Description
(Yoroi) As intended by its name, it is able to start a new asynchronous task on the victim’s
machine, executing the task object passed as _app parameter. Once the task is started, the
function waits its completion using repeated 1-sec sleeps cycle, and then it returns a valid code
status to the function caller. Probably this module can be used in conjunction with some other
functions, belonging to other pieces of the implant, to perform malicious actions in
background, making all more stealth.
Note: not the same software as an open source project on GitHub.
