Key Features of Lucifer v1.2 HTTP Botnet1. Exploit-Based Propagation
- Scans for and exploits known vulnerabilities, including:
- EternalBlue (MS17-010) – Windows SMB flaw
- DoublePulsar – Backdoor exploit
- Apache Struts, WebLogic, and ThinkPHP RCE flaws
- Weak RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) credentials
- EternalBlue (MS17-010) – Windows SMB flaw
- Silently installs XMRig miner to steal CPU power.
- Uses obfuscation to evade detection.
- Kills competing miners to maximize profits.
- Supports multiple attack vectors:
- HTTP Flood (Overwhelms web servers)
- TCP/UDP Flood (Exhausts network resources)
- Slowloris (Keeps connections open to crash servers)
- HTTP Flood (Overwhelms web servers)
- HTTP-based C2 communication (Blends with normal traffic).
- Dynamic payload updates (New attacks can be deployed remotely).
- Persistent infection (Survives reboots via registry manipulation).
- Injects into legitimate processes (e.g., svchost.exe, explorer.exe).
- Disables Windows Defender & Firewall.
- Deletes shadow copies (Prevents system recovery).
- Harvests RDP, FTP, and browser credentials.
- Spreads across networks using stolen logins & exploits.
