### Establishing Backdoor for Persistence
The attackers have successfully deployed a backdoor within the target's network, ensuring their ability to maintain access over an extended period.

#### Key Findings:
- **Backdoor Type**: Custom-developed Trojan with rootkit capabilities.
- **Persistence Mechanism**: Installation of services that auto-start with the system.
- **Command and Control**: Encrypted communications with C2 servers to avoid detection.

#### Next Steps:
Prepare for potential lateral movement as attackers explore the network to identify valuable targets.
