@ogunal Hi i am facing similar issue, i don’t see any SMTP logs while running Packet capture in Wireshark

Also noticed that Fiddler shows 503 error when the regsvc tries to connect with checkip[.]dyndns[.]org in the example walkthrough it shows 200 code which means it successfully connected

Have you tried checking the simulation mode in Packet Tracer? Sometimes the logs might not show up in real time. Make sure you’re running the simulation properly and that the email is actually being sent. If that doesn’t help, maybe try restarting Packet Tracer or double checking your configurations.

Hello,

I have also encountered the same problem @ogunal. Fiddler shows dns request to checkip.dyndns.org returned 502 code. Since the malware could not resolve the C2’s ip address further communications seems to not happen.

Could someone look into this though? I kind of want to practice

Thank you.

why there is no any answer here? everyone facing the same issues, and I don’t see any way to solve this.
