Deep#Door Python RAT Evades Windows Defenses via Tunneling and Obfuscation (infosecurity-magazine.com)

• Uses tunneling and obfuscation to evade antivirus
• Steals credentials from Windows systems
• Python-based, making analysis and cross-platform deployment easier

"A new Python-based backdoor called Deep#Door has been detected targeting Windows systems. It uses tunneling and obfuscation techniques to evade antivirus and security tools. The malware is designed to steal credentials by intercepting login information and transmitting them to command-and-control servers. Its use of Python makes it cross-platform and harder to analyze. Security researchers note that the obfuscation methods include code packing and encryption. Organizations are advised to update detection rules and monitor for unusual network traffic."
