samvartaka ba6d00cee2 This module exploits a publicly known vulnerability in the C2 server of DarkComet versions 3.2 and up
(https://www.nccgroup.trust/globalassets/our-research/us/whitepapers/PEST-CONTROL.pdf) which allows
an attacker to download arbitrary files from the DarkComet C2. The vulnerability possibly affects versions
prior to 3.2 as well. The vulnerability can be exploited without knowledge of the shared secret key
by abusing a flaw in the cryptographic protocol to carry out a limited version of the exploit allowing
for key recovery, after which the exploit can be used to download arbitrary files from a DarkComet C2 server.

See http://samvartaka.github.io/exploitation/2016/06/03/dead-rats-exploiting-malware
for details.

See https://mega.nz/#!wlZkSJLK!NI_Z-9UoPBQ0MDEYXLVr1wUJyVV70qVprWqSUol_53k
for the DarkComet 5.3.1 C2 server / builder

See https://mega.nz/#!AxRmkQLb!MVjwua3qrzgyXq7vUWSxISwVE7vQ8rEJbexieb8s0Ro
for the DarkComet 4.2F C2 server / builder (archive password is 'tr')

## Console output

Below is an example of the exploit running against versions 5.3.1 and 4.2F
(DarkComet C2 server password is set to 'darkcometpass' and unknown to attacker).
