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…

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…

Manufacturing Cybersecurity: Trends & Survey Response

Ransomware attacks have been on the rise in recent years, and hospitals are increasingly becoming targets. In many cases, these attacks can have devastating consequences, disrupting vital services and putting patients’ lives at risk. Historically, ransomware was just another nuisance. Criminals would just do email phishing and attack every target they could. But as cybercriminals become more and more sophisticated, they create more complex attacks that target big-ticket victims such as healthcare facilities. There are…
