In this month’s Bypassing Antivirus feature of Hackercool Magazine our readers will learn about a Crypter type malware dropper known as Exocet. A Crypter is a software that is used to make malware undetectable. A crypter performs functions such as encrypting, obfuscating and manipulating the code of the malware to make it undetectable. EXOCET is one such crypter-type malware dropper that can be used to recycle easily detectable malware payloads. EXOCET achieves this by encrypting those malware files using AES-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) and then create a dropper file for a majority of target architectures and platforms. Written in Golang programming language, the steps involved in making malware undetectable by EXOCET are, 1. It first takes malware that is easily detectable by Anti Virus engines as input.2. It then encrypts this…

Many of the victims of the above mentioned Trickbot hacking attack, received an email with a HTML file as an attachment. As the victim opened the HTML file in his browser, it dropped a password protected zip file. This zip file contained malicious Javascript file. After he opened this zip file with the password provided in the HTMl attachment, Javascript ran a encoded Powershell command which downloaded the Trickbot malware. But what exactly is HTML smuggling? Most of the hacking attacks deliver malicious payload to the networks by trying to bypass the perimeter firewall. However, this isn’t always successful. HTML smuggling is a method that bypasses perimeter security devices by generating the malicious payload behind the firewall. This malicious payload can be a dropper that can be used to down-load…

A DOS attack stands for Denial Of Service Attack. As the name of the attack implies, this attack is used to deny a service to legitimate users. Wireless Denial Of Service Attack is an attack performed on the communication between the wireless access point and clients of that wireless access point. There may be many reasons for performing a DOS attack on Wireless networks. The first being the simplicity with which a DOS attack can be performed on wireless networks. Many attackers perform a DOS attack on a Wireless network to deny the access of this service to legitimate users and forcing them to connect to a EVIL TWIN. In this article, readers will learn about four tools which can be used to perform a DOS attack on Wireless networks.…
