Executive Overview — What We’re Dealing With

This specimen has persisted long enough to matter. Human experts classified it as Malware, and the telemetry confirms a capable, evasive Trojan with real impact potential.

Extended Dwell Time Impact

For 17+ hours, this malware remained undetected — a half-day window that permitted the adversary to complete initial execution, establish basic persistence, and perform initial system enumeration.

Global Detection Posture — Who Caught It, Who Missed It

VirusTotal engines: 73. Detected as malicious: 54. Missed: 19. Coverage: 74.0%.

Why it matters: if any endpoint relies solely on a missed engine, this malware can operate with zero alerts. Prevention‑first controls close that gap regardless of signature lag.

Behavioral Storyline — How the Malware Operates

Dominant system-level operations (73.77% of behavior) suggest this malware performs deep system reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or core OS manipulation. It’s actively probing system defenses and attempting to gain administrative control.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

• T1071 – Yara detections observed in process dumps, payloads or dropped files
• T1071 – The PE file contains an overlay
• T1027 – The binary likely contains encrypted or compressed data
• T1027 – The binary contains an unknown PE section name indicative of packing
• T1027.002 – The binary likely contains encrypted or compressed data
• T1027.002 – The binary contains an unknown PE section name indicative of packing
• T1064 – Found PHP interpreter
• T1047 – Queries BIOS Information (via WMI, Win32_Bios)
• T1047 – Queries sensitive Operating System Information (via WMI, Win32_ComputerSystem, often done to detect virtual machines)
• T1548 – Found direct / indirect Syscall (likely to bypass EDR)
• T1497 – Queries sensitive Operating System Information (via WMI, Win32_ComputerSystem, often done to detect virtual machines)
• T1056 – Sample has functionality to log and monitor keystrokes, analyze it with the keystroke simulation cookbook
• T1056 – Creates a DirectInput object (often for capturing keystrokes)
• T1056 – Installs a raw input device (often for capturing keystrokes)
• T1518.001 – Switches to a customs stack to bypass stack traces
• T1518.001 – Queries sensitive Operating System Information (via WMI, Win32_ComputerSystem, often done to detect virtual machines)
• T1518.001 – Checks if the current machine is a virtual machine (disk enumeration)
• T1057 – Queries a list of all running processes
• T1082 – Switches to a customs stack to bypass stack traces
• T1082 – Queries BIOS Information (via WMI, Win32_Bios)
• T1082 – Queries sensitive Operating System Information (via WMI, Win32_ComputerSystem, often done to detect virtual machines)
• T1071 – C2 URLs / IPs found in malware configuration

Following the Trail — Network & DNS Activity

Outbound activity leans on reputable infrastructure (e.g., CDNs, cloud endpoints) to blend in. TLS sessions and
HTTP calls show routine beaconing and IP‑lookup behavior that can masquerade as normal browsing.

Hunting tip: alert on unknown binaries initiating TLS to IP‑lookup services or unusual CDN endpoints — especially early in execution.
