It allows the threat actor to use the DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocol. Use of the\nDNS protocol for malware communications is a technique that Oilrig has been using for a long\ntime. The difference between DNS- and DoH-based requests is that, instead of plain text\nrequests to port 53, they would use port 443 in encrypted packets. Oilrig added the publicly\navailable DNSExfiltrator tool to its arsenal, which allows DoH queries to Google and\nCloudflare services. This time, the operators decided to use subdomains of a COVID-related\ndomain which are hardcoded in the DNSExfitrator detected samples.\nInformation Last change to this tool card: 30 July 2020\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\nAll groups using tool DNSExfitrator\nChanged Name Country Observed\nAPT groups\n OilRig, APT 34, Helix Kitten, Chrysene 2014-Sep 2024\n1 group listed (1 APT, 0 other, 0 unknown)\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=135f3617-9251-4daf-999e-3fa79a029b5d\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=135f3617-9251-4daf-999e-3fa79a029b5d\nPage 1 of 1",
