Description
(FireEye) DOGCALL is a backdoor commonly distributed as an encoded binary file
downloaded and decrypted by shellcode following the exploitation of weaponized
documents. DOGCALL is capable of capturing screenshots, logging keystrokes, evading
analysis with anti-virtual machine detections, and leveraging cloud storage APIs such as
Cloud, Box, Dropbox, and Yandex.
DOGCALL was used to target South Korean Government and military organizations in
March and April 2017.
The malware is typically dropped using an HWP exploit in a lure document.
The wiper tool, RUHAPPY, was found on some of the systems targeted by DOGCALL.
While DOGCALL is primarily an espionage tool, RUHAPPY is a destructive wiper tool
meant to render systems inoperable.
