ElizaRAT is a remote access trojan associated with the Pakistan-attributed espionage group Transparent Tribe (APT36, also known as ProjectM and Earth Karkaddan). The provided content states the group has been active since at least 2013 and has used ElizaRAT alongside other malware families including CapraRAT, Crimson RAT, and DeskRAT. Check Point’s 2024 analysis is cited as identifying ElizaRAT as a Transparent Tribe RAT used for data exfiltration. The malware is referenced in the context of spear-phishing campaigns targeting Indian military, diplomatic, governmental, academic, and strategic entities, including organizations such as Hindustan Aeronautics, the Indian Army, and the Indian Navy. Reported delivery methods used by Transparent Tribe in related campaigns include phishing emails with ZIP archives containing malicious LNK files disguised as PDF documents, use of mshta.exe to retrieve remote HTA loaders, in-memory payload execution, persistence tailored to detected antivirus products, and deployment of decoy documents. While the content does not provide ElizaRAT-specific technical internals or indicators of compromise, it consistently places ElizaRAT within Transparent Tribe’s espionage toolkit for remote access and theft of victim data.
