Names
MQsTTang
QMAGENT
Category Malware
Type Backdoor
Description
(ESET) MQsTTang is a barebones backdoor that allows the attacker to execute arbitrary
commands on a victim’s machine and get the output. Even so, it does present some interesting
characteristics. Chief among these is its use of the MQTT protocol for C&C communication.
MQTT is typically used for communication between IoT devices and controllers, and the
protocol hasn’t been used in many publicly documented malware families.
