[Halcyn86 DF Member Posts:21 Threads:21 Reputation 0]

Detailed Features of HVNC TinyNuke 
1. Stealthy Remote Control via HVNC

• Hidden Desktop Session: Operates in an invisible virtual desktop, evading detection by users and security tools.
  
• Live Interaction: Attackers can mouse/keyboard control the victim’s PC in real-time without raising alarms.
  
• Session Persistence: Maintains access even after system reboots via registry modifications.
  

2. Credential & Data Theft

• Keylogging: Logs keystrokes to steal passwords, banking details, and sensitive data.
  
• Clipboard Monitoring: Captures copied text (e.g., crypto wallet addresses).
  
• Browser Data Extraction: Harvests saved logins, cookies, and credit cards from Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
  

3. Evasion & Anti-Forensics Techniques

• Process Injection: Runs inside legitimate processes (explorer.exe, svchost.exe) to avoid detection.
  
• Rootkit Functionality: Hides files, network connections, and processes from security tools.
  
• Sandbox & VM Detection: Checks for virtual environments and halts execution if analyzed.
  

4. Persistence & Propagation

• Registry Auto-Run Keys: Ensures malware relaunches on system startup.
  
• DLL Side-Loading: Uses legitimate software (e.g., signed apps) to load malicious payloads.
  
• Lateral Movement: Exploits RDP, SMB, or EternalBlue to spread across networks.
  

5. Command & Control (C2) Communication

• Encrypted C2 Traffic: Uses HTTPS, DNS tunneling, or Telegram bots for stealthy communication.
  
• Dynamic Payload Updates: Downloads additional malware (ransomware, spyware) as needed.
  
• Victim Profiling: Collects system info (OS, IP, installed security software) for targeted attacks.
