The particular example given in the report is JBiFrost, a trojan typically employed by low-skilled cyber criminals but with the capability to be exploited by state actors.

Perhaps the most potentially damaging of the dangers detailed in the report are remote access trojans - malware which is secretly installed onto an infected system providing a backdoor to observe all activity and enabling the attacker to carry out commands that lead to data being stolen. The UK's National Cyber Security Agency notes that the list of tools is far from exhaustive, but it's designed to help network defenders protect against some of the most commonly used free hacking tools.

'Experience from all our countries makes it clear that, while cyber actors continue to develop their capabilities, they still make use of established tools and techniques. 'Tools and techniques for exploiting networks and the data they hold are by no means the preserve of nation states, or criminals on the Dark Web,' said the report. Combinations of some or all of these have been used in attack campaigns by some of the most prolific attackers around. They are all freely available - often on the open web - and include remote access trojans, web shells and obfuscation tools. The research by the nations involved in the 'Five Eyes' intelligence sharing arrangement provides a snapshot of some of threats posed by cyber actors worldwide by detailing some of the commonly available tools used in attacks.
