Covenant

Covenant is an open-source command and control (C2) framework developed in C# for penetration testing and red team operations. It provides a collaborative platform for managing multiple attackers, executing post-exploitation tasks, and maintaining persistent access to compromised systems. The framework features a web-based interface, modular architecture for extensibility, and integration with other security tools.

Also known as: Covenant C2, Covenant Framework, Covenant Red Team Tool, Covenant C# C2, Covenant Penetration Testing Tool

Why learn Covenant?

Developers and security professionals should learn Covenant when conducting authorized penetration tests, red team exercises, or security research to simulate advanced persistent threats (APTs). It is particularly useful for testing network defenses, developing custom attack modules, and understanding adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) in a controlled environment. Use cases include security assessments, incident response training, and improving organizational security posture through realistic simulations.
