When KrebsOnSecurity broke the news on Oct. 20, 2023 that identity and authentication giant Okta had suffered a breach in its customer support department, Okta said the intrusion allowed hackers to steal sensitive data from fewer than one percent of its 18,000+ customers. But today, Okta revised that impact statement, saying the attackers also stole the name and email address for nearly all of its customer support users.

Attackers are exploiting the recently discovered critical security vulnerability tracked as (CVE-2023-46604) affecting Apache ActiveMQ to disseminate the Golang-based botnet GoTitan and the.NET application “PrCtrl Rat,” which has the ability to be remotely controlled. Any Operating System using Apache Active MQ versions earlier than 5.15.16, 5.16.7, 5.17.6, and 5.18.3 was susceptible to this critical vulnerability.

Hidden Desktop (often referred to as HVNC) is a tool that allows operators to interact with a remote desktop session without the user knowing. The VNC protocol is not involved, but the result is a similar experience. This Cobalt Strike BOF implementation was created as an alternative to TinyNuke/forks that are written in C++. There are four components of Hidden Desktop: BOF initializer: Small program responsible for injecting the HVNC code into the Beacon process. HVNC shellcode: PIC implementation of TinyNuke HVNC. Server and operator UI: Server that listens for connections from the HVNC shellcode and a UI that allows the operator to interact with the remote desktop. Currently only supports Windows. Application launcher BOFs: Set of Beacon Object Files that execute applications in the new desktop. Usage Download the latest release or compile yourself using make. Start the HVNC server on a Windows machine accessible from the teamserver. You can then execute the client with: HiddenDesktop <server> <port> You should see a new blank window on the server machine. The BOF does not execute any applications by default. You can use the application launcher BOFs to execute common programs on the new desktop: hd-launch-edgehd-launch-explorerhd-launch-runhd-launch-cmdhd-launch-chrome You can also launch programs through File Explorer using the mouse and keyboard. Other applications can be executed using the following command: hd-launch <command> [args] Demo Hidden.Desktop.mp4 Implementation Details The Aggressor script generates random pipe and desktop names. These are passed to the BOF initializer as arguments. The desktop name is stored in CS preferences at execution and is used by the application launcher BOFs. HVNC traffic is forwarded back to the team server using rportfwd. Status updates are sent back to Beacon through a named pipe. The BOF initializer starts by resolving the required modules and functions. Arguments from the Aggressor script are resolved. A pointer to a structure containing the arguments and function addresses is passed to the InputHandler function in the HVNC shellcode. It uses BeaconInjectProcess to execute the shellcode, meaning the behavior can be customized in a Malleable C2 profile or with process injection BOFs. You could modify Hidden Desktop to target remote processes, but this is not currently supported. This is done so the BOF can exit and the HVNC shellcode can continue running. InputHandler creates a new named pipe for Beacon to connect to. Once a connection has been established, the specified desktop is opened (OpenDesktopA) or created (CreateDesktopA). A new socket is established through a reverse port forward (rportfwd) to the HVNC server. The input handler creates a new thread for the DesktopHandler function described below. This thread will receive mouse and keyboard input from the HVNC server and forward it to the desktop. DesktopHandler establishes an additional socket connection to the HVNC server through the reverse port forward. This thread will monitor windows for changes and forward them to the HVNC server. Compatibility The HiddenDesktop BOF was tested using example.profile on the following Windows versions/architectures: Windows Server 2022 x64 Windows Server 2016 x64 Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 Windows Server 2008 x86 Windows 7 SP1 x64 Known Issues The start menu is not functional.
