RedEnergy Stealer

This technical analysis describes RedEnergy, a three-stage .NET malware that masquerades as browser updates to gain execution, drops multiple temporary executables, establishes C2 communications (notably domains like 2no.co and downloads from cdn.discord and an observed IP 51.68.11.192), and implements persistence via the Windows startup folder. The payload includes stealer capabilities and a ransomware module that encrypts files with the ".FACKOFF!" extension using Rijndael, deletes volume shadow copies and backup catalogs, alters desktop.ini, drops ransom notes, and exposes multiple IOCs (file hashes, filenames, network indicators) useful for detection and response.
