OneClik Malware Hijacks Microsoft ClickOnce to Attack Energy Sector

A new malware campaign uses Microsoft’s ClickOnce deployment tool and stealthy Golang backdoors to target energy, oil, and gas companies through phishing. Attackers deliver malware disguised as legitimate software, exploiting trusted Windows processes to bypass defences.

Researchers from Trellix discovered OneClik’s modular loader exploits AppDomainManager injection to run encrypted backdoors under normal system processes. The malware communicates via cloud-hosted infrastructure, making detection difficult. Variants found in 2025 show increasing sophistication in evasion and lateral movement capabilities, highlighting evolving threats to critical infrastructure.

OneClik Malware Targets Energy Sector Using Microsoft ClickOnce and Golang Backdoors

[flux443]

Energy sector is being targeted with malware that exploits Microsoft's ClickOnce deployment on AWS cloud services.

A sophisticated hacking campaign dubbed “OneClik” is exploiting Microsoft’s ClickOnce deployment technology and AWS cloud services to stealthily target organizations in the energy, oil, and gas sectors. Attackers initiate the attack through phishing emails containing links to fake “hardware analysis” sites hosted on Azure Blob Storage. These sites deliver a ClickOnce manifest (.application file)…

Visual Studio Ctrl F5

Visual Studio Ctrl F5 Tutorial

ConfuserEx for Visual Studio integrates the free and open source ConfuserEx protector into Visual Studio for easy automatic obfuscation of release builds and ClickOnce applications. ConfuserEx is included with this extension. Set up the ConfuserEX protections to enable in the ConfuserEx options page in Tools-Options. Saved Window layouts. Allison shows how saved window layouts can save you time when you’re writing code. No matter if you need different windows for debugging or working on different work items, she shows how saving layouts or different tool panels can speed up productivity in Visual Studio. Note: Projects should be run using F5 or the Debug menu for full debugging functionality. Running from the built-in terminal will not provide all features. Install from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace or by searching within VS Code. Please see the Flutter documentation for using VS Code. Reporting Issues. Visual Studio Code lets you perform most tasks directly from the keyboard. This page lists out the default bindings (keyboard shortcuts) and describes how you can update them. Note: If you visit this page on a Mac, you will see the key bindings for the Mac. If you visit using Windows or Linux, you will see the keys for that platform.

Windows Remix Review

2 0

Review of Windows Remix powered by the Slant community.

Windows Remix allows you to create your own selection of free software that can be batch-installed with a single click.

It does this by implementing a dotnet-based smart client application (Microsoft ClickOnce) using a combination of techniques like Boxstarter, Chocolatey and NuGet.

There are many graphical user interfaces for batch-installing software out there, but this is the only one that can do it straight from the browser. No need to download a GUI after installing Windows; you can just go to the website and click away.

In general, Commerce is optimized for the internet.

How to allow executable .exe files to be downloaded with ASP.NET Core and UseStaticFiles middleware

In the long process of upgrading this blog and moving it to Azure I've been slowly fixing small bugs and also dealing with the dozens of microsites I have hanging off of hanselman.com. Some were forgotten, and some just keep chugging along. https://www.babysmash.com/ is one of them.

BabySmash is a silly WPF app I wrote 15 years ago for my baby, natch. He's now learning to drive a car, but it still gets thousands of downloads a month. The code is on Github.

The ClickOnce application and manifests hangs off of http://hanselman.com/babysmash, but the /setup.exe returns a 404.

I had assumed that using this simple code in my Startup.cs's Configure() method would enable static files like setup.exe:

app.UseDefaultFiles(); app.UseStaticFiles();

This was naive I suppose as ASP.NET Core is very much locked down by default so you are really encouraged to be specific and there are few unsafe defaults.

UseStaticFiles includes a parameter for options, so I needed to update the list of mappings from extension to mime/type. So this little helper function:

private StaticFileOptions GetStaticFileOptions() { var p = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider(); p.Mappings[".exe"] = "application/octect-stream"; return new StaticFileOptions { ContentTypeProvider = p }; }

and then you pass that StaticFileOptions class into UseStaticFiles.

app.UseStaticFiles(GetStaticFileOptions());

Clearly a "secure by default" decision, but also one that's easily extended for my needs.
