	"plain_text": "The New Release of Danabot Version 3: What You Need to Know\r\nBy Flashpoint Intel Team\r\nPublished: 2023-07-17 · Archived: 2026-04-05 23:37:30 UTC\r\nLast week, the third version of the malware toolkit Danabot was released on the high-tier Russian-language forum\r\nExploit. Dubbed DBot v.3, this version focuses on persistence and exfiltration of useful information that can later\r\nbe monetized, using social engineering in email-based threats to gather information from its victims.\r\nHow DBot v.3 works\r\nDanabot’s current infrastructure is broken into four parts:\r\nPart 1: The bot\r\nThe first part of DBot v.3 is the bot, which is the build of Danabot that is dropped on a target’s systems. The\r\nDanabot build has the following functionality:\r\nStealer malware capabilities that target browsers, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure Shell (SSH), and\r\nemail clients.\r\nClipboard sniffing capabilities which enables it to collect data from users copying information within or\r\nbetween applications via the clipboard.\r\nKeylogging capability which allows DBot v.3 to record keystrokes made by a computer user\r\nFile and wallet grabbing\r\n“PostGrabber”, a form-grabbing tool\r\nRemote access trojan (RAT) capabilities\r\nHTML injections\r\nWeb request redirecting and blocking\r\nTor fallback for command and control (C2) proxy recovery\r\nJabber integration for notifications\r\nPart 2: The “OnlineServer”\r\nThe OnlineServer is a portable executable (PE) application that acts as a panel for the RAT functionality of\r\nDanabot. It does the following:\r\nEnables interaction with the Danabot API\r\nIssues terminal commands on victim systems\r\nProvides remote access to victims via hidden virtual network computing\r\nParts 3 and 4: The client and the server\r\nThe client operates as a PE application that acts as a panel to process logs collected by the bot and manage the bot.\r\nhttps://flashpoint.io/blog/danabot-version-3-what-you-need-to-know/\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nThe last component of DBot v.3 is the server, which operates the back end of the panels and handles build\r\ngeneration of the bots. The server is a 64-bit application with a MySQL database and has a built-in firewall. It\r\nhandles the following tasks:\r\nBuilding bots\r\nPacking and crypting bots\r\nBuilding proxy chains for bot C2 communication\r\nEnabling API for handling crypting and the database\r\nAfter analyzing details of the sales threads for Danabot versions 2 and 3, Flashpoint has concluded that there are\r\nno significant technical differences between the two iterations.\r\nThe most important changes of Danabot version 3\r\nHowever, the most important changes from DanaTools (version 2) and DBot v.3 are its price restructuring and\r\nimproved customer support. With the release of DBot v.3, threat actors have more flexibility in choosing which\r\ntools they need through new subscription structures.\r\nThe following are examples of new subscription tiers:\r\nUse of stealer\r\nStealer, plus Hidden Virtual Network Computing (HVNC)\r\nStealer and PostGrabber\r\nStealer, PostGrabber, and HVNC\r\nStealer, PostGrabber, HVNC, API, personal server, and personal support\r\nDemo of stealer, HVNC, and PostGrabber\r\nIn addition, the Danabot Tor site now offers instructions on panel setup and configuration, as well as video\r\ndemonstrations and bot generation options. The restructuring and lowered barrier-of-entry will likely make DBot\r\nv.3 more accessible and appealing to threat actors.\r\nTrack and protect against malware with Flashpoint\r\nFlashpoint analysts are currently monitoring the threat landscape for the use of Danabot version 3 bots in the wild.\r\nTo learn the latest updates involving DBot v.3, in addition to other rising malware threats, sign up for a free trial.\r\nSource: https://flashpoint.io/blog/danabot-version-3-what-you-need-to-know/\r\nhttps://flashpoint.io/blog/danabot-version-3-what-you-need-to-know/\r\nPage 2 of 2",
