A new botnet Orchard Generates DGA Domains with Bitcoin Transaction Information
A new botnet Orchard Generates DGA Domains with Bitcoin Transaction Information
DGA is one of the classic techniques for botnets to hide their C2s, attacker only needs to selectively register a very small number of C2 domains, while for the defenders, it is difficult to determine in advance which domain names will be generated and registered.

Attackers leveraging Dark Utilities "C2aaS" platform in malware campaigns
  • Dark Utilities, released in early 2022, is a platform that provides full-featured C2 capabilities to adversaries. It is marketed as a means to enable remote access, command execution, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and cryptocurrency mining operations on infected systems. Payloads provided by the platform support Windows, Linux and Python-based implementations and are hosted within the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), making them resilient to content moderation or law enforcement intervention. Since its initial release, we've observed malware samples in the wild leveraging it to facilitate remote access and cryptocurrency mining.

Manjusaka: A Chinese sibling of Sliver and Cobalt Strike
  • Cisco Talos recently discovered a new attack framework called "Manjusaka" being used in the wild that has the potential to become prevalent across the threat landscape. This framework is advertised as an imitation of the Cobalt Strike framework. The implants for the new malware family are written in the Rust language for Windows and Linux. A fully functional version of the command and control (C2), written in GoLang with a User Interface in Simplified Chinese, is freely available and can generate new implants with custom configurations with ease, increasing the likelihood of wider adoption of this framework by malicious actors. We recently discovered a campaign in the wild using lure documents themed around COVID-19 and the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. These maldocs ultimately led to the delivery of Cobalt Strike beacons on infected endpoints. We have observed the same threat actor using the Cobalt Strike beacon and implants from the Manjusaka framework.

Visualizing QakBot Infrastructure
Visualizing QakBot Infrastructure
This blog post seeks to draw out some high-level trends and anomalies based on our ongoing tracking of QakBot command and control (C2) infrastructure. By looking at the data with a broader scope, we hope to supplement other research into this particular threat family, which in general focuses on specific infrastructure elements; e.g., daily alerting on active C2 servers.

MacStealer: New macOS-based Stealer Malware Identified
MacStealer: New macOS-based Stealer Malware Identified
Uptycs has already identified three Windows-based malware families that use Telegram this year, including Titan Stealer, Parallax RAT, and HookSpoofer. Attackers are increasingly turning to it, particularly for stealer command and control (C2). And now the Uptycs threat research team has discovered a macOS stealer that also controls its operations over Telegram. We’ve dubbed it MacStealer.

Nighthawk: An Up-and-Coming Pentest Tool Likely to Gain Threat Actor Notice | Proofpoint US
Key Takeaways * Nighthawk is an advanced C2 framework intended for red team operations through commercial licensing. * Proofpoint researchers observed initial use of the framework in September 2022 by a likely red team. * We have seen no indications at this time that leaked versions of Nighthawk are being used by attributed threat actors in the wild. * The tool has a robust list of configurable evasion techniques that are referenced as “opsec” functions throughout its code. P* roofpoint researchers expect Nighthawk will show up in threat actor campaigns as the tool becomes more widely recognized or as threat actors search for new, more capable tools to use against targets.

Alchimist: A new attack framework in Chinese for Mac, Linux and Windows
  • Cisco Talos discovered a new attack framework including a command and control (C2) tool called "Alchimist" and a new malware "Insekt" with remote administration capabilities. * The Alchimist has a web interface in Simplified Chinese with remote administration features. * The attack framework is designed to target Windows, Linux and Mac machines. * Alchimist and Insekt binaries are implemented in GoLang. * This campaign consists of additional bespoke tools such as a MacOS exploitation tool, a custom backdoor and multiple off-the-shelf tools such as reverse proxies.
