To blend in with native Windows infrastructure, the decrypted loader utilizes . The malware creates a legitimate Windows process context (frequently RegSvcs.exe or standard system tools) in a suspended state, wipes its memory space, and replaces it with the compiled XWorm 3.1 runtime binary. 4. Establishing Persistence
: Typically uses TCP or HTTP-based communication with a hardcoded or configurable C2 server. It may use XOR or simple encryption to obfuscate traffic.
