SECRET//ORCON//NOFORN
16.1 Design
The Gibson is distributed across two machines, the Listening Post (LP) and the
Command and Control (C2). The separation between the C2 and LP provides
increased security over a one-machine model. Sensitive information and operations
are stored and conducted on the C2, which should not directly access or be
accessed from the Internet. Activities requiring access to the Internet are conducted
on the LP, which should be hardened against attack.
The Gibson requires implementation of two Galleon interfaces. The Galleon
Transport interface is used for communication between the C2 and LP. The Galleon
Publish interface is used by the C2 to post information from the Assassin implant.
Implementations of these interfaces must be provided in order to deploy a The
Gibson.
The Gibson C2 hosts the following components: User Interface, Task Generator,
Queue Proxy, Post Processor, Default Ingester, and Log Extractor.
The Gibson LP hosts the following components: Beacon Server, Queue, Log
Collector.
