Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 29/09/2026Oh I just discovered I missed Flare-On. Too busy trying to appeal to businesses to reverse for fun. That'll teach me to pay attention. 010
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 27/09/2026This has been happening a lot lately: * fail in reversing some part of a sample, feel incompetent * crack open a new sample, feel competent again as I take apart a custom API loader I think the problem is my depression more than anything. It's constantly tricking me into thinking I'm incompetent. 020
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 27/09/2026It's such a huge pain to my reversing pride that Go obfuscation kicks my ass so much. I think I have to give up on reversing this VShell sample, I've gotten as far as I could. I need to find more Go samples to practice with. 020
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 26/09/2026Updated my copy of GoReSym, magically recovered more obfuscated symbols. Here I was banging my head against the wall because it kept saying it couldn't find the pclntab. I guess Mandiant is looking at the same malware I was! 000
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 24/09/2026Major headway! I found the bootstrapping function where it eventually transfers to the pure Go routine. Now to find where it stored the pclntab. 000
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 24/09/2026Has anyone else seen this before? Shellcode written in CGo that bootstraps a Go environment. I'm struggling to reverse the loader because I'm not very well versed in Go reversing. And before you ask, GoReSym is failing too! #malware #malware_analysis 100

Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 22/09/2026VShell is fucking with me. It loads a position-independent shellcode with Go artifacts that loads from the DOS header that's also a valid PE file. I think it loads its Go runtime in the shellcode loading process. This is fun, but confusing! 000
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 22/09/2026God the VShell crew is constantly updating their Go payload loader. Makes me annoyed since I was so accustomed to their current loader. 000
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 22/09/2026They are truly sending people to piracy and don't even care lol 000
Amethyst Basilisk @amethyst.systems · 21/09/2026Seeing a significant uptick in VShell campaigns on MalwareBazaar. I think I see an opportunity to report on this malware family! 000
