A new Python-based hacking tool called FBot has emerged, targeting web servers, cloud services, and SaaS platforms. It includes features for credential harvesting, hijacking AWS and PayPal accounts, and attacking SaaS accounts. Similar to other cloud hacking tools, FBot aims to hijack cloud and SaaS services and monetize stolen access. The tool is actively used but its distribution and maintenance are not fully understood.
Based on the meeting notes, here are the key takeaways:
1. A new Python-based hacking tool called FBot has been discovered, with features including credential harvesting for spamming attacks and AWS account hijacking tools.
2. FBot targets web servers, cloud services, CMS, and SaaS platforms like AWS, Microsoft 365, PayPal, Sendgrid, and Twilio.
3. FBot exhibits similarities with existing cloud hacking tools like AlienFox, GreenBot, Legion, and Predator.
4. It is designed to hijack cloud, SaaS, and web services, as well as harvest credentials for initial access to be monetized.
5. FBot can generate API keys for AWS and Sendgrid, run reverse IP scanners, validate PayPal accounts, and extract credentials from Laravel environment files.
6. The origins and distribution of FBot are currently not fully known, but it is actively being used in the wild and may be distributed through private, bespoke operations.
Let me know if there’s anything else you would like to extract from the notes!
