Night Dragon is a cyber intrusion campaign targeting energy companies, publicly documented in 2011. The name identifies a campaign and its associated attackers rather than a conclusively identified organization. Initial-access methods included SQL injection against extranet web servers, compromised VPN accounts, and spearphishing emails linking to compromised websites that delivered malware. The attackers used password-cracking and credential-dumping tools, including gsecdump, to obtain account information. Pass-the-hash tools enabled authenticated access to sensitive internal desktops and servers and supported lateral movement. Their malware included privately developed and customized remote-access tools and the Redsip backdoor. Night Dragon used HTTP for command-and-control communications, and an associated DLL contained an XOR-encoded section consistent with payload obfuscation. The historical campaign is distinct from the unrelated Android remote-control kit also named Night Dragon introduced in 2026.
