Tool: Uroburos

Names	Uroburos Urouros Turla Snake
Category	Malware
Type	Rootkit, Backdoor, Info stealer, Exfiltration
Description	(G Data) Uroburos is a rootkit, composed of two files, a driver and an encrypted virtual file system. The rootkit is able to take control of an infected machine, execute arbitrary commands and hide system activities. It can steal information (most notably: files) and it is also able to capture network traffic. Its modular structure allows extending it with new features easily, which makes it not only highly sophisticated but also highly flexible and dangerous. Uroburos' driver part is extremely complex and is designed to be very discrete and very difficult to identify.
