DarkEyE

The DarkEyE tool is a utility, which was first sold on underground hacking forums. The DarkEyE utility serves to protect malware by obfuscating its code – this makes it more difficult for antivirus vendors to identify it and for cybersecurity researchers to dissect it. According to the developers of the DarkEyE utility, it will 'protect your files against reverse engineering and cracking procedures.' The developers of the DarkEyE utility also offered this tool on a public website. Now, the same website is used for advertising and selling a similar obfuscation utility called CloudEyE. Judging by the fact that both tools serve very similar purposes and were sold on the same website, it is safe to assume that the CloudEyE utility is a new and updated variant of the DarkEyE service.

The DarkEyE tool can serve as a crypter, which is used to obfuscate the code of executable files. This utility can also be used as a Trojan downloader that can allow the attackers to plant additional malware on the breached host. The developers of the DarkEyE tool claim that this utility is able to make file FUD, which stands for 'Fully Undetectable.' This means that the creators of this tool claim that any threat obfuscated with the DarkEyE tool is capable of remaining under the radar of any antivirus software suite. However, these claims are false. Despite the obfuscation techniques used by the DarkEyE utility, modern antivirus solutions will be able to identify and eliminate threats even if they are heavily obfuscated.

There is no saying how many cybercriminals have taken advantage of the DarkEyE tool. Many cyber crooks rely on outside sources to create complex projects. They may use one service to obfuscate their code, another one to gain persistence, a third one to detect and exploit vulnerabilities, etc. If you want to protect your system from cyber attacks, it is worth considering investing in a genuine, modern anti-malware utility that will keep your data and your PC safe.
