Kimwolf v7: An Evolution of the Kimwolf Botnet

This report analyzes Kimwolf v7, an evolved Android/IoT botnet that targets Android TV/set-top boxes and delivers advanced DDoS capabilities (including an HTTP/2 flood that spoofs browser fingerprints and an ARM NEON-optimized UDP flood). The variant implements a three-tier C2 resolution system (ENS via hard-coded Ethereum RPC endpoints with an operator RPC facade, a Tor .onion fallback, and a local proxy), removes scanning/exploitation functionality in favor of a focused attack/proxy payload, and includes multiple IoCs (file hashes, APKs, domains, IPs, and a Tor hidden service) and operational recommendations for detection and mitigation.
