| Type | Reconnaissance, Downloader | |
| Description | (Palo Alto) POWERSHOWER acts as an initial reconnaissance foothold and is almost certainly used to download and execute a secondary payload with a more complete set of features. By only using this simple backdoor to establish a foothold, the attacker can hold back their most sophisticated and complex malware for later stages, making them less likely to be detected. In a nutshell, POWERSHOWER allows the attacker to: • Fingerprint the machine, and upload this information to the initial C&C. • Clean up a significant amount of forensic evidence from the dropper process, as we detail below. • Run a secondary payload, if the attacker decides the target machine is sufficiently interesting (based on analysis of the system data sent from the first beacon) | |
