Cobalt Strike Beacon Configuration Analyzer
Extracts and analyzes beacon configurations from PE files, shellcode,
and memory dumps using dissect.cobaltstrike and manual parsing.
Requirements:
pip install dissect.cobaltstrike pefile yara-python
Usage:
python process.py --file beacon.exe --output report.json
python process.py --file memdump.bin --scan-memory
python process.py --directory ./samples --batch
