Solartime

Solartime helps to modify the partition boot sector to load some kernel code. This Modification leads to modifies the Windows boot process so that when Windows loads boot time device.

A small file combined with implant driver and Solartime boot code is placed into a Small file on Disk and that Specific File is encrypted.

Wolfcreek

In other words, a process created and the implant is loaded directly into memory. Currently, all processes will be created as svchost.

BadMFS

BadMFS is a covert file system that helps to store all drivers and implants that Wolfcreek will start. It uses the encryption and obfuscation techniques to avoid string or PE header scanning.

Windows Transitory File system

Finally, a new method called Windows Transitory File system helps to install Angelfire. CIA Document says the system allows an operator to create transitory files for specific actions including installation, adding files to Angelfire, removing files from Angelfire.
