## What it is
A community-maintained cheat sheet of notes, command examples, and OPSEC advice for the Cobalt Strike command-and-control framework. It covers listeners, Malleable C2 profiles, Aggressor scripts, exploitation, privilege escalation, pivoting, lateral movement, and exfiltration.

## Use cases
- learn how to use cobalt strike for red team operations
- find common cobalt strike beacon commands
- understand listener types like HTTP, DNS, SMB in cobalt strike
- reference for lateral movement and pivoting with cobalt strike
- opsec tips when operating a C2 framework
- prepare for red team certification labs or exams

## When to choose
- you are a red teamer or pentester needing a quick reference for Cobalt Strike commands
- you are learning offensive security and want structured notes on C2 functionality
- you need OPSEC guidance and examples for beacon operations

## When to avoid
- you need the Cobalt Strike software itself - this is only documentation
- you are looking for a defensive/blue-team detection guide
- you need a maintained tool rather than static notes - content may lag behind current versions

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, documentation
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: cheatsheet, cobalt-strike, c2, red-team, redteaming, offensive-security, notes
