TrailBlazer

TrailBlazer
(Type: Backdoor)

(CrowdStrike) TrailBlazer is a sophisticated malware family that provides modular functionality and a very low prevalence. The malware shares high-level functionality with other malware families. In particular, the use of random identifier strings for C2 operations and result codes, and attempts to hide C2 communications in seemingly legitimate web traffic, were previously observed tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) in {{GoldMax}} and {{SUNBURST}}.
