by William Oldert // BHIS Intern BHIS had a problem. We needed an environment for students to learn WiFi hacking safely. Our original solution used interconnected physical network gear and computers to create the needed signals. The requirement for multiple such setups to properly run a class with was costly, however, and transport was a concern as well. We discovered a program called Mininet, which creates an interactive virtual network, and began looking for ways to utilize it in labs and teaching material. Wondering if this might be the solution we were in sore need of, a project was…
The new Golang backdoor uses Telegram for command and control. Netskope discovers malware that exploits Telegram’s API for malicious purposes. Learn how this threat works and how to protect yourself. Cybersecurity researchers at Netskope have discovered a new, functional, but possibly still-in-development, Golang-based backdoor that uses Telegram for command and control (C2). This malware (Trojan.Generic.37477095), apparently of Russian origin, takes advantage of cloud services like Telegram, which are easy for attackers to use and difficult for researchers to monitor. This method of C2 communication avoids the need for dedicated attacker infrastructure. Other cloud platforms like OneDrive, GitHub, and Dropbox could…
