Often identified by its capabilities of spreading through Skype and injecting bank pages, Caphaw, also known as Shylock, has been a low-profile, yet persistent player on the botnet scene since 2011. This is a rare botnet that was released with complete functionality - standing in stark contrast to most botnet malware that is released prematurely into the wild. The intricately designed code structure, together with various obfuscation and anti-sandbox techniques, made it difficult for analysts to build a complete profile of its malicious behaviour. In this presentation, we will discuss the technical aspects of handling anti-reversing strategies devised by the malware writer and evaluate how Caphaw's 'pluginer' capability could position itself as a robust APT player in the future.
