The infamous malware has incorporated the legitimate Masscan tool, which looks for open TCP/IP ports with lightning-fast results.
The TrickBot trojan is continuing its bounce-back from an autumn takedown, recently adding a network-scanning module that uses the Masscan open-source tool to look for open ports.
Masscan is a mass TCP/IP port scanner, which can scan the entire internet in under five minutes according to its authors, transmitting 10 million packets per second of data from a single machine. The TrickBot module that uses it, dubbed “masrv,” is likely used for network reconnaissance, according to researchers at Kryptos Logic.
