Background
HarfangLabs reports that Cyclops is a Go-based malware platform first seen in December 2023, which they assess was used against Middle-Eastern targets during 2024. The tool lets operators run arbitrary commands against the victim's file system and move laterally through the compromised network. A distinctive feature is its control mechanism: a HTTP REST API made available to operators over an SSH tunnel.
