C2 profile for Mythic tunneling encrypted peer-to-peer agent traffic through IEEE 802.1AB LLDP Organizationally Specific TLVs for covert Layer 2 command and control.
Mythic C2 profile for peer-to-peer communication over IEEE 802.1AB (LLDP). C2 data is carried inside Organizationally Specific TLVs (Type 127) with a configurable OUI so that frames blend with vendor-specific LLDP extensions on the wire.
LLDP is Layer 2 only. Both agents must share a broadcast domain. An egress agent (HTTP/HTTPX) bridges LLDP-linked agents back to the Mythic server, same as the SMB and TCP P2P profiles.
