Протокол использует XOR-кодирование с ключом 0x70 для обфускации управляющих сообщений.
certain strings within the binary suggest it looks to see if its running on a VM.
Через WMI и нативные Windows API собираются hardware ID, RAM, число ядер CPU, параметры дисков и сетевая конфигурация.

I quickly recognized what looks like XOR encoding in some of the payload and was reward with uncovering multiple domains when applying XOR key 70.
DNS-резолвинг идёт через DNS-over-HTTPS (Google resolver), поэтому стандартный DNS-мониторинг запросы не увидит.
Once running, the malware quietly rented out the victim’s internet connection to paying customers without their knowledge or consent.
Les victimes installent un logiciel proxy caché qui loue leur connexion internet à des clients payants sans leur consentement
