A phishing attempt with an unusual archive format named ZPAQ leads to an interesting malware downloader. We debloat the sample and decrypt the downloaded .wav file with binary refinery. It turns out to be an injection DLL. We use powershell to execute it and deal with its obfuscation. Although the injector fails, we unpack the payload.
