## Overview
Post spear phishing email detection, a malicious payload was executed on a compromised system. This payload is suspected to be a variant of the Gh0st RAT, known for its stealth capabilities.

## Key Findings
- **Payload Analysis**: The payload exhibited obfuscation techniques, hindering detection by conventional antivirus systems.
- **Command and Control (C2) Communication**: Established a connection to a known APT17 IP address.

## Recommendations
- **Network Monitoring**: Implement deep packet inspection to identify anomalous outbound traffic.
- **Endpoint Security**: Deploy advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to identify and mitigate threats.
