Dissecting a RAT. Analysis of the AndroRAT.

This is the fourth blog of a series analyzing the network traffic of Android RATs from our Android Mischief Dataset [more information here], a dataset of network traffic from Android phones infected with Remote Access Trojans (RAT). In this blog post we provide the analysis of the network traffic of the RAT05-AndroRAT [download here]. The previous blogs analyzed Android Tester RAT, DroidJack RAT, and SpyMax RAT.

Writing a SLIPS Module

Writing a SLIPS Module

In this blogpost, we will walk through the process of developing a new SLIPS module: the VirusTotal (VT) module. This module will listen for new IP addresses and check them against VirusTotal API. VirusTotal returns detailed information on each IP, and the module will process this information and save it to the shared database.

Notes From The Lab: Sudden Increase of Traffic to Port 445

Notes From The Lab: Sudden Increase of Traffic to Port 445

Today @VessOnSecurity tweeted that they have seen an increase on the number of SMB attacks in their honeypot (See Figure 1). We checked our telemetry and indeed we saw an increase on the incoming traffic to our honeypots on port 445. We will describe in this blog post the observations from our telemetry.

Project Ludus - Smart Honeypot Manager for Collaborative Defense

In this blogpost we introduce our tool which uses honeypots as a defense mechanism based on the game theoretical model of behavior of the attackers. Ludus fully automates honeypot deployment and management and visualize results in the level of individual routers. [Read more]
