Malware Config

Signatures

  • DcRat

    DarkCrystal(DC) is a new .NET RAT active since June 2019 capable of loading additional plugins.

  • Modifies WinLogon for persistence 2 TTPs 12 IoCs
  • Process spawned unexpected child process 36 IoCs

    This typically indicates the parent process was compromised via an exploit or macro.

  • DCRat payload 4 IoCs

    Detects payload of DCRat, commonly dropped by NSIS installers.

  • Checks computer location settings 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Adds Run key to start application 2 TTPs 24 IoCs
  • Looks up external IP address via web service 2 IoCs

    Uses a legitimate IP lookup service to find the infected system's external IP.

  • Drops file in Program Files directory 4 IoCs
  • Drops file in Windows directory 6 IoCs
  • Enumerates physical storage devices 1 TTPs

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

  • Creates scheduled task(s) 1 TTPs 36 IoCs

    Schtasks is often used by malware for persistence or to perform post-infection execution.

  • Suspicious behavior: EnumeratesProcesses 26 IoCs
  • Suspicious behavior: GetForegroundWindowSpam 1 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of AdjustPrivilegeToken 2 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of WriteProcessMemory 2 IoCs
  • Uses Task Scheduler COM API 1 TTPs

    The Task Scheduler COM API can be used to schedule applications to run on boot or at set times.
