Exalyze.io is a malware analysis platform we developped to help us as well as our fellow malware analysts and reversers during their hunting! Our goal is also to speed-up and streamline the firsts step of a sample analysis.
In this post we will showcase some of its features by analyzing a new strain of malware we dubbed Sentel Agent.
During an incident response for one of our clients, we stumbled upon a server compromised
by the now relatively documented 1234 perfctl malware.
While it’s not uncommon to find documented threats during incident responses, we discovered that the attacker used new initial access and persistence methods. In this blogpost we will share the newly uncovered knowledge about the threat actor Tools Tactics and Procedures.

In this article, we will go a step further to explore what can be done about LocalServer DCOM objects, how to instantiate them and directly connect to their interfaces without using the COM proxy clients normally rely on!
This will give us an excuse to explore some COM internals, understand part of the combase DLL & write more fun python code !
Read more...We recently discovered an novel undetected implant family targeting Linux servers, which we dubbed Mélofée.
We linked with high confidence this malware to chinese state sponsored APT groups, in particular the notorious Winnti group.
In this blogpost we will first analyze the capabilities offered by this malware family, which include a kernel mode rootkit, and then deep dive in an infrastructure pivot maze to discover related adversary toolsets.
Read more...We recently found a new passive backdoor targeting Linux and Solaris servers, wich can use TCP, UDP or ICMP packets as it’s triggers.
In this article we will dive into BPF in order to assess it’s capabilities :D
