Signatures

  • AsyncRat

    AsyncRAT is designed to remotely monitor and control other computers written in C#.

  • Async RAT payload 3 IoCs
  • Checks computer location settings 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Looks up country code configured in the registry, likely geofence.

  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Legitimate hosting services abused for malware hosting/C2 1 TTPs
  • Enumerates physical storage devices 1 TTPs

    Attempts to interact with connected storage/optical drive(s). Likely ransomware behaviour.
