Torisma is a complex HTTP(S) downloader, that can serve as an orchestrator handling the execution of additional payloads from the C&C server.

It uses VEST-32 for encryption and decryption of network traffic between the client and the server.

Typically, it uses these parameter names for its HTTP POST requests: ACTION, CODE, CACHE, REQUEST, RES. It sends the victim's MAC address in the initial request.

The response of the server informing the client about a successful authentication is "Your request has been accepted. ClientID: {f9102bc8a7d81ef01ba}". The client then requests additional data from the server, that decrypts to shellcode and its data parameters, and is executed. The client also creates a named pipe, \\.\pipe\fb4d1181bb09b484d058768598b, that allows inter-process communication with the executed shellcode.

Torisma was usually downloaded by NedDnLoader, and deployed in the Operation DreamJob campaigns starting around Q4 2019.
