C2 server equipped with popular red team tools.

Usage

Setup and Prerequisites

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure provider-specific variables in vars.yaml files:

   • AWS: AWS/vars.yaml
   • Linode: Linode/vars.yaml

3. (Optional) Use a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

Run the Deployment Script

Deploy your C2 server by specifying the provider and required parameters:

python3 deploy.py --provider aws --aws-access-key <your_access_key> --aws-secret-key <your_secret_key> --debug --region us-east-1

Argument	Description	Required	Default Value
--provider	Choose between aws or linode.	Yes	linode
--region	Specify deployment region. If not provided, a random region is chosen.	No	Random region
--debug	Enable verbose output for debugging.	No	Disabled
--ssh	SSH into the deployed instance after deployment.	No	Disabled
--aws-access-key	AWS Access Key for authentication (required for AWS provider).	Yes (AWS only)	None
