#lokibot — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Today in our section on "uncoventional #Malware delivery": #ARJ archives! 📦
ARJ (Archived by Robert Jung) has been around since the MS-DOS days and is occasionally used to deliver e.g. #AgentTesla, #Formbook or #Guloader

You can recognize ARJ archives by their Magic: 60 EA
Extraction can be handled with 7zip for example.
For more information on the file format check out Ange Albertini's excellent graphic representation: https://twitter.com/angealbertini/status/1619006171360395264

As an example we dug up a #Lokibot sample from last year where the delivery chain looked like this: ARJ --> RAR --> EXE
To fool the victims into opening the next file they used the common #doubleExtension tick, e.g. .pdf.exe
