With more threat actors embracing ""exotic"" programming languages for their payloads, red team operators would be well-advised to develop tooling that emulates this technique. Rust, although a challenging language to get started with, is an appealing choice for offensive tooling due to its flexibility and excellent bindings to the Windows API.

This talk will discuss how to get started with Rust for offensive tool creation, my experiences building a Rust C2 (OffensiveNotion), and what else is possible for Rustacean red teamers.
