## What it is
DeimosC2 is a Golang-based command and control (C2) framework for post-exploitation, supporting TCP, HTTPS, DoH, and QUIC agent communications with a Vue.js web frontend. It is now deprecated, unmaintained, and has a known XSS vulnerability (CVE-2025-26244).

## Use cases
- run a command and control server for red team operations
- control compromised machines over HTTPS, DoH, or QUIC
- manage post-exploitation agents with a web UI
- generate payloads dynamically for multiple protocols
- study how C2 frameworks are built in Go

## When to choose
- you need a Go-based C2 with DoH or QUIC listeners for research
- you want a self-contained C2 with multi-user web interface and 2FA
- you are studying C2 architecture or historical red team tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the project is deprecated and unmaintained
- security matters - it has a known unpatched XSS vulnerability (CVE-2025-26244)
- you need production red team infrastructure - consider actively maintained alternatives like Sliver or Mythic
