Stix Simda — Wire Packet Triage

Deep-packet investigation of Simda botnet infection telemetry. Reconstructs infected TCP conversations, DNS fast-flux lookups, Flash-based exploit delivery, and encrypted second-stage C2 beaconing.

#Wireshark #Simda-Trojan #TCP-Streams #C2-Analysis
TRACE // 02 BANKING BOTNET

Zeus / Zbot Banking Trojan

Dissection of Zeus banking malware network traces. Uncovers webinject configurations, fake SSL certificates, form-grabbing POST requests, and decentralized P2P command communication.

#Zeus #Zbot #Credential-Theft #XOR-Decrypt
TRACE // 03 MODULAR STEALER

Emotet Modular Trojan Network Triage

Tracing email malicious macro delivery through PowerShell stage-1 downloaders. Analysis of JA3 TLS fingerprinting, anomalous certificate signatures, and decentralized C2 communication channels.

#Emotet #JA3-Hash #PowerShell-Drop #TLS-Inspection
TRACE // 04 EXPLOIT KIT PIPELINE

Angler Exploit Kit & EITEST Gates

Deconstructing Angler EK's infection chain: 32x32 gate redirects, obfuscated browser exploits, Diffie-Hellman key exchange over plain HTTP, and fileless in-memory payload execution.

#Angler-EK #EITEST #Fileless-Injection #Memory-Shellcode
TRACE // 05 DRIVE-BY INFECTION

Neutrino EK Delivers ZBOT / NEUS

Wire analysis of Neutrino Exploit Kit gate traffic via WebHop. Tracks compromised landing pages, malicious SWF payload delivery, anti-VM sandbox evasion checks, and dropped binary triage.

#Neutrino-EK #Flash-Exploit #WebHop-Gates #Anti-Analysis
TRACE // 06 PORT EVASION

Sweet Orange EK Over Non-Standard Ports

Forensics of Sweet Orange EK communication over unusual TCP ports 9633 and 60012. Analyzes proxy evasion attempts, direct-to-IP URI patterns, and Java vulnerability trigger sequences.

#Sweet-Orange #Port-9633 #Port-60012 #Proxy-Bypass
TRACE // 07 MALVERTISING ATTACK

RIG-EK Pushing Kronos Banking Malware

Tracing malvertising ad network injection into RIG Exploit Kit landing pages. Dissects RC4-encrypted payload extraction, Flash vulnerability exploitation, and Kronos persistence keys.

#RIG-EK #Kronos #Malvertising #RC4-Decrypt
TRACE // 08 WATERING HOLE

CAPHAW Drive-By to Styx Exploit Kit

Wire capture triage of watering hole compromise delivering the CAPHAW (Shylock) banking malware family. Analyzes intermediate gate redirection hops and cookie token authentication.

#CAPHAW #Styx-EK #Watering-Hole #HTTP-Tokens
TRACE // 09 DETECTION ENGINEERING

Snort & Suricata Signature Engineering

Authoring custom IDS/IPS rule sets matching protocol anomalies, URI patterns, hex byte signatures, and beacon periodicity uncovered during packet analysis of active malicious infrastructure.

#Suricata #Snort-Rules #PCRE #EVE-JSON
TRACE // 10 BINARY TRIAGE

Static & Dynamic Malware Reverse Triage

Post-capture binary extraction and execution in controlled sandbox environments. Inspects PE header sections, import address tables (IAT), extracted strings, API hooking, and IOC generation.
