NosyLogger is a C#/.NET keylogger used in the toolset of the China-aligned APT group LongNosedGoblin. ESET assessed it as a modified version of the open-source DuckSharp keylogger; specifically, reporting notes that it does not send emails or translate logged keys into the Cyrillic alphabet, unlike DuckSharp. It is used to log keystrokes, supporting credential theft and long-term monitoring of user activity. Reporting also states that it stores encrypted keystroke logs locally and checks for debuggers. LongNosedGoblin has targeted government entities in Japan and across Southeast Asia since at least 2023, and NosyLogger was observed alongside other group tooling including NosyDownloader, NosyHistorian, NosyDoor, NosyStealer, ReverseSocks5, and an argument runner. ESET reported that LongNosedGoblin likely used NosyDownloader to deploy NosyLogger. The malware is associated with cyber-espionage activity against government networks. No specific IoCs for NosyLogger are provided in the supplied content.
