ShadowAgent is a remote access Trojan (RAT) referenced in reporting on South Asian cyber-espionage activity. It is described as a Windows RAT and has been attributed to the DoNot Team (also known as Brainworm). Reporting notes that ShadowAgent was identified as a new RAT in use and that its digital signature shows correlations with malware used in campaigns linked to Patchwork (Maha Grass), specifically Spyder and StreamSpy samples. One report states that 360 Threat Intelligence Center flagged an executable named "Annexure.exe" as ShadowAgent in November 2025. Based on the provided content, ShadowAgent is associated with targeted espionage operations in the South Asian geopolitical context, where related campaigns targeted government, academic, strategic, and defense-sector entities in India and Pakistan. No additional high-confidence technical details on ShadowAgent’s infection chain, persistence, command-and-control protocol, or specific capabilities are directly provided in the content beyond its classification as a RAT and its attribution to DoNot Team/Brainworm.
