Main stage embedded in the UPX-unpacked TQ.jpg (5d87bd723f8267c3c0bef75f2b502321c518ac6a09696f3971ace53d0ba505cd) at offset 0x1930f (stored as 'exe' + length). Holds four further programs. Strings: AddMonitorA and the print-monitor key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\RunDllExe\Driver (stored XOR 0x10 as hex text), sethc/Utilman/osk/Magnify/Narrator paths, Windows Defender DisableAntiSpyware, MSSQLServer Setup SQLPath. TQ.jpg carries the Gh0stRAT label on MalwareBazaar, but we found no Gh0st code in it: it is a privilege-escalation and persistence bundle. Part of the toolkit served from down.ftp21.cc (TQ.jpg, wmi.jpg, 445.jpg, Win10.ps1), which targets Windows servers running SQL Server. Static analysis only; not executed by us.
