Kaspersky’s GReAT team disclosed a long-running cyber espionage campaign built around the GoSerpent backdoor on July 16, 2026. The Go-based tool has hit Southeast Asian government and diplomatic networks since at least 2021.
13 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
The backdoor connects to command-and-control servers using ChaCha20 encryption for communications... Communications are transported over TCP, HTTP, or WebSocket channels with protection using AES-256-GCM or TLS encryption.
It can also spin up SOCKS5 proxies to route traffic through victims and hide the operator’s real IP.
It can also spin up SOCKS5 proxies to route traffic through victims and hide the operator’s real IP.
GoSerpent can establish SOCKS5 proxy servers to route traffic through compromised hosts, enabling attackers to access other networks while masking their true IP addresses.

A Go-based first-stage backdoor used for long-term espionage access. It reads encrypted base64-encoded command-line arguments containing a C2 address and communication password, encrypts C2 traffic with ChaCha20, and can establish SOCKS5 proxies to route traffic through victim networks.
A Go-based remote access trojan/backdoor with proxy capabilities that communicates with C2 using ChaCha20-encrypted traffic, accepts encrypted command-line arguments, supports remote shell, file transfer, port forwarding, and SOCKS5 proxying, and deploys follow-on tools for collection and credential dumping.
Go-based backdoor/RAT with proxy capabilities that receives encrypted command-line arguments, communicates with C2 using ChaCha20, supports remote shell, file upload/download, port forwarding, and SOCKS5 proxying, and is used to deploy follow-on tools for file collection and credential dumping.
