New malware named HTTPSnoop and PipeSnoop are used in cyberattacks on telecommunication service providers in the Middle East, allowing threat actors to remotely execute commands on infected devices.
The HTTPSnoop malware interfaces with Windows HTTP kernel drivers and devices to execute content on the infected endpoint based on specific HTTP(S) URLs, and the PipeSnoop accepts and executes arbitrary shellcode from a named pipe.
HTTPSnoop uses low-level Windows APIs to monitor HTTP(S) traffic on an infected device for specific URLs.
