Security expert Marco Ramilli published the findings of a quick analysis of the webmask project standing behind the DNS attacks implemented by APT34 (aka OilRig and HelixKitten ). According to Duo, “ OilRig delivered Trojans that use DNS tunneling for command and control in attacks since at least May 2016. Leaked Source code.
Distributed in a ZIP container (a copy is available here ) the interface is quite intuitive: the Microsoft exchange address and its version shall be provided (even if in the code a DNS-domain discovery mode function is available). I am a computer security scientist with an intensive hacking background.
Indeed we might observe a File-based command and control (a quite unusual solution) structure, a VBS launcher, a PowerShell Payload and a covert channel over DNS engine. According to Duo, “ OilRig delivered Trojans that use DNS tunneling for command and control in attacks since at least May 2016. It is not a TXT request.
T1094) mainly developed using DNS resolutions (which is actually one of the main characteristic of the attacker group). They begun development by introducing crafted communication protocol over DNS and later they added, to such a layer, encoding and encryption self build protocols. About the author: Marco Ramilli, Founder of Yoroi.

Autopsy is its GUI and a digital forensics platform used widely in public and private computer system investigations to boost TSK’s abilities.

1955 — Phone Hacker — David Condon whistles his “Davy Crockett Cat” and “Canary Bird Call Flute” into his phone, testing a theory on how phone systems work. 1962 — Allan Scherr — MIT sets up the first computer passwords, for student privacy and time limits. It is thought to be the first computer virus. . years of probation.
If so we are facing a state-sponsored group with high capabilities in developing persistence and hidden communication channels (for example over DNS) but without a deep interest in exploiting services.

Building a re-directors or proxy chains is quite useful for attackers in order to evade Intrusion Prevention Systems and/or protections infrastructures based upon IPs or DNS blocks.
