## What it is
Covenant is a collaborative .NET command and control (C2) framework for red teamers, built as an ASP.NET Core cross-platform application with a web-based interface. It supports multi-user collaboration, listener profiles, encrypted key exchange, and dynamic C# compilation via Roslyn.

## Use cases
- run a collaborative red team operation with multiple operators
- manage C2 listeners and Grunt implants from a web interface
- generate and control .NET post-exploitation implants
- profile and encrypt C2 network traffic to evade detection
- dynamically compile and execute C# tradecraft on targets
- self-host a C2 server in Docker on Linux, macOS, or Windows

## When to choose
- you need a multi-user, web-based C2 platform for red team operations
- your targets run Windows/.NET and you want offensive .NET tradecraft
- you want cross-platform C2 infrastructure with Docker support
- you need encrypted key exchange and forward secrecy in implant communications

## When to avoid
- you need a C2 framework for non-.NET targets like Linux or macOS implants
- you want an actively developed tool with frequent updates
- you need a lightweight single-operator CLI-only C2
- your engagement requires avoiding GPL-3.0 licensed tooling
