18.6.14 Set Beacon Params
The set beacon params command will change one or more of the target implants
running beacon interval settings.
XML Example
<SetBeaconParams>
<InitialWait>10m</InitialWait>
<MaxInterval>60</MaxInterval>
<DefaultInterval>15</DefaultInterval>
<BackoffMultiple>1.35</BackoffMultiple>
<Jitter>5</Jitter>
</SetBeaconParams>
Field Definitions
Initial Wait
The initial wait field defines the length that the Implant will wait after startup
before it begins the beacon cycle. In the example above, the length is set to ten
minutes.
Max Interval
The max interval field defines the maximum length that the target Implant will
wait between beacons. In the example above, the max interval is set to sixty
seconds.
Default Interval
The default interval field defines the default time the Implant will wait between
beacons. In the example above, the default interval is set to fifteen seconds.
Backoff Multiple
The backoff field multiple defines the multiplier that is applied to the current
beacon interval after a failure. In the example above, the backoff multiple is set
to 1.35.
Jitter
The jitter field defines the maximum variance that is applied to the current
beacon interval. In the example above, the jitter is set to five seconds.
