DNS and HTTP/HTTPS.

Explanation: DNS and HTTP/HTTPS C2s commonly hide commands inside DNS query/response fields or inside HTTP(S) request/response payloads. IRC, social media and media-file channels instead typically carry commands in chat posts, social posts or file contents (not in the protocol query/response fields in the same way).
