Intelligence Profile
According to Nexttron Systems, RegPhantom is a stealthy Windows kernel rootkit designed to give attackers code execution in kernel mode while leaving very little visible evidence behind. The malware abuses the Windows registry as a covert trigger mechanism: a usermode process can send an encrypted command through a registry write, which the driver intercepts and turns into arbitrary kernel-mode code execution.
