RunningRAT

Description

(McAfee) RunningRat is a remote access Trojan (RAT) that operates with two DLLs. It gets its name from a hardcoded string embedded in the malware. Upon being dropped onto a system, the first DLL executes. This DLL serves three main functions: killing antimalware, unpacking and executing the main RAT DLL, and obtaining persistence. The malware drops the Windows batch file dx.bat, which attempts to kill the task daumcleaner.exe; a Korean security program. The batch file then attempts to remove itself.
