Agent.DNE is a Turla backdoor associated with the Turla espionage group, also known as Snake or Uroburos. The provided content identifies it as a Windows PE backdoor and highlights it as an early example of Turla’s use of satellite-based command-and-control infrastructure. A referenced sample (MD5: 0328dedfce54e185ad395ac44aa4223c) is described as 91,136 bytes with a compilation timestamp of Thu Nov 22 14:34:15 2007. The malware’s configuration reportedly contained a hardcoded or encrypted C2 IP address, 84.11.79.6, which was noted to fall within satellite IP space associated with IABG mbH. In the broader Turla tradecraft described in the content, satellite-linked C2 was used to make infrastructure harder to seize, attribute, or physically locate by abusing downstream-only DVB-S satellite Internet links and pairing passive reception of unencrypted satellite traffic with spoofed upstream responses over conventional Internet access. The content does not provide a full capability list for Agent.DNE itself beyond identifying it as a backdoor, but it directly links the malware to Turla’s long-running satellite C2 operations observed across satellite providers in the Middle East and Africa.
