Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
6 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Once active, OctLurk collects host information, establishes encrypted communications with its C2 infrastructure
Alongside the two backdoors, the attackers deployed LurkProxy... Its main role is to relay network traffic through a TLS-encrypted connection, operating as either a SOCKS5 or transparent reverse proxy.
4 indicators attributed across vendor reports, sandbox runs, and researcher write-ups. Full values are available in Mallory.
IPs, domains, and DNS infrastructure linked to this family.
File hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) from samples and reports.
4 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
A companion utility used as a reverse proxy that establishes encrypted communications with attacker-controlled infrastructure and forwards network traffic between compromised systems and remote C2 servers to obscure attacker infrastructure and operations.
A separate implant used alongside OctLurk and SilkLurk to relay network traffic over TLS as either a SOCKS5 proxy or a transparent reverse proxy. It is described as similar in design to OctLurk but not itself a backdoor.
A specialized malicious utility used to proxy network traffic through a target address. It supports SOCKS5 and transparent proxy modes and is used alongside the OctLurk/SilkLurk intrusion set.
A specialized implant related to OctLurk that proxies network traffic rather than acting as a full backdoor. It listens locally, establishes a TLS-encrypted connection to C2, and supports reverse proxying in SOCKS5 or transparent proxy modes using a proprietary compressed and double-XOR-encrypted protocol.
