Binary Validator
Binary Validator is a Mach-O binary file used during Operation Triangulation.[1] Binary Validator first collects information about the device, such as the device's phone number and a list of installed applications, before the deployment of the TriangleDB implant. After the actions are completed and the data is collected, Binary Validator encrypts and sends the data to the C2 server, and in turn, the C2 server sends the TriangleDB implant.
