Trojan:PowerShell/FakeMas.DA!MTB – Is Your Microsoft Activation Script Actually Malware?

Unmasking the liquidation of Windows host security through malicious MAS-mimicry siphons and fileless persistence primitives.

I. Executive Intelligence Summary

In the 2026 threat landscape, siphoning syndicates have increasingly unmasked the “Utility Gap” in enterprise environments. Trojan:PowerShell/FakeMas.DA!MTB represents a surgical exploitation of administrative trust. By masquerading as the popular Microsoft Activation Script (MAS), this malware siphons elevated privileges to execute fileless liquidation of host defenses.

CyberDudeBivash Pvt. Ltd. forensic teams have unmasked the operational kill-chain: a multi-stage PowerShell siphon that sequestrates system resources, liquidates EDR telemetry, and installs a persistent backdoor via WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). This mandate dissects the obfuscated script logic and provides the sovereign blockade required to sequestrate your OS enclaves.

II. Anatomy of FakeMas: The PowerShell Siphon

Attackers capitalize on the widespread use of activation scripts in shadow IT environments. FakeMas.DA!MTB is typically siphoned through malicious GitHub repositories or third-party “warez” forums. It unmasks the host’s security posture by requiring “Run as Administrator” to function—a request the user willingly grants under the guise of license activation.

1. Obfuscated Script Liquidation

The initial script siphons secondary and tertiary stages via `Invoke-Expression` (IEX) or `Invoke-WebRequest` (IWR) targeting C2 (Command & Control) endpoints. The code is heavily obfuscated using Base64, AES-encryption, and backtick siphons to bypass Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) blockades. Once unmasked in memory, the payload sequestrates the local LSASS process to harvest credentials and liquidates the Windows Defender real-time monitoring engine.

2. Persistence via WMI & Registry Siphons

Unlike traditional trojans, FakeMas avoids siphoning files to the disk. It sequestrates its persistence within the Windows Registry or WMI Event Subscribers. This allows the malware to be unmasked only upon system reboot or specific event triggers, liquidating the efficacy of standard file-based antivirus scanners.

III. Institutional Mitigation: Hardening the Host Enclave

To prevent the liquidation of your OS integrity by FakeMas siphons, CyberDudeBivash Pvt. Ltd. mandates the following defensive primitives:

1. PowerShell Execution Policy Sequestration

Liquidate the ability of unassigned scripts to execute with administrative rights. Mandate AllSigned execution policies across the enterprise. Unmask any unusual `powershell.exe` child processes—particularly those originating from browsers or unverified downloaders—in your SOC triage logs.

2. AMSI & Script Block Logging

Sequestrate the visibility of fileless attacks by enabling PowerShell Script Block Logging (Event ID 4104). This allows your forensic team to unmask the de-obfuscated script code as it executes in memory. Anchor your host logging in Kaspersky EDR to ensure real-time liquidation of malicious threads.

IV. Forensic Integration: The CyberDudeBivash Arsenal

Our Top 10 open-source tools provide the forensic primitives necessary to unmask PowerShell siphons before they liquidate your OS.

SecretsGuard™ Pro
Unmask any administrative credentials siphoned from memory by FakeMas. SecretsGuard™ Pro sequestrates these leaks before they can be used for lateral movement.

Autonomous SOC Alert Triage Bot
Siphon your Windows Event Logs into our triage bot. We unmask suspicious `Invoke-Expression` patterns and liquidate the malicious process instantly.

PhishGuard AI
Unmask the initial siphoning attempt. Our AI detects the fake GitHub repos and malicious forums used to distribute FakeMas, sequestrating the threat at the browser level.
