ShimRatReporter is a tool used by suspected Chinese adversary Mofang to automatically conduct initial discovery. The details from this discovery are used to customize follow-on payloads (such as ShimRat) as well as set up faux infrastructure which mimics the adversary's targets. ShimRatReporter has been used in campaigns targeting multiple countries and sectors including government, military, critical infrastructure, automobile, and weapons development.[1]

MITRE reference S0445
ShimRatReporter sent collected system and network information compiled into a report to an adversary-controlled C2.3
ShimRatReporter encrypted gathered information with a combination of shifting and XOR using a static key.4
ShimRatReporter spoofed itself as AlphaZawgyl_font.exe, a specialized Unicode font.5
ShimRatReporter sent generated reports to the C2 via HTTP POST requests.6
ShimRatReporter used the Windows function GetExtendedUdpTable to detect connected UDP endpoints.7
Standing S0445
Reach is how much of ATT&CK this tool touches. Coverage is how well defended each thing it does is, as a median per technique rather than a total — a total would just restate the reach. Each figure is ranked against all 825 ATT&CK software entries only where that population actually spreads. Where most of the population shares one value, a percentile would rank the tie instead of the entity, so the raw value is shown and no rank is claimed.
Reach
Techniques1670th pct
70th percentile · 70% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have this many Enterprise techniques or fewer.
Tactics653rd pct
53rd percentile · 53% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have this many tactics spanned or fewer.
Threat group161% tie · 22 values
61% of the population shares a single value across only 22 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
Campaigns085% tie · 8 values
85% of the population shares a single value across only 8 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
