VB2019 paper: Spoofing in the reeds with Rietspoof

The Rietspoof malware was first discovered by

Avast

researchers in August 2018 and publicly disclosed in a

blog post

in February 2019.

The multi-stage malware utilises different file types throughout its infection chain including in one stage a CAB file. Full details of the malware, including later discoveries, were revealed in a VB2019 paper by

Avast

researchers Jan Sirmer, Luigino Camastra and Adolf Středa.

Today we publish the researchers’ paper in both

HTML

and

PDF

format, as well as the recording of the presentation given by Jan and Luigino in London.
