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 2+ hours, this malware remained undetected — a limited but sufficient window for the adversary to complete initial execution and establish basic system access.

Global Detection Posture — Who Caught It, Who Missed It

VirusTotal engines: 73. Detected as malicious: 48. Missed: 25. Coverage: 65.8%.

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

Intensive file system activity (85.43% of behavior) indicates data harvesting, file encryption, or dropper behavior. The threat is actively searching for and manipulating files across the system.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

• T1027.005 – contain obfuscated stackstrings
• T1027 – encode data using Base64
• T1129 – link function at runtime on Windows
• T1129 – link many functions at runtime
• T1027 – encode data using XOR
• T1027 – encrypt data using RC4 PRGA
• T1129 – forwarded export
• T1056.001 – log keystrokes
• T1129 – parse PE header
• T1063 – It Tries to detect injection methods
• T1055 – May try to detect the Windows Explorer process (often used for injection)
• T1055 – System process connects to network (likely due to code injection)
• T1497 – Checks if the current process is being debugged
• T1497 – Opens the same file many times (likely Sandbox evasion)
• T1218.011 – Runs a DLL by calling functions
• T1518.001 – Checks if the current process is being debugged
• T1057 – May try to detect the Windows Explorer process (often used for injection)
• T1082 – Queries the cryptographic machine GUID
• T1082 – Queries the volume information (name, serial number etc) of a device
• T1016 – Checks the online ip address of the machine
• T1095 – Downloads files from webservers via HTTP
• T1071 – Downloads files from webservers via HTTP
• T1105 – Downloads files from webservers via HTTP

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.
