Description

MisterioLNK is a newly discovered open-source loader builder that generates LNK, BAT, CMD, and VBS loader files designed to download and execute remote files. Available on GitHub, it poses a significant challenge to security defenses due to minimal detection rates. The tool supports multiple loader methods and obfuscation techniques, making it difficult for traditional security measures to detect. Threat actors have begun using MisterioLNK to deploy malware such as Remcos RAT, DC RAT, and BlankStealer. The builder consists of two primary modules: a loader builder and an obfuscator, allowing for the creation of various file types with customizable icons and obfuscation capabilities. This versatile toolkit emphasizes flexibility, adaptability, and evasion, making it a potent threat in the cybersecurity landscape.
