VShell 4.9.3 Windows stage (i386, tcp) served by 148.66.17.125:60003 to its stager. Derived artefact, not the bytes on the wire: the server reply is XOR 0x99 encoded; this is the decoded result. Go loader with MZER self-loading header; the implant DLL is a gzip asset inside. Config (AES-128-CBC block, key = iv = first 16 bytes = MD5 of vkey): server 148.66.17.125:60003, type tcp, vkey and salt left at the framework default, heartbeat 10, delay 30.
