https://raw.githubusercontent[.]com/r1ng/news/master/README.md The malware accesses the URL and decodes the characters between the string “[Rudeltaktik]” and character “!” using BASE64. Rudeltaktik]MTE1LjY4LjQ5LjE3OTo4MA==! UBoatRAT uses a custom command and control protocol to communicate with the attacker’s server. The malware places the string '488' (0x34, 0x38, 0x38 in HEX) at the top of the payload or instruction and encrypts the entire buffer with the static key 0x88 by using simple XOR cipher. Then the network payload always starts with 0xBC, 0xB0, 0xB0
