MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

13 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Execution

2 techniques
T1059.001PowerShellEvidence1

Despite being native C++ (MSVC 14.44, Visual Studio 2022), the RAT delegates complex operations like screenshots and file downloads to PowerShell... Screenshots : powershell -WindowStyle Hidden ... File downloads : powershell -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(...)"

T1106Native APIEvidence1

Execution Flow 1. Execution (resoker.exe) | +-- FreeConsole() -- Hide console window +-- CreateMutexW() -- Global\ResokerSystemMutex (single instance) +-- IsDebuggerPresent() -- Anti-debugging check +-- AdjustTokenPrivileges() -- Acquire SeDebugPrivilege

Persistence

1 technique
T1547.001Registry Run Keys / Startup FolderEvidence1

When the /startup command is issued, Resoker copies itself to a location and adds a registry run key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run for automatic execution at user login.

Privilege Escalation

2 techniques
T1547.001Registry Run Keys / Startup FolderEvidence1

When the /startup command is issued, Resoker copies itself to a location and adds a registry run key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run for automatic execution at user login.

T1548.002Bypass User Account ControlEvidence1

The manifest requests asInvoker execution level, meaning it does not auto-elevate and must use the /elevate command to request administrator privileges via UAC... /uac_min Disable UAC prompts Registry: ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin=0, PromptOnSecureDesktop=0

Stealth

2 techniques
T1564.003Hidden WindowEvidence1

FreeConsole() -- Hide console window ... RegisterClassW and CreateWindowExW create the hidden message window (class name: ResokerHiddenClass) needed for the keyboard hook's message pump.

T1622Debugger EvasionEvidence1

+-- IsDebuggerPresent() -- Anti-debugging check ... The IsDebuggerPresent check is the most elementary anti-debugging technique available and is bypassed by virtually every analysis environment.

Credential Access

1 technique
T1056.001KeyloggingEvidence1

[Thread 1] Keylogger | +-- SetWindowsHookExW() -- Low-level keyboard hook | +-- GetAsyncKeyState() -- Backup polling | +-- Output: resoker.log -- Timestamped keystroke log

Discovery

2 techniques
T1057Process DiscoveryEvidence1

CreateToolhelp32Snapshot/Process32FirstW/Process32NextW enables the RAT to find and kill analysis tools.

T1622Debugger EvasionEvidence1

+-- IsDebuggerPresent() -- Anti-debugging check ... The IsDebuggerPresent check is the most elementary anti-debugging technique available and is bypassed by virtually every analysis environment.

Collection

2 techniques
T1056.001KeyloggingEvidence1

[Thread 1] Keylogger | +-- SetWindowsHookExW() -- Low-level keyboard hook | +-- GetAsyncKeyState() -- Backup polling | +-- Output: resoker.log -- Timestamped keystroke log

T1113Screen CaptureEvidence1

Command Set Command Function Implementation /screenshot Capture full screen PowerShell: System.Windows.Forms screenshot, sent via /sendPhoto

Command and Control

2 techniques
T1071.001Web ProtocolsEvidence1

Resoker uses the Telegram Bot API exclusively for command and control... WININET.dll ... InternetOpenA, InternetOpenUrlA, InternetReadFile ... handle all HTTP communication with the Telegram Bot API.

T1102.002Bidirectional CommunicationEvidence1

The Telegram Bot API communication follows a straightforward pattern: ... Polling : HTTP GET to https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates?offset=<N>&timeout=5 ... Text response : POST to /sendMessage ... File upload : POST to /sendPhoto

Exfiltration

1 technique
T1041Exfiltration Over C2 ChannelEvidence1

Command Set ... /screenshot Capture full screen ... sent via /sendPhoto ... Text response : POST to /sendMessage with chat_id and parse_mode=HTML File upload : POST to /sendPhoto with multipart form data

Other

1 technique
T1562.001Disable or Modify ToolsEvidence1

Command dispatch -- /screenshot, /download, /block_taskmgr, etc. +-- Process killing -- taskmgr.exe, procexp.exe, ProcessHacker.exe ... /block_taskmgr Disable Task Manager Registry: DisableTaskMgr = 1
