The idea is to create a &#8220;magic password.&#8221; If the &#8220;magic password&#8221; is entered inside any user authentication session, the user is automatically granted access, while normal logging and audit functions are prevented from executing, effectively creating a ghost session inside the server.<\/p>\n<p>According to ESET, skip-2.0 only works with MSSQL v12 and v11 servers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even though MSSQL Server 12 is not the most recent version (released in 2014), it is the most commonly<br \/>used one according to Censys&#8217; data,&#8221; researchers said.<\/p>\n<h3>Part of the Winnti\/APT41 arsenal<\/h3>\n<p>The backdoor has been linked to &#8220;the Winnti Group,&#8221; a generic name ESET uses to describe Chinese state-sponsored hackers.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>ESET said the skip-2.0 code contained clues that linked it to other Winnti hacking tools, such as the PortReuse and ShadowPad backdoors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2019\/10\/14\/connecting-dots-exposing-arsenal-methods-winnti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">PortReuse<\/a> is an IIS server backdoor that ESET found on the compromised networks of hardware and software vendors across South Asia earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securelist.com\/shadowpad-in-corporate-networks\/81432\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">ShadowPad<\/a> is a Windows backdoor trojan that was first seen injected inside apps manufactured by South Korean software maker NetSarang after Chinese hackers breached its infrastructure back in mid-2017.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Considering that administrative privileges are required for installing the hooks, skip-2.0 must be used on already compromised MSSQL Servers to achieve persistence and stealthiness,&#8221; ESET researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>However, the ESET team notes that once this hurdle is passed, skip-2.0 can be one of the most powerful tools in Winnti&#8217;s arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Such a backdoor could allow an attacker to stealthily copy, modify or delete database content. This could be used, for example, to manipulate in-game currencies for financial gain. In-game currency database manipulations by Winnti operators have already been reported,&#8221; ESET researchers said, referring to <a
