Summary

Hide ▲

DEEP#DOOR is a newly disclosed Python-based backdoor framework that can keep persistent access to compromised Windows hosts while stealing browser, SSH, and cloud credentials. The malware uses install_obf.bat to disable security controls, extract svc.py, and plant persistence through Startup scripts, registry Run keys, scheduled tasks, and optional WMI subscriptions. It then connects to bore[.]pub for C2, enabling remote command execution, surveillance, and multiple anti-analysis evasion techniques. Researchers say the activity appears limited and somewhat targeted, but the framework is built for long-term post-exploitation use.

    Securonix discloses DEEP#DOOR Python backdoor framework

    Initial Disclosure

    Securonix disclosed DEEP#DOOR, a Python-based backdoor framework for Windows that uses install_obf.bat to disable security controls, extract svc.py, establish persistence through Startup folder scripts, registry Run keys, scheduled tasks, and optional WMI subscriptions, and connect to bore[.]pub for tunneling-based command-and-control. The framework supports remote command execution, keylogging, clipboard monitoring, screenshot capture, webcam access, ambient audio recording, browser credential theft, SSH key extraction, and cloud credential theft from Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, while using anti-analysis and defense-evasion techniques such as sandbox, debugger, and VM detection, AMSI and ETW patching, NTDLL unhooking, Microsoft Defender tampering, SmartScreen bypass, PowerShell logging suppression, command-line wiping, timestamp stomping, and log clearing.
