 Tool: MoleNet
Names MoleNet
Category Malware
Type Backdoor, Downloader
Description
(Cybereason) Perhaps one of the most intriguing tools discovered in this campaign is the
MoleNet downloader. Even though the tool itself is previously undocumented, the
Nocturnus Team found evidence that it has been in active development since at least
2019 with infrastructure operating as far back as 2017 while remaining under the radar.
The MoleNet downloader is just one of the tools in Molerats’ arsenal, and was
discovered in this campaign being delivered by the DropBook backdoor along with the
SharpStage and Spark backdoors. It is also written in .NET, and heavily obfuscated.
