Down the Drain: Unpacking TON of Crypto Drainers”



We've laid our hands on a few TON Crypto Drainers designed specifically to steal native coins, NFTs and Jettons, including: X-TonDrainer, Julia Drainer and TOD / The Open Drainer;

Analyzed their source code, classified them with Levels and discovered what features of legitimate products they exploit in order to appear less suspicious.

  • Level 0: Redirection, Verification Problem, Origin Forgery, Telegram Bots
  • Level 1.0: TON, NFT, Jetton, Altered Libs
  • Level 1.1: UI Redressing, Custom Wallets, Wallet Impersonation
  • Level 1.2: Forcing Actions, Events Tracking
  • Level 2: Local Storage, TON Connect Components, TON Connect Bridge MitM

A Date with Phishing and Stealers: Cybercrime in the Age of Loneliness”



It's no secret that the problem of loneliness becomes more critical with every passing year, so much so that we can call it a real epidemic and this, unfortunately, will not even be an exaggeration. The modern solution is online dating, but where technology is, there are new ways to attack. It's a pity, but attackers will definetly take advantage of any technical opportunity and purely human vulnerability to achieve their goal.

This article may be useful for those who are interested in reverse engineering, malware or threat intelligence, as well as for anyone who uses dating apps and wants to know about the risks involved.

Together we will analyze in detail the delicate:
  • Phishing website that logs payment data
  • Mobile application that reads SMS from banks
  • Mobile application – RAT

  • Statistics of similar attacks
  • Social engineering techniques

E-mail Injection; Injections into the Mail functionality of Web Applications”



It so happened that one of the solutions to the problem of collecting user responses is the use of e-mail. E–mail is a complex technology that uses a whole list of components.

In such a scenario, forms act as intermediaries between a number of components and a user, which, as is known from history, inevitably leads to the exploitation of vulnerabilities through user input – to injections.

And, since the attacker has a chain of components of various implementations at his disposal, such functionality is a spacious field for analyzing and conducting not one, but several types of injections at once.

Basics of E-mail:
  • E-mail Protocols
  • E-mail Components
  • Message structure
  • Special character sequences

Potential vulnerabilities:
  • CRLF Injection
  • Arbitrary Command Flag Injection

Demonstration of exploitation:
  • Application overview
  • NodeJS + smtp-client (CRLF SMTP Injection + E-mail hijacking)
  • PHP + mail() (CRLF SMTP Injection + Command Flag Injection)
  • Python + imaplib / email (CRLF IMAP Injection + Improper Input Validation)
