Latest Mustang Panda Arsenal: Toneshell, StarProxy, PAKLOG, CorKLOG, and SplatCloak
Mustang Panda, a threat actor group, has developed new tools including two keyloggers (PAKLOG and CorKLOG) and an EDR evasion driver (SplatCloak). PAKLOG monitors keystrokes and clipboard data, using a custom encoding scheme. CorKLOG captures keystrokes, encrypts data with RC4, and establishes persistence through services or scheduled tasks. SplatCloak disables kernel-level notification callbacks for Windows Defender and Kaspersky drivers, employing obfuscation techniques like control flow flattening and mixed boolean arithmetic. Along with those tools, the group has been observed using updated versions of ToneShell and a new tool called StarProxy. ToneShell, a backdoor, now features changes in its FakeTLS C2 communication protocol and client identifier storage methods. StarProxy, a lateral movement tool, uses the FakeTLS protocol to proxy traffic and facilitate attacker communications.

Inside BRUTED: Black Basta (RaaS) Used Automated Brute Forcing Framework to Target Edge Network Devices
Black Basta, a ransomware-as-a-service group, has been using an automated brute forcing framework called BRUTED to target edge network devices since 2023. The framework performs internet scanning and credential stuffing against firewalls and VPN solutions in corporate networks. Black Basta prioritizes high-impact industries, particularly the Business Services sector, to amplify operational disruptions. The group's internal communications were leaked, exposing their infrastructure and operational details. BRUTED targets various remote-access and VPN solutions, using proxy rotation, credential generation, and distributed execution to scale attacks. Black Basta exploits vulnerabilities in edge devices for initial access, then targets ESXi hypervisors to encrypt file systems and disrupt virtual machines, maximizing operational impact and ransom leverage.

Cum puteți afla dacă vă aflați în spatele unui server proxy?
Un proxy este un server sau o aplicație care acționează ca un intermediar între un client și un alt server. Acesta servește ca o poartă de acces între client și internet și permite utilizatorilor să acceseze resurse online, păstrându-și ascunse identitatea, locația și alte informații personale. Proxy-urile sunt adesea folosite pentru a spori securitatea, confidențialitatea și pentru a adăuga filtre/firewall la rețeaua dumneavoastră.
