Description | (Accenture) The SOCKSBOT implant has the following capabilities: • Enumerate processes (process list) • Take screenshots • Download, upload, write, and execute files • Create and inject into new processes • Communicate to C2 via sockets. This implant will communicate with the designated C2 server by first creating a buffer and will, on first execution, communicate to the C2 server that it has successfully infected a target by using a .php URI that is pseudo-randomly generated. SOCKSBOT uses the ObtainUserAgentString API to determine the default user-agent of the machine. | |
