We caught RUTSSTAGER, a malware that stores a DLL in the Windows registry in hexadecimal form, hiding the payload and delaying detection. In the observed chain, the stager delivered OrcusRAT, followed by a supporting binary that maintains persistence, uses PowerShell for system checks, and restarts the RAT process.

In the ANYRUN Sandbox, behavioral analysis and file system monitoring exposed the full execution chain. Process synchronization events revealed coordination between the stager and its payload, helping confirm multi-stage malware activity early.
