Malware Config

Signatures

  • Family: SectopRAT

    SectopRAT also known as Arechclient2 is a remote access trojan first seen in November 2019.

  • Detects SectopRAT aka Arechclient2 1 IoCs
  • Drops a kernel driver into a user folder 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Places a kernel driver outside the normal driver folder, which installers may do while staging drivers; malware can do it before loading its own driver to gain kernel-level control.

  • Creates a file in the Startup directory 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    A file was written to a Windows startup folder. Files in these directories are executed automatically when a user logs on or an application initializes.

  • Executes dropped EXE 2 IoCs
  • Registers new Windows logon scripts automatically executed at logon. 1 TTPs 1 IoCs
  • Enumerates connected drives 3 TTPs 46 IoCs

    Attempts to read the root path of hard drives other than the default C: drive.

  • Drops file in Windows directory 8 IoCs
  • Event Triggered Execution: Installer Packages 2 TTPs 1 IoCs
  • Executes a command shell one-liner 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Execution of a cmd.exe one-liner (/c "close" or /k "keep") is a common script/loader stage.

  • Reads the TCP/IP host and domain name from the registry 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    The configured hostname and DNS domain identify the machine and are commonly collected to profile a host before it reports in.

  • Checks SCSI registry key(s) 3 TTPs 5 IoCs

    SCSI information is often read in order to detect sandboxing environments.

  • NTFS ADS 1 IoCs
  • Suspicious behavior: EnumeratesProcesses 2 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of AdjustPrivilegeToken 64 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of FindShellTrayWindow 7 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of SendNotifyMessage 5 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of WriteProcessMemory 4 IoCs
  • Uses Volume Shadow Copy service COM API
