Cry Havoc and let slip dogs of war ... there's an upgraded malware server in town

a set of open-source Yara rules to help organizations flag and identify components of multiple versions of Cobalt Strike, adding that"since many threat actors rely on cracked versions of Cobalt Strike to advance their cyberattacks, we hope that by disrupting its use we can help protect organizations, their employees, and their customers around the globe."

ReversingLabs's report described Havoc Demon as malware with remote access trojan capabilities, generated by the Havoc framework. In another evasive move, Havoc's Demon DLL is loaded without the DOS and NT headers. The payload uses a modified DJB2 hashing algorithm to resolve virtual addresses of disparate NT APIs. The attackers also use the image of"Zero Two" – a character in a Japanese anime TV series – to hide the execution and activities of the Havoc Demon payload going on in the background.

The laundry list of commands includes downloading, uploading, copying, or removing files, displaying a file's contents, creating a new directory or retrieving a current one, take a screenshot, and clean up and exit the system. The C2 server manages all this through a web-based console.
