| Description | (Cylance) The RAT comprises a backdoor and rootkit component, and once active allows for a typical set of remote commands, including: • Gathering system information • Grabbing screenshots and files • Downloading additional files • Running other processes and commands • Listing and killing processes • Opening Telnet and RDP servers • Extracting Windows credentials from the current session The sample of “Hacker’s Door” analyzed by Cylance was signed with a stolen certificate, known to be used by the Winnti APT group. Its discovery within an environment is a clear indication of a broader compromise. | |
