Source: kam193 (c81380140d3b7a9d5dddf19a386bb1fc8b9b55044fefc32997fc3d2af9969fcb)
When running the module, basic information about the user and its location are collected and sent to the author. This is hidden from the user as the package prints a message suggesting it's outdated.
Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.
Campaign: 2024-09-botnetv2
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
-
A Telegram webhook is used to send collected data.
