CYFIRMA Research- Analysis of Konni RAT: Stealth, Persistence, and Anti-Analysis Techniques

CYFIRMA’s research team has conducted an in-depth investigation into Konni RAT,  a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT) that uses advanced evasion techniques to bypass detection. It exploits Windows features, such as file extension hiding and the 260-character limit for LNK files, to conceal malicious activity. After gaining access, Konni RAT maintains persistence through registry modifications and collects sensitive data from infected systems, and exfiltrates this information to remote servers while using modular batch scripts to perform tasks like payload execution and file deletion.

Due to its stealth and adaptability, Konni RAT poses a significant threat, and users are advised to keep systems updated and exercise caution with unknown files and links.
