[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 518530, member: 7463"] h- Regarding the RAT, everything was done prior to the system reboot. The fact that the dll was detected was actually trivial, as on reboot the the dll would be loaded by the legitimate svchost. It's actually a typical higher quality RAT with the major difference being the certificate used. If I may go off on a tangent, this sort of thing is considered a Clear and Present danger in certain quarters. The nightmare scenario being that an unfriendly government can co-opt (or even start) a popular security company. Then the RAT would have a pristine certificate and can connect at will to Command without anyone being the wiser ("It's only a definition update! What are you worried about?"). I'm actually glad I'm not in the field anymore- Ignorance is Bliss... [/QUOTE]
