Making oRAT, Go

Presented at Objective by the Sea version 5.0 (2022), Oct. 7, 2022, 4:40 p.m. (25 minutes)

oRAT is a new piece of macOS malware, written in Go, belonging to a recently uncovered APT group, "Earth Berberoka". After first addressing challenges of reversing Go-based malware, we will provide the first comprehensive analysis of this intriguing threat …but not in the traditional way. \n\n Rather we’ll highlight the creation of a custom command & control server that allowed us to uncover the malware’s full functionality, simply by asking the right questions!
