You may use a VPN or install utilities to capture and forward traffic to other subnets, or configure proxychains. This phase is usually skipped during a CTF (Capture The Flag event) because the goal is to practice attacking techniques, but in real-world conditions, a pentester must cover all tracks.

The PlugX families we observed used DNS [ T1071.001 ] [ T1071.004 ] as the transport channel for C2 traffic, in particular TXT queries. Another clue that helped us was the use of DNS tunneling by Winnti which we discovered traces of in memory. The hardcoded 208.67.222.222 resolves to a legitimate OpenDNS DNS server. 180.50.*.*.
