TONEDEAF is a backdoor that communicates with its\nCommand and Control server via HTTP in order to receive and execute commands. It was\nmentioned in FireEye’s recent report about an ongoing APT34 operation, as one of the group’s\ncustom tools. We have named the new variant TONEDEAF 2.0.\nTONEDEAF 2.0 is an advanced version of TONEDEAF, serving the same purpose as the\noriginal, but with a revamped C2 communication protocol and a substantially modified code\nbase. In contrast to the original TONEDEAF, TONEDEAF 2.0 contains solely arbitrary shell\nexecution capabilities, and doesn’t support any predefined commands. It’s also more stealthy\nand contains new tricks such as dynamic importing, string decoding, and a victim deception\nmethod.\nInformation\nLast change to this tool card: 20 April 2020\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\nAll groups using tool TONEDEAF 2.0\nChanged Name Country Observed\nAPT groups\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=23cf2c05-faff-48b6-91af-4fc9158edbec\nPage 1 of 2\n\nOilRig, APT 34, Helix Kitten, Chrysene 2014-Sep 2024\r\n1 group listed (1 APT, 0 other, 0 unknown)\r\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=23cf2c05-faff-48b6-91af-4fc9158edbec\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=23cf2c05-faff-48b6-91af-4fc9158edbec\r\nPage 2 of 2",
