This blog is about ‘GOGLoader Analysis Report’.
As ThreatMon, we strive to prevent potential malicious activities by informing individuals,companies, firms, institutions, and organizations about current threats through our reports,posts, and analyses.
As the ThreatMon Malware R&D Team, we analyzed the advanced malware loader namedGOG, which features a sophisticated hybrid architecture. This loader employs a dual-componentdesign where the main executable is developed in C++, while malicious payloads are implementedin .NET (C#). This hybrid structure enables the loader to execute .NET-based maliciousmodules directly in memory without creating files on disk.
GOG Loader demonstrates remarkable technical sophistication through several key capabilities:
Architecture Support: The malware can be configured for both x86 and x64 architectures,ensuring broad compatibility across Windows environments.
Distribution Method: Currently available for purchase on dark web forums (Malware as a Service),indicating active commercialization of this threat.
Advanced Evasion: The loader incorporates multiple anti-analysis mechanisms includingantidebug,anti-VM, anti-sandbox techniques, and sophisticated RUNPE (process hollowing)capabilities.
We see the full picture of the evolving cyber threat landscape thanks to unique tools for monitoring the infrastructure used by cybercriminals and data from battlefields:
