TAJ MAHAL

TAJ MAHAL

Taj Mahal is a previously unknown and technically sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) espionage framework, developed by a nation-state, discovered by Kaspersky Lab in the autumn of 2018. This multi-stage framework has two stages, 'Tokyo' and 'Yokohama', and is believed to have been in use for 5 years without detection. Only one known victim has been documented, a diplomatic entity from an undisclosed Central Asian country.

The second stage includes roughly 80 different modules with various capabilities including: backdoors, loaders, orchestrators, Command and Control (C2) communicators, audio recorders, keyloggers, screen and webcam grabbers, document and cryptography key stealers, and file indexer for the victim’s machine.

Included Components

WatchPoints Document stealer, C2 communication and command processor LocalInfo Performs system reconnaissance, outputs to file titled “TAJ MAHAL” AudioRecorder Captures audio from microphone, Windows COM, VOIP and Windows Metro applications Orchestrator Update/install/uninstall, selects target processes and loads plugins Reinstaller/Injector SuicideWatcher Cleanly removes the framework after a designated time IM-Stealer Steals conversation content from chat windows of instant messaging applications Indexer Indexes files on victim drives, user profiles, removable drives Thumbnailer Makes and prepares to send thumbnails of found picture files Keylogger Keystroke logger & clipboard monitor DocumentStealer Steals printed documents from spooler queue EgressSender Sends files from output queue to C2 ClientRecon Daily stateful scan of the compromised machine, sends system changes to C2 Screenshoter Takes periodic low-resolution screenshots DocumentStealer Steal documents from fixed and removable drives and written CD images WebcamSnapshot Periodically takes webcamera snapshots

MATRYOSHKA

MATRYOSHKA

The favored multi-staged attack tool of the CopyKittens, a mid-level group with suspected ties to the Iranian government. While not a group formed by high-end computer and security experts, their code is carefully picked from public repositories and online forums. They are effective and advanced in a few notable ways:

• Attack methods are stealthy, multi-staged

• Data exfiltration is performed over DNS protocol

• Tools are "homemade"

• Constant development of tools helps evade anti-malware detection

MATRYOSHKA was written as a multi-stage framework, with each part of it built to implement its subsequent step.

Anatomy of an Attack:

1. Spear Phishing

Attacks are initiated by sending an infected document file as an email attachment. The attached Microsoft Word document contains the first link in the attack chain: a maliciously crafted OLE binary object.

2. Deployment of Matryoshka, the three part attack framework:

Dropper

• Obfuscated code evades anti-malware tools

• Signals to command and control (C2) that the dropper payload was executed

• Launches the loader to execute functions on the compromised system

• Scans compromised system for analysis, forensics and detection tools, reports back to C2

Reflective Loader

• Employs anti-debugging and anti-sandboxing techniques before executing

• Abuses Runtime API Address resolver for code injection

• Covert DLL injection of Remote Access Trojan (RAT) libraries

• Creates a Persistence file on disk

Remote Access Trojan (RAT) component

• Configuration of the Reflective Loader to survive reboots and process exits

• DNS Command and Control communication

• Common RAT functionalities—key logging, credential harvesting, data exfiltration...
