SectopRAT loader: stp_aim_x64_vc15.dll load with Activation.Desktop.db access
Detects the SectopRAT shellcode execution stage by identifying the concurrent access of a specific encrypted database file (Activation.Desktop.db) and the loading of a malicious DLL (stp_aim_x64_vc15.dll) on the same device within a 5-minute window. This behavior suggests the decryption and execution of shellcode via DLL callback abuse.
