During a recent incident response engagement, we responded to a single-host infection handed over to us by the SOC. The user downloaded a malicious “Remote Desktop Connection Manager”, a legitimate tool developed by Microsoft, but attackers were now misusing the brand. After the infection, the attackers had full access to the infected device. The RAT was ChainScript, as Nicely depicted here. [1] As soon as we took over this case, we began hunting inside the network for traces of lateral movement and/or similar techniques (TTPs, IOCs). Additionally, we found 3 additional infected computers with the same malware, with infections occurring in a short time span.
