Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
3 distinct threat actors attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
For example, in the MIPS version of SecondDate, the constant 0x9E3779B9 is used with addu... In the PPC version of SecondDate, 0x9E3779B9 is used with addis / addi. In the ARM version of BSecondDateCommon, 0x9E3779B9 is used with add.

8 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
NOPEN Backdoor? A RAT or post-exploitation shell consisting of a client and a server that encrypts data using RC6 ... jackpop bind shell for SPARC hi UNIX bind shell
According to a internal NSA presentation, SECONDDATE redirects a web user trying to visit a legitimate website – the agency uses CNN.com as an example – to an NSA-managed server dubbed FOXACID, which scans the target computer and infects it with surveillance and remote-control malware.
Among the files leaked by whistleblower Snowden in 2013 is a draft NSA manual on how to redirect people's web browsers using a man-in-the-middle tool called SECONDDATE. This piece of software meddles with connections in real-time so targets quietly download malware from NSA-controlled servers.
In a separate mission, SECONDDATE was also used to pull over 100MB of data from Hezbollah Unit 1800, a group set up to support Palestinian terrorist groups.
