REDIRECTORS

redirectors are intermediary systems or services that forward traffic to/from destinations. it allows actors to mask the origin and destination of the traffic. redirectors can be used to improve operational security (OPSEC), evade detection and ensures persistence. depending on the configuration, redirectors can route traffic the C2 Server or the Payload/Malware Server, etc.
