    SBZ framework

  • Description

    SBZ is a complex framework that supports multiple exfiltration methods and complicated networking infrastructure, including addressing, redirection, and routing. SBZ probably refers to STRAITBIZZARE, a cyber-espionage platform used by the Equation Group. It is also interesting to note the overlap between the Interface IDs from the DanderSpritz samples from the ShadowBrokers’ dump “Lost in Translation” and the Interface IDs in the framework we were able to correlate. Our two private reports provided technical information on the Windows and SPARC variants respectively.
