Tool: Downeks

Names	Downeks
Category	Malware
Type	Downloader
Description	(Palo Alto) The initial infection vector in this attack is not clear, but it results in installing the “Downeks” downloader, which in turn infects the victim computer with the “QuasarRAT”. Downeks uses third party websites to determine the external IP of the victim machine, possibly to determine victim location with GeoIP. It also drops decoy documents in an attempt to camouflage the attack.
