Waterbear (Malware Family)

Waterbear

aka: DbgPrint, EYEWELL

Waterbear, also known as DbgPrint in its earlier export function, has been active since 2009. The malware is presumably developed by the BlackTech APT group and adopts advanced anti-analysis and forward-thinking design. These designs include a sophisticated shellcode stager, the ability to load plugins on-the-fly, and overall evasiveness should the C2 server fail to respond with a valid session key.
