HAMAS-LINKED APT USES RUST-BASED SYSJOKER BACKDOOR AGAINST ISRAEL

Pierluigi Paganini November 25, 2023


RESEARCHERS REPORTED THAT A HAMAS-LINKED APT GROUP IS USING A RUST-BASED
SYSJOKER BACKDOOR AGAINST ISRAELI ENTITIES.

Check Point researchers observed a Hamas-linked APT group is using the SysJoker
backdoor against Israeli entities.

In December 2021, security experts from Intezer first discovered the SysJoker
backdoor, which is able to infect Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

The version employed in the attacks against Israel is written in Rust language,
which suggests the malware was rewritten from scratch. The experts noticed that
the malicious code supports the same functionalities as past variants. The
threat actor switched from Google Drive to OneDrive to store dynamic C2 (command
and control server) URLs.

“Using OneDrive allows the attackers to easily change the C2 address, which
enables them to stay ahead of different reputation-based services. This behavior
remains consistent across different versions of SysJoker.” reads the analysis
published by Check Point.

The backdoor collects information about the infected system (i.e. Windows
version, username, MAC address). The collected data is sent to
the /api/attach API endpoint on the C2 server.

Once registered with the C2 server, the sample initiates the main C2 loop. It
sends a POST request with the unique token to the /api/req endpoint, receiving a
JSON response from the C2 server.

In turn, the server responds with a JSON containing a field named “data,” which
holds an array of actions for the sample to execute.

Check Point also noticed behavioral similarities with the Operation Electric
Powder campaign which targeted Israel in 2016-2017. This campaign was attributed
to Gaza Cybergang (aka Molerats), a threat actor that is believed to be linked
to the Palestinian organization Hamas.

The Gaza cybergang, aka “Gaza Hackers Team” and “Molerats,” appears to be
politically motivated and has been active since at least since 2012, but it has
intensified its activity in Q2 2015.

Check Point also discovered two previously undetected additional SysJoker
samples that are more complex than the Rust version.

“Although the SysJoker malware, which was first seen in 2021 and publicly
described in 2022, wasn’t attributed to any known actor, we found evidence that
this tool and its newer variants have been used as part of the Israeli-Hamas
conflict. We were also able to make a connection between SysJoker and the
2016-2017 Electric Powder Operation against Israel Electric Company.” concludes
the report. “The earlier versions of the malware were coded in C++. Since there
is no straightforward method to port that code to Rust, it suggests that the
malware underwent a complete rewrite and may potentially serve as a foundation
for future changes and improvements.”
