QuiteRAT

aka: Acres

Actor(s): Silent Chollima

VTCollection    

QuiteRAT is a simple remote access trojan written with the help of Qt libraries.

After sending preliminary system information to its C&C server, it expects a response containing either a supported command code or an actual Windows command (like systeminfo or ipconfig with parameters) to execute.

It was deployed in a campaign exploiting a ManageEngine ServiceDesk vulnerability (CVE-2022-47966).
