SPICA

Description

(Google) SPICA is written in Rust, and uses JSON over websockets for command and control (C2). It supports a number of commands including:

• Executing arbitrary shell commands • Stealing cookies from Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge • Uploading and downloading files • Perusing the filesystem by listing the contents of it • Enumerating documents and exfiltrating them in an archive • There is also a command called “telegram,” but the functionality of this command is unclear Once executed, SPICA decodes an embedded PDF, writes it to disk, and opens it as a decoy for the user. In the background, it establishes persistence and starts the main C2 loop, waiting for commands to execute.
