HTTPTroy is a highly obfuscated backdoor that facilitates collection, command and control, defense evasion and exfiltration. HTTPTroy was first reported in October 2025. HTTPTroy has been observed in operations attributed to DPRK-affiliated threat actors, including Kimsuky. HTTPTroy has been delivered to victims through a separate loader leveraged by Kimsuky.[1]

MITRE reference S9007
HTTPTroy has utilized dynamic API resolution by reconstructing API calls during runtime using combinations of arithmetic and logical operations to complicate static analysis.3
HTTPTroy has exfiltrated encrypted data over the C2 channel using the up <FILENAME> command.4
HTTPTroy has the ability to generate a reverse shell using the command conn <IP_ADDRESS> <PORT>.5
HTTPTroy can terminate its running process and then remove traces of itself through the die <COMMAND> command.6
HTTPTroy has used HTTP POST requests to communicate with C2.7
Standing S9007
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
Techniques1357th pct
57th percentile · 57% 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.
