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.
