DeimosC2: What SOC Analysts and Incident Responders Need to Know About This C&C Framework

Changing the paths is likely something that an attacker will do, and this will cause some of the things we’ve previously discussed to change in the binaries and in the traffic patterns. For instance, if the getname in the DOH agent is changed, it will no longer go to 6765746e616d65 but will instead redirect to a subdomain of whatever it was changed to, converted to the hexadecimal system (an example being “trendmicroftr”, which would look…

Comprehensive Traceability for Android Supply-Chain Security

What is product traceability? Product supply-chain traceability is a very important aspect in manufacturing as it contributes directly to product safety, quality, and, as an emerging trend, product sustainability and ethics. In terms of safety, automotive manufacturers consistently announce product recalls to protect their customers from failure of faulty parts, as well as to protect themselves by being compliant and avoiding litigation. In a recent example, Rivian, an electric car company, recently issued a recall…

From Bounty to Exploit Observations About Cybercriminal Contests

Cybercriminals have taken their own initiative to establish an informal way of conducting research and development by holding contests on forums. In this blog post, we go through the key takeaways we learned about these competitions. These contests are diverse and range from public calls for articles that describe new technologies to hackathons that can improve cybercriminals’ defenses. We elaborate on the details of their operation here. The following are our key takeaways: Cybercriminals often…

Where is the Origin QAKBOT Uses Valid Code Signing

In this case, the assumption that the threat actor was directly issued certificates through abuse of the certificate issuance process is more strongly suspected than the stealing of the private key, but the protection of private keys on the user side is still a challenge. In the use of code signing certificates, private key protection on the user side has been enhanced over time, but it still has a long way to go before it…
