Context

VJW0rm (aka Vengeance Justice Worm) is a publicly available, modular JavaScript RAT. Vjw0rm was first released in November 2016 by its primary author, v_B01 (aka Sliemerez), within the prominent DevPoint Arabic-language malware development community. VJW0rm appears to be the JavaScript variant of a series of RATs with identical functionality released by the author throughout late 2016. Other variants include a Visual Basic Script (VBS) based worm titled vw0rm (Vengeance Worm), an AutoHotkey-based tool called vrw0rm (Vengeance Rise Worm), and a PowerShell-based variant called vdw0rm (Vengeance Depth Worm).
