WAVESHAPER

According to Mandiant, WAVESHAPER is a backdoor written in C++ and packed by an unknown packer that targets macOS. The backdoor supports downloading and executing arbitrary payloads retrieved from its command-and-control (C2 or C&C) server, which is provided via the command-line parameters. To communicate with the adversary infrastructure, WAVESHAPER leverages the curl library for either HTTP or HTTPS, depending on the command-line argument provided. WAVESHAPER also runs as a daemon by forking itself into a child process that runs in the background detached from the parent session and collects system information, which is sent to the C&C server in a HTTP POST request.
