A custom trojan backdoor dubbed Titanium was spotted as the final payload in a sophisticated and complex malware installation code set. The malware hides along the way during each of these steps by mimicking file names for common software, including security packages, sound drivers and DVD video-creation tools.

It also features an interactive mode which allows to the attacker to receive input from console programs.
