Neo-reGeorg is an open-source web tunneling toolkit abused by threat actors to establish proxy access through compromised web servers and network appliances. Its server-side components tunnel SOCKS5 proxy traffic over HTTP or HTTPS, allowing operators to reach internal resources through ordinary web connections. Observed deployments include ASP.NET web shells on Microsoft Exchange servers, JSP and JSPX components in Oracle PeopleSoft environments, and installations on compromised VPN appliances.
Attackers use Neo-reGeorg after initial compromise to support internal reconnaissance, lateral movement, continued access, and traffic relay. It has also formed part of layered proxy infrastructure used for data exfiltration. Observed users include MirrorFace, also known as Earth Kasha; Shedding Zmiy; and ShinyHunters, tracked as UNC6240. ShinyHunters deployed it on compromised PeopleSoft hosts to pivot into internal networks. Shedding Zmiy also deployed a Neo-reGeorg web shell as an in-memory virtual ASP.NET resource through its BADSTATE framework. Components of Neo-reGeorg are incorporated into GhostContainer, an Exchange backdoor used by NightEagle. These uses reflect adoption of a publicly available toolkit rather than an exclusive association with any single actor.
