Python310.dll is a malicious software (malware) that infiltrates systems by installing a trojanized version of itself and establishing persistence through a run key named "Python". This is achieved by manipulating the value to be "C:\Users\Public\Music\python\pythonw.exe". The malware can enter your system through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often without your knowledge. Once inside, it has the potential to steal personal information, disrupt operations, or even hold your data hostage for ransom. Upon successful execution of pythonw.exe, an obfuscated, modified version of python310.dll is loaded. This trojanized python310.dll contains a Cobalt Strike beacon - a form of malware that enables an attacker to control the infected system remotely. When the executable pythonw.exe starts, it triggers this beacon, thereby establishing a connection to an external server with the IP address 167[.]88[.]164[.]141. The python310.dll file includes a Cobalt Strike beacon that establishes a connection to a command-and-control (C2) server. This allows the attacker to send commands to and receive data from the compromised system, providing them with unauthorized access and control. The pythonw.exe loads a modified, obfuscated version of python310.dll with a Cobalt Strike beacon that enables this connection, posing a significant threat to the security of the infected system.
