GoginRAT is a Go-based modular remote-access trojan used in the SilkParasite cyberespionage operation. It uses a malicious loader DLL to decrypt and start its main orchestrator, separates command-and-control communications into a dedicated transmitter component, and retrieves functionality on demand to minimize its initial footprint. Its plugins provide file-system operations and shell access on compromised systems. GoginRAT has architectural similarities to NomadRAT despite being implemented in a different language. It was used against government organizations in Central Asia and Georgia in activity assessed with medium confidence to be China-nexus; SilkParasite has not been conclusively attributed to a single named threat actor.
Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
1 distinct threat actor attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
The IOC set identifies info[.]ktnet[.]org and 193[.]29[.]56[.]205 as GoginRAT C2 infrastructure, plus malicious SvcLog.inf samples.
12 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Rather than using one noisy implant, the actors maintained several tools, changed their supporting files between builds, and used cloud services and normal-looking traffic to make investigation harder.
"evo[.]hoster-kg[.]com NodeEdgeRAT C2 domain" and "hxxps://uzrailway[.]devon-uz[.]com:443 BloodAlchemy C2 URL"; numerous SpiceRAT, NomadRAT, and GoginRAT C2 URLs, domains, and IP addresses are also listed.
It runs its command channel over trusted services like Google Drive, hides inside legitimately signed applications, and keeps its footprint deliberately small.

A Go-based remote-access trojan in the SilkParasite toolset. The deployed binary retained Go test functions and used a weak placeholder AES key, artifacts assessed as potentially reflecting AI-assisted development.
Remote access trojan with on-demand function retrieval; the report also describes a loader DLL used to decrypt and launch a Go-based orchestrator.
A previously undocumented remote access Trojan used by SilkParasite against Central Asian government targets. The article highlights signs of AI-assisted development, including leftover Go test functions and a sequential placeholder encryption key.
