LAMEHUG: An LLM-Driven Malware for Dynamic Reconnaissance and Data Exfiltration
A novel AI-driven threat leverages LLMs on Hugging Face to execute adaptive reconnaissance and data exfiltration in real time. Rather than relying on static scripts or prewritten payloads, LAMEHUG dynamically queries a Qwen 2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct model via the Hugging Face API to generate Windows command-shell instructions tailored to its current environment. This capability enables on-the-fly reconnaissance,…
