Abstract

The IP address associated with a domain name can be changed back and forth from being route-able to unroute-able. The changing of a domain name's associated IP address can potentially indicate the turning on of a C2 server. This presentation walks through how to use Analysis Pipeline to detect these changes in the control plane and to detect any data going to these recently unparked IP addresses.
