RapperBot: infection → DDoS in seconds (deep dive write-up)

Just published a breakdown of RapperBot. Quick hits:

Uses DNS TXT records to hide rotating C2s.

Multi-arch payloads (MIPS, ARM, x86), stripped/encrypted, self-deleting.

Custom base56 + RC4-ish routine just to extract C2 IPs (decryptor included).

Infra shifts fast: scanners moving countries, repos/FTP/NFS hosting binaries.

Timeline lines up neatly with DOJ’s Operation PowerOFF takedown.

Curious if anyone’s still seeing RapperBot traffic after the takedown, or if it’s really gone quiet.
