SECRET//ORCON//NOFORN
1.1 Concept of Operations
Assassin is a stage one automated Implant that provides a simple collection
platform on remote computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Once the tool is installed on the target, the Implant is injected into and runs within a
Windows service process. Assassin will then periodically beacon to its configured
listening post(s) to request tasking and deliver results. Communication occurs over
one or more transport protocols as configured before or during deployment.
