EVLF DEV leveraged a dedicated Telegram channel, "EvLF Devz," which grew to host more than 10,000 subscribers. Through this network, the developer sold to individual threat actors. Over 100 distinct lifetime licenses were distributed. This distribution chain triggered a massive ripple effect in the hacking community, as buyers eventually leaked or sold "cracked" versions of the builders, lowering the barrier to entry for novice cybercriminals.

In testing, the Cypher RAT EVLF demonstrated remarkable stability and performance. Connections were generally reliable, with minimal to no lag reported during remote control sessions or file transfers. The software's ability to operate unnoticed in the background, without significantly impacting system resources, speaks to its efficiency and the developer's focus on avoiding detection.

While CypherRAT acts as a standalone mobile threat, EVLF's is particularly noted for its user-friendly interface. CraxsRAT is an Android trojan that enables attackers to control infected mobile devices directly from a Windows computer. The malicious payload is generated using a custom builder, which allows the buyer to obfuscate the code, choose specific app icons and names, and dictate exactly which permissions need to be granted upon installation.
Instead of using these RATs for targeted, solitary attacks, EVLF adopted the model. Since around September 2022, EVLF has operated an exclusive web shop to advertise their wares, offering comprehensive toolkits to other cybercriminals. Over a three-year span, approximately 100 unique threat actors purchased lifetime licenses to use CypherRAT and CraxsRAT, utilizing EVLF’s creations to launch their own malicious campaigns.
