Analysis of Konni RAT: Stealth, Persistence, and Anti-Analysis Techniques

SUMMARY :

Konni RAT, a sophisticated remote access Trojan targeting Windows systems, employs a multi-stage attack process using batch files, PowerShell scripts, and VBScript. It exploits Windows Explorer limitations, obfuscates file paths, dynamically generates URLs, and uses temporary files to erase activity traces. The malware efficiently exfiltrates critical data to remote servers and maintains persistence through registry modifications. Key tactics include exploiting file extension hiding, the 260-character limit in LNK files, and complex variables for detection evasion. Konni RAT's modular design and advanced strategies present substantial risks to system security, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures and proactive defense strategies.
