Description About BOOSTWRITE

There are some hacking groups which are strictly involved in activism. The Chinese hacking group named Carbanak Group which is also known as FIN7 is the new one. This hacking group became a popular name since they launched the Carbanak Trojan. This threat is managed to become one of the most notorious banking Trojans which is ever created and gave the particular name to the hacking group who is responsible for it. The Carbanak Group is known for target mainly companies that are generally involved in the restaurant, hospitality and in retail industries. It appears that most of their victims are generally located in the United States. The Carbanak Group is developing their new tools in which two of them have been spotted around the world recently. These new hacking tools are utilized in most of the campaigns inorder to target payment processing.

One of the previously mentioned new tools which is called BOOSTWRITE has a high-end Trojan loader. The BOOSTWRITE Trojan loader commonly serves to pave the way for more malicious payloads which will be further planted on the compromised host. The payload which is being carried out by the BOOSTWRITE Trojan loader is encrypted. In order to decrypt the payload, the BOOSTWRITE Trojan loader needs to establish a connection along with the C&C (Command and Control) server of its operators and retrieve the required decryption key along with the initialization vector.

Malware researchers have identified two second stage payloads that have been used in unison along with the BOOSTWRITE Trojan Loader. One of them is the trademark threat of the Carbanak Group which gave it its name- the Carbanak malware. The second threat that the BOOSTWRITE loader deploy is a new hacking tool which is developed by the same hacking group- the RDFSNIFFER RAT (Remote Access Trojan). This RAT is rather unusual as it only triggers the attack if the host has a certain software tool present on their system- the NCR Aloha Command Center.

It would appear that the BOOSTWRITE Trojan loader is carrying these two secondary payloads only. Since this is an advanced Trojan loader. The Carbanak Group will continue to use it in future campaigns and use it to plant more damaging threats. If you want to stay away from the BOOSTWRITE Trojan loader, we will advise you to look into obtaining a legitimate anti-malware application and keep it up-to-date always.
