Tool: METALJACK

Names	METALJACK
Category	Malware
Type	Loader, Reconnaissance, Backdoor
Description	(FireEye) The malware also loads shellcode in an additional resource, which contains the METALJACK payload. The shellcode performs a system survey to collect the victim's computer name and username and then appends those values to a URL string using libjs.inquirerjs[.]com. It then attempts to call out to the URL. If the callout is successful, the malware loads the METALJACK payload into memory.
