Description | (Talos) In April, Cisco Talos identified an undocumented malware developed in .NET. On the analyzed samples, the malware author left two different internal names in plain text: 'DropperBackdoor' and 'Karkoff.' We decided to use the second name as the malware's moniker, as it is less generic. The malware is lightweight compared to other malware due to its small size and allows remote code execution from the C2 server. There is no obfuscation and the code can be easily disassembled. | |
