This zipped email attachment was received a few days ago and block by antispam policy. It contained a very large ISO/EXE file similar to the diary published by Zavier [1] last week. Instead of using Remnux, I submitted this file to a sandbox. 

This is a summary of the result of the analysis. This malware communicate with the C2 site bitrat9300.duckdns[.]org over TCP/9300. This port is also used by Elasticsearch to connect to remote clusters.

Linux Command

sudo mount -o loop AMD8J46DH_ETRANFER_RECEIPT.iso /mnt
strings -t x AMD8J46DH_ETRANFER_RECEIPT.exe

File Size at Various Stages

-r-xr-xr-x. 1 guy guy 314572800 Jun  4 11:34 AMD8J46DH_ETRANFER_RECEIPT.exe
-rw-rw-r--. 1 guy guy 315176960 May 26 22:37 AMD8J46DH_ETRANFER_RECEIPT.iso
-rw-rw-r--. 1 guy guy   1888843 Jun  4 11:11 AMD8J46DH_ETRANFER_RECEIPT.zip

I noticed the EXE contained the following SmartAssembly URL. "SmartAssembly is an obfuscator that helps protect your application against reverse-engineering or modification, by making it difficult for a third-party to access your source code."[4]
