Racket Downloader

Actor(s): Lazarus Group

VTCollection    

Racket Downloader is an HTTP(S) downloader.

It uses a custom substitution cipher for decryption of its character strings, and RC5 with a 256-bit key for encryption and decryption of network traffic.

It sends an HTTP POST request containing a particular value that inspired its name, like "?product_field=racket" or "prd_fld=racket".

Racket Downloader was deployed against South Korean targets running the Initech INISAFE CrossWeb EX software in Q2 2021 and Q1 2022.
