Remotely Control Any Computer with Mythic C2 and Discord | Step-by-Step Ethical Hacking Guide

In this advanced red team tutorial, I’ll show you how to remotely control any PC using the powerful Mythic C2 framework integrated with Discord as a stealthy command and control (C2) channel. This guide is for educational and ethical hacking purposes only.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:
What is Mythic C2 and how it works
Why Discord can be used as a C2 channel
Step-by-step setup of Mythic C2 + Discord
Real-world red teaming tactics
Embedded video tutorial 🎥
Final thoughts on OPSEC and responsible use
🔍 Introduction to Mythic C2 Framework
Mythic C2 is a modern, open-source Command and Control (C2) platform widely used by red teamers and advanced penetration testers. It’s built using Go and Python, and features a web-based UI, making offensive security operations more intuitive and flexible.

🛠️ Key Features:

Modular agent support (Apfell, Poseidon, Electra, etc.)
Cross-platform
Fully customizable payloads
RESTful API and scripting capabilities
🤖 Why Use Discord as a C2 Channel?
Discord is a widely used communication platform with end-to-end encryption, making it ideal for red teamers looking for a covert and stealthy C2 channel. It’s easy to integrate using webhooks or bots.

✔️ Advantages:

Low detection rate on traditional monitoring systems
Easy bot/webhook integration
Blends into normal user activity
Real-time command execution
⚠️ This is intended strictly for ethical use in labs, CTFs, or internal environments. Unauthorized access is illegal.

🛠 Summary of Steps:
Install Mythic C2 Framework (Ubuntu preferred)
Launch Mythic UI and generate an agent (Apfell/Poseidon)
Setup a Discord webhook for communication
Modify the agent to route communication through the webhook
Deploy the agent on the test machine
Send commands from your Discord channel
View the responses in real-time
🧪 Use Cases for Red Teaming Labs
This technique is useful for:

Cybersecurity students
Red team simulation in internal networks
CTF players
Malware behavior analysis (in sandbox/lab)
OPSEC training & awareness
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
