Overview, Example and Technical Details
In this article, we will discuss the topic of clippers on the Android platform. I will provide an example of a simple clipper, explain its inner workings, and talk about cryptocurrency wallet patterns.
What does a clipper do? -
clipper is a malware that monitors the contents of the clipboard on the victim's device. It waits for the victim to copy the address of the cryptocurrency wallet.
After that, the clipper checks if the text in the clipboard matches the cryptocurrency address pattern. If a match is found, the clipper replaces the original address with an address controlled by the attacker.
The victim, without double-checking the address, sends funds to the replaced address. The principle of operation is simple, but effective. Let's move on to technical details.
