Threats Tagged 'salat stealer'

Salat Stealer is a Go-based information stealer that performs deep system reconnaissance and extracts sensitive data from compromised hosts. It targets browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and communication platforms like Discord and Steam. The malware features advanced surveillance capabilities including desktop streaming, audio/video capture through microphone and webcam, and local file exfiltration. A notable distribution campaign bundled Salat Stealer with Xeno Executor, a gaming utility tool, transforming it into a full compromise vector. The malware employs sophisticated evasion techniques including disabling Windows Defender features through multiple PowerShell scripts, establishing persistence via registry run keys, and using token impersonation of lsass.exe to obtain elevated privileges. Loaders written in batch script and Rust programming language obfuscate deployment and bypass security controls.

Salat Stealer, a sophisticated Go-based infostealer targeting Windows systems, has been identified. It exfiltrates browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallet data, and session information while employing advanced evasion techniques. The malware uses UPX packing, process masquerading, registry run keys, and scheduled tasks for persistence and evasion. Operated under a Malware-as-a-Service model by Russian-speaking actors, it leverages resilient C2 infrastructure. The stealer targets multiple browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, and Telegram sessions. It communicates with its C2 server using UDP and HTTPS, with multiple fallback domains for redundancy. The control panel supports real-time interaction through WebSockets and includes features for remote command execution and system manipulation.
