NanoCore RAT is a malicious software (malware) that is designed to exploit and harm computer systems. It infiltrates systems through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often without the user's knowledge. Once it has infected a system, NanoCore RAT can steal personal information, disrupt operations, or even hold data hostage for ransom. The final payload of this malware attack is a dropper Trojan that installs the NanoCore RAT onto the victim's device. Once installed, the Remote Access Trojan (RAT) maintains a connection with the attackers' command-and-control (C2) server. During the attack, various plug-ins are dropped into the system, including the Remcos RAT, XWorm, NanoCore RAT, and a stealer designed specifically for crypto wallets. These plug-ins are designed to further exploit the compromised system and provide the attacker with additional control and access. Among these plugins, three RATs stand out due to their varied and nefarious purposes. The Remcos RAT allows attackers to gain complete control over the system, enabling them to capture keystrokes, screenshots, credentials, and other sensitive information. The NanoCore RAT provides remote access and control over the victim's computer. Lastly, Xworm can either load ransomware onto the system or act as a persistent backdoor, ensuring continued unauthorized access to the infected device.
