Analyst notes

WebSocket VNC Banker (provisional). WebSocket VNC Banker (provisional) is an Android overlay/VNC banking trojan that talks to its operator over a WebSocket channel. The C2 endpoint is ws://:8080/, where the host is held as an AES-128-CBC-encrypted, base64-encoded field decrypted at runtime with a PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1 key (password, salt, 65536 iterations, 128-bit) and a string IV, then DNS-resolved before connecting (after an HTTP reachability probe). It injects overlays for credential theft, intercepts SMS and one-time passwords, pins a custom CA, and sends device headers (X-Device-Id, X-Device-Model, X-Api-Level). Strings are hidden behind a byte-array XOR decoder plus opaque-predicate (hashCode sparse-switch) control-flow obfuscation and a fill-array-data element-width-17 trap that breaks jadx/baksmali/androguard, so the C2 is recovered by running the sample decoders on a JVM. Seen both as a standalone app and as the payload of a Brazilian Correios-lure dropper (child package dune.firefly.imagine). Observed C2s include 107.148.78.150:8080 and 190.2.184.130:8080. Family label provisional. Indicators: ws://179.0.176.65:8080/, http://190.102.41.210:5000.

About WebSocket VNC Banker (provisional)

**WebSocket VNC Banker (provisional)** is an Android overlay/VNC banking trojan that talks to its operator over a WebSocket channel. The C2 endpoint is ws://<host>:8080/, where the host is held as an AES-128-CBC-encrypted, base64-encoded field decrypted at runtime with a PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1 key (password, salt, 65536 iterations, 128-bit) and a string IV, then DNS-resolved before connecting (after an HTTP reachability probe). It injects overlays for credential theft, intercepts SMS and one-time passwords, pins a custom CA, and sends device headers (X-Device-Id, X-Device-Model, X-Api-Level). Strings are hidden behind a byte-array XOR decoder plus opaque-predicate (hashCode sparse-switch) control-flow obfuscation and a fill-array-data element-width-17 trap that breaks jadx/baksmali/androguard, so the C2 is recovered by running the sample decoders on a JVM. Seen both as a standalone app and as the payload of a Brazilian Correios-lure dropper (child package dune.firefly.imagine). Observed C2s include 107.148.78.150:8080 and 190.2.184.130:8080.
