AhnLab published an analysis of a campaign observed by the CertGraveyard in December. Great to see more details.

An actor using signer "CÔNG TY TNHH XB FLOW TECHNOLOGIES" leveraged a range of RMM tools and regularly contested abuse complaints.

The CertGraveyard is now being leveraged by MagicSword.

MagicSword makes use of certificates we report and blocks them within your environment.

I was really amazed by the work they do to block RMM and bad drivers. Now this further enables orgs to block malicious signers.

We've reached 2,000 entries in the CertGraveyard database.

The 2,000th entry was "Auto Posto Silvestre Comercio de Combustiveis LTDA" (fuel sales), a certificate issued to a cybercriminal, used to target Brazil with a fake PDF "Requisitos_para_regularizar_sua_empresa.exe".

Does anyone know VirusTotal user "bsforvt727" (pronounced "bs for vt 727")?

I feel like we could be friends, if we aren't already.

They consistently leave comments and downvote stuff that I then see a day or two later.

Checkpoint published research on VoidLink C2 framework.
They call it "advanced malware framework"; but maybe I'm not sure what "advanced" means in this context.

Came across a low detection malware which seems YARA resistant. Currently in use by ransomware actor.
I'll post some thoughts, but would love suggestions from others.

I'll explain the malware and show the best I could come up with.

VirusTotal uses CAPE sandbox to identify many malware families and determine if they can extract the malware's configuration. Since they use CAPE, we can often see their logic. Today, we'll suggest edits to a rule for AgentTesla.

In looking at automatic YARA generation, yarGen-Go is a must. Just released by @cyb3rops, it is a rewrite and advancement from the original yarGen.

We'll look at the same malware from day 10; a targeted HavocC2 loader with decoy.

There are a few lines of thinking around automatic YARA generation. I'm exploring these as part of this challenge. Today's we'll look at MCRIT.

MCRIT asks what do we learn by comparing samples? Can we find functions unique to the family?

For many years, many attackers tried to keep their binaries small. However, the others found the opposite works too: extremely large binaries can cause problems with analysis.

What can be done about these large executables?

In December and again in January, an unknown actor replaced the download on EmEditor's website with a malicious installer. Each time, the download was a trojan installer with a valid code-signing signature.

One heavy user of code-signing certificates is Rhysida Ransomware.

In June, I created a YARA rule focusing on their malware to help me find and report their certificates. To do so, I had to create a YARA rule on the Rich PE Header.
