What is Malware Beaconing?

Understanding Malware Beaconing

Malware Beaconing is a technique used by malicious software to periodically send out signals or data packets to a remote command and control server. This communication method allows the malware to establish and maintain a covert channel for receiving instructions, updates, and exfiltrating data from the compromised system without triggering suspicion. By sending out these small and frequent beacon signals, the malware can evade detection by security tools that are designed to identify and block irregular or anomalous network traffic.
