The sample vertexedge.exe is a confirmed malicious Windows PE (.NET) executable exhibiting Remote Access Trojan (RAT) behavior, supported by both static and dynamic evidence.

Detection & classification evidence:

Detected as malicious by 49/71 security vendors on VirusTotal.

Multiple sandboxes (CAPE Sandbox, Zenbox) classify the file as MALWARE / TROJAN / RAT / EVADER.

MITRE ATT&CK mapping shows extensive coverage across Execution, Persistence, Defense Evasion, Privilege Escalation, and Credential Access tactics.

Persistence mechanisms observed:

Creates a scheduled task named vertexedge configured to run at logon with highest privileges using schtasks.exe.

Copies itself to %APPDATA%\vertexedge.exe and executes from that location.

Drops and executes temporary batch scripts to establish persistence.

Defense evasion techniques:

Detects debugging and sandbox environments (IsDebuggerPresent, virtualization checks).

Uses long sleep delays and obfuscation.

Performs indirect command execution via CMD and BAT files.

Attempts indicator removal and registry manipulation.

Execution & system interaction:

Executes commands via cmd.exe and batch files.

Enumerates system and security-related information.

Modifies registry keys associated with Explorer policies and system configuration.

Performs process injection–related activity consistent with RAT implants.

Network & C2 indicators:

Communicates with multiple suspicious external domains and IPs, including:

789bet-trangchu.vip

open88top1.com

alloparentsbebe.org

Uses uncommon destination ports (8080, 8443, 6606).

Network traffic matches malicious JA3 SSL fingerprints associated with AsyncRAT.

Conclusion:
Based on high AV detection rates, confirmed sandbox verdicts, persistence via scheduled tasks, defense evasion techniques, and suspicious C2 communications, this sample is conclusively identified as a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). The behavior and network patterns are consistent with AsyncRAT-like malware, posing a significant security risk.
