Python Backdoor Talking to a C2 Through Ngrok, (Thu, Dec 10th)

I spotted a malicious Python script that implements a backdoor. The interesting behavior is the use of Ngrok to connect to the C2 server. Ngrok has been used for a while by attackers. Like most services available on the Internet, it has been abused by attackers for a long time. If you&#;x26;#;39;re not familiar with Ngrok[1], here is the principle: You download the Ngrok client and publish your services (ex: a web server) in the wild.
