Ensiko Remote Shell

Ensiko is a PHP web shell that appears to have been created by an unidentified Indonesian threat actor.

Primarily used to perform ransomware attacks against vulnerable web systems, it has a host of additional functionality that can be deployed by it’s operators.

Once delivered, Ensiko will attempt to scan the affected system for other web shells, sending details of any found along with system information to a command and control server. It then connects to a PasteBin site to load several additional tools.

Ensiko’s primary function appears to be as a ransomware tool. Files are targeted using a list provided from the C2 server and are encrypted using the Rijndeal-128 algorithm in CBC mode. Encrypted files are then appended with the extension .bak.

The following is a list of Ensiko’s capabilities:
