Free Loaders and Dirty Rats - how Malware Loaders and Remote Access Trojans work together to evade your defences and establish an unwanted presence inside

I’ll look at popular Loaders and their core capabilities, particularly defence evasion - then shift the focus to Remote Access Trojans (RATs).

Apart from being the foundation component of Botnets, Remote Access Trojans are the swiss army knife of malware. After looking at some recent cyber attacks that have leveraged RATs.

I’ll wrap up with a demo of DLL Side Loading, followed by an infection using a Malware Loader and a Remote Access Trojan.

This session is designed to help analysts detect and defend against Loaders and Remote Access Trojans by highlighting their key capabilities and providing some practical insights into how they are deployed and leveraged by cyber criminals. It should also appeal to anyone with an interest in Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI).
