DarkEyE

DarkEyE is a malicious tool that was previously sold on hacking forums as a utility that cybercriminals could use to protect their malware from being dissected and analyzed. DarkEyE achieves this by using clever obfuscation techniques, which, according to the creator, 'protect your files against revere engineering and cracking procedures.' The DarkEyE Protector was also sold on a public website that is now offering a similar product titled 'CloudEyE' – it is safe to assume that CloudEyE is a new update to DarkEyE, and both tools serve a similar purpose.

DarkEyE can work either as a Trojan Downloader or as a crypter meant to obfuscate the contents of an executable. According to the creator, DarkEyE is able to make files FUD (Fully Undetectable) – a term that hackers use to describe malware that cannot be caught by antivirus software. Thankfully, the claims of DarkEyE's creator are false, and you can rest assured that an up-to-date anti-malware software can protect you from threats obfuscated via DarkEyE.

Projects like DarkEyE are one of the main reasons why any cybercriminal can end up creating an advanced malware project – they can rely on external tools to help them with certain features such as gaining persistence, staying undetected, or exploiting specific vulnerabilities. Thankfully, you can protect yourself from all this by investing in an up-to-date anti-malware service.
