One day I when tracing the php injected infector code I bumped to a web site below:
With the following URL:h00p://62.152.104.149/public/meeting/
It looks like a strange meeting download set files since jar java set looks so
"attractive", like as they're yelling to me "click me... click me!" :-)
So I decided to investigate further about this site, starting w/this page.
The HTTP communications :
As per pic above it's suppose to be :Apache/2.2.17 (Fedora) Server at 62.152.104.149 Port 80
Let's see whether it really is the Apache side original index..GET /public/meeting/ HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: MalwareMustDieBuilt libcurl/7.21.4 zlib/1.2.5

:(blah blah)
It is real, so in directory of /public/meeting/ the claimed files looks exists..
I am not trusting any infection related service that easy.. is a habit..
Just fetch as much files as I can & found the /public/meeting/ has no further files
except what I already got.
Also found this web server contains some base security setting flaws which
I am not going to expose it here, I assume those were the reason the malicious
files were uploaded. Script kiddies..
BTW, for the server admin, the uploaded date was Aug 30th,
please check your log around that time, some SQLi will cause some error_log in Apache
(based on my experience)
What malicious scheme is it?
If we go back to the directory contents people are tend to click the known
html file, in out example is notice.html
Let's grab it:--20:24:12-- h00p://62.152.104.149/public/meeting/notice.html
=> `notice.html'

It contains the code like this -->>[CLICK]
(PS: I neutralized some characters so the text code will not infected you)
This code is having 3 major steps:1. To execute Javascript file "deployJava.js" to deploy JRE v1.7 in your PC
(if you are detected using IE & in case you don't have one)
Below is the snipcode:
2. Executing malicious applet "applet.jar" by passing the initial parameter via
this browser as per coded below:
3. As per ↑pic above, using IFRAME to execute the download of "feq.html" file,
which feq.html will be explained below eventually.
*) those files "deployJava.js", "feq.html" and "applet.jar" are in same dir.
What is inside of the applet.jar?
It contains the code like this:---->>[CLICK]
(PS: I neutralized some characters so the text code will not infected you)
applet.jar is containing ex-ZeroDay CVE-2012-4681 flaw, easiest way to recognize it
by grep'ing the below strings in code:java.security.ProtectionDomain
java.security.Permissions
java.security/cert.Certificate
setSecurityManager
file:///
sun.awt.SunToolkit
getField
Exploit Code Grepped Result Pic:
↑Accordingly we know the infector url scheme goes like these below steps:1. Attempting user to click the notice.html
2. Making sure the browser is IE & then
3. Installing the zeroday flaw version of java in user's PC
4. Executing the applet.jar to exploit JRE to exec batch file to -
download feq.html to PC w/name SVCHOST.EXE and execute it.
The payload is "feq.html", a binary file camouflaged as HTML one.
The file itself looks like this SVCHOST.EXE after being dropped to your PC:
Let's analyze this binary a bit:Plain PE Binary:

Up to this point of view I can see a pattern of trojan dropper,
the packed area shows some list of names suggesting urls like:
"hec. to " & "http://%s" so on, but some packed area confusing a bit need my full
reversing effort to crack it well..
According to the complete calls there are a lot of information -
achived by those calls there which showing a possibility of spyware.
There must be internet traffic made since the TLS and socket operations
are detected.
Since I was not in the mood to reverse this mess further -
considering the date of this payload is already a 12days old,
so I know that someone must have been analyzed this well,
then let's no need to waste our time further & make it faster, so just
run it & check the forensics result of it ...and got these details:Dropped:

Very good, we know exactly what mess that we're dealing with now,
it is a trojan malware for sure. let's see the network traffic made by it
(I am a huge fan of tcpdump!).
While running the dropped sample we got the DNS Request of ipad.hec.to host:Req:

So the detection rates of this infection started from the infector is as below:notice.html -----> applet.jar ----> scvhost.exe ----> mdm.exe
(0/42) (15/42) (25/42) (35/42)
Let's summarize the moral of this story which are:1. See the dates of the sample findings I detected few hours today
who said that CVE-2012-4681 infector attack is over? The code is-
a bit improving the way I saw it.
2. Gentlemen, DO NOT leave your web server unset & unattained online.
You'll get these mess injected to it..
3. AntiVirus products is aiming mostly to payload malware than to its
infectors, since the base scanning (pattern macthing ) cannot detect
all possible scheme of infector files, w/o gaining False Positive.
It's time to think another vector of scanning these infector, smarter one!
And this is why I feel those malware retards are laughing at us now...
