Getting the data out using social media

Presented at BSidesLV 2015, Aug. 4, 2015, noon (25 minutes)

You've made it into the network - but can you get data out? Today's Internet provides a dazzling array of legitimate upload sites to hide your traffic in - Twitter, Flickr, SoundCloud, YouTube, Dropbox, and more - but each channel requires a different tool or custom code, and endless troubleshooting. Sneaky-creeper is a new open source framework for exfiltrating (or infiltrating) data using any of the backchannels the Internet provides, with a minimum of effort. Modules are easy to create and share, enabling covert communications over more channels than ever before.
