I recently analysed a new emerging RAT named Moonrise. Moonrise is a Golang binary that appears to be a remote-control malware tool that lets the attacker keep a live connection to an infected Windows host, send commands, collect information, and return results in real-time. My analysis also suggest surveillance-related features such as keylogging, clipboard monitoring, crypto focused data handling. At the time of the analysis, this was fully undetected by all and any AV solutions. submitted by /u/Deciqher_ [link] [ ]
