The End of DarkComet RAT - More Technical Details

For more technical information on the DarkComet RAT, and how it has been used in concerted campaigns against governments, dissidents, and even gamers, see this Threatpost Article - Dark Comet RAT Tailored For Attacks On Gamers, Governments.

For the deeper technical analysis - check out the write up by Arbor Networks that is referenced in the Threapost piece - Exterminating the RAT Part I: Dissecting Dark Comet Campaigns. That is the first of a series that Curt Wilson of Arbor is doing on the technical side.  The links at the bottom of the Arbor piece are (to a security nerd), absolutely fantastic - especially the piece on its use within Syria - DarkComet Analysis – Understanding the Trojan used in Syrian Uprising.
