Background

Microsoft describes DevilsTongue as an intricate, modular, multi-threaded malware coded in C and C++ that introduces several novel features. On disk, its files have PDB paths and PE timestamps wiped, strings and configurations encrypted, and a distinct hash per file. Core functionality lives in DLLs that remain encrypted on disk and are only decrypted in memory, hampering detection, while keeping configuration and tasking data separate from the malware to frustrate analysis. DevilsTongue operates in both user mode and kernel mode.
