Goot Camp Gootloader Operation

February 8, 2023

The Goot Camp campaign targeted users looking for business-related documents online to drop variants from the GootLoader malware family. Downloading and opening the malicious ZIP archive launched a series of scripts resulting in the system infected with malicious software including a Cobalt Strike beacon. The operation also used the FONELAUNCH and SNOWCONE loaders to retrieve payloads from remote locations and load malicious code into memory.
