EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Popularity Rank: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

The AsyncRAT is a project that seems to have been developed with educational purposes, or at least that is what its creator is claiming on their GitHub page. The AsyncRAT’s code is available on the previously mentioned GitHub page publicly. Once malware experts reviewed the code, it quickly became clear that the AsyncRAT can serve as a very threatening tool if it falls in the hands of ill-willing individuals.

Capabilities
The AsyncRAT is not too different from most RATs out there, but this does not make it any less threatening. This threat is able to record your keystrokes as it possesses a keylogging module. This is usually used to collect login credentials and other sensitive data. The AsyncRAT can also record video via the webcam on the compromised system, as well as record audio using the microphone. This RAT also sports an info stealer feature, which allows the AsyncRAT to gather information from messaging services, Web browsers and FTP clients. Furthermore, the AsyncRAT can view, download, and upload files on the infected PC, which means that it can not only collect copies of your files, but it also can plant additional malware.
The real danger in the AsyncRAT hides not its capabilities, however, but in the fact that its creator has made this threat available publicly. This means that any shady individual, even the ones with zero technical skills, can weaponize this threat and use it to cause great harm to unsuspecting users. An even scarier scenario is when we imagine that highly-skilled cybercriminals can take the code of the AsyncRAT and further weaponize this threat to make it even more threatening. It is time to users realize that they need to take their cybersecurity very seriously as threats like the AsyncRAT are lurking all around the Web. Download and install a genuine anti-spyware tool, which will keep threats like the AsyncRAT at bay and give you peace of mind.

Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.| Total Blocks: | 14,560 |

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- MSIL.Mardom.SF
