 Tool: XSLCmd
Names XSLCmd
Category Malware
Type Backdoor, Keylogger, Info stealer
Description
(FireEye) The backdoor code was ported to OS X from a Windows backdoor that has been
used extensively in targeted attacks over the past several years, having been updated many
times in the process. Its capabilities include a reverse shell, file listings and transfers,
installation of additional executables, and an updatable configuration. The OS X version
of XSLCmd includes two additional features not found in the Windows variants we have
studied in depth: key logging and screen capturing.
