RedLine Stealer is a malicious software (malware) that infiltrates computer systems and devices, often unbeknownst to users. The malware can infect systems through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, causing significant damage by stealing personal information, disrupting operations, or even holding data for ransom. RedLine Stealer became prominent in 2022, with a surge in malicious browser extensions and new techniques for browser credential theft. The malware was made readily available on the dark web, simplifying the process for attackers to extract sensitive data stored within the browser's local resources. In July 2023, an infection from RedLine Stealer was captured and analyzed by Unit 42. This analysis involved a packet capture (pcap) which provided insights into the post-infection traffic generated by this particular malware. The pcap analysis allowed researchers to delve into the methods used by RedLine Stealer, shedding light on the process of locating and extracting Command & Control (C2) configurations from various malware families. This understanding aids in developing more effective ways to detect and combat such threats. Technical analysis of the RedLine Stealer sample was conducted using tools like IDA Pro, which helped navigate to specific functions within the malware's code. This deep dive into the malware's architecture revealed selected configuration protection techniques employed by RedLine Stealer, further enhancing the understanding of its operation. The analysis also identified similarities between RedLine Stealer and other malware families like GuLoader, suggesting potential common origins or shared strategies among different types of malware.
