Today, I discovered on VirusTotal a fascinating Python RAT. There are countless variants, but this particular one caught my eye due to some function names found in the code: self_modifying_wrapper(), decrypt_and_execute(), and polymorph_code(). A polymorphic malware represents a category of malicious software that has been engineered to continuously alter its appearance or signature files with each execution. The file received an extremely low rating of 2/64 on VT! (SHA256:7173e20e7ec217f6a1591f1fc9be6d0a4496d78615cc5ccdf7b9a3a37e3ecc3c).
