Sample for Sanny / Win32.Daws in CVE-2012-0158 "ACEAN Regional Security Forum" targeting Russian companies

End of the year presents continue.
Here is an excellent analysis made by the Fireeye: To Russia with Targeted Attack. I am posting all the necessary details for this type of malware to be findable on Google plus the sample and pcap for signature development. Fireeye named it “Sanny” after one of the email addresses and many AV vendors called the dropper Win32.Daws.

OSX/Dockster.A and Win32/Trojan.Agent.AXMO Samples, pcaps, OSX malware analysis tools

 featuring a leopard and a lion

Better late than never. Here are the samples of the recent twin newsmakers OSX/Dockster.A and Win32/Trojan.Agent.AXMO.  The malware was already described and hashes published but I thought I would add traffic captures and samples themselves.

 I ran these samples on Thursday, November 29  (OSX) and Friday, November 30 (Agent.AXMO) when the C&C servers were still online. Intego mentioned the address itsec.eicp.net was not registered and it was possibly a test but it is a dynamic DNS address and it was down by the weekend.Credit for the sample goes to an anonymous Santa. 

I have to admit that my knowledge of  OSX malware leaves much to be desired. When we deal with Windows malware, range of choices for capturing, logging, recording, and analyzing is similar to this. I cannot name more than a few for MAC OSX - Wireshark, native Apple syslogs, IDA, Macmemoryze from Mandiant, and a few more below. If you have some good recent papers and tools lists for OSX malware analysis please share.

Common Exploit Kits 2012 Poster (based on Exploit pack table Update 18, Nov 12, 2012)

Update November 14, 2012
1. We forgot to mention that in the best tradition of the Antivirus industry, all posters come with one (1) year of free updates. Email us when a new version of the poster comes out ( use same email address or reply to the original message) and we will send you the file (same size you ordered, in JPG format). We cannot reprint Zazzle posters but you can use your own printing, or upload and order your own from Zazzle.

2. We added two more sizes for smaller wall spaces and budgets (asking for $15 and $10 to be donated to charity )

This update to the exploit pack table comes in the form of a poster (Exploit pack table update 18 is coming soon too).
The poster includes most common exploit packs of 2012. The poster will be updated and new issues posted in the future.







Poster sizes: 

If you wish to order a larger poster print,  (up to 60"x40" or 152cm x 101cm), follow this link to Zazzle.com 
Zazzle cancelled orders due to logos in fish images, despite the fact that their use falls under "Nominative Fair use" policy  (Read: "Lawful use of another's trademark") and we make zero money on it. Here is an example of PC magazine using it lawfully to compare browsers  - they also publish and sell their magazine is stores.
We filed a complaint with Zazzle. But even if they don't cancel,  Zazzle is also very overpriced so you are likely to find cheaper ways to print it. so we do not recommend using it anymore.

If Zazzle cancelled your order, email us and we will send you the full file for free.

CVE-2012-5076 Java sample from "Cool" exploit pack

Here is quick post for a CVE-2012-5076 sample (from Cool pack, as described by Kafeine here Cool EK : "Hello my friend..." CVE-2012-5076 )

Group Photos.zip OSX/Revir | OSX/iMuler samples March 2012-November 2012

Sophos posted information about a variant of iMuler OSX trojan targeting Tibet activists (New variant of Mac Trojan discovered, targeting Tibet )  and posted the MD5 2d84bfbae1f1b7ab0fc1ca9dd372d35e (FileAgent 37.3 KB) of the trojan  . This post is for the actual dropper, which is a full 1.9 MB package (Group photo.zip MD5: 9e34256ded3a2ead43f7a51b9f197937)

 I don't have a Mac OS VM handy tonight to provide more details about the traffic or behavior so I will just describe the package and post the previous version of the same trojan that was targeting fans of Russian topless models.

CVE-2012-1535 Sep.9, 2012 "房號表.doc - Data for Reference.doc" and Taidoor trojan sample set for signature development

As promised, here is one sample of CVE-2012-1535 that you can use to follow the exploit analysis in the previous post CVE-2012-1535 Adobe Flash Player Integer Overflow Vulnerability Analysis by Brian Mariani & Frédéric Bourla. It is from September 9, 2012, I have one from October, which I will post shortly as well. If you are not interested in the exploit, you can use the Taidoor payload plus 18 other Taidoor binaries to develop your own signatures for this trojan or test your AV. 

This message was sent to Taiwan government and is digitally signed with a valid signature. I am not sure if the signature is obtained for a fake account or the account is hijacked, this is why I am not posting the email address. If you work for TW government, you can ask for it. There was also a PDF attached with a personally identifiable information (full application) of an applicant for International Cooperation and Development Fund (Taiwan) - Women Development program. It is not included in this post. I assume it was stolen earlier as well. 

CVE-2012-1535 Adobe Flash Player Integer Overflow Vulnerability Analysis by Brian Mariani & Frédéric Bourla

Brian Mariani and Frédéric Bourla from High-Tech Bridge SA – www.htbridge.com sent their excellent deep analysis of  CVE-2012-1535 vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. The Word documents with Flash that exploited that vulnerability appeared in August but did not become as popular as RTF CVE-2012-0158, which remains to be the most widely used exploit for targeted email attachments. 

The reason for it is that integer overflows are difficult to exploit in general and CVE-2012-1535 is less reliable than other exploits prevalent today. This does not mean it is not in use and I will post several recent samples with this exploit in the next article.
The full analysis is posted below, plus you can download it in PDF format.

Blackhole 2 exploit kit (partial pack) and ZeroAccess (user-mode memory resident version)

 This post is an addtion to the DeepEnd Research post Blackhole & Cridex: Season 2 Episode 1: Intuit Spam & SSL traffic analysis by Andre DiMino about the Blackhole 2 exploit pack and Cridex trojan alliance.

Here is for download a partial Blackhole 2 exploit pack. This pack has been shared with me a few times over the past couple of weeks as researchers discovered an blackhole server with open directories. While it is missing a few crucial files, it is still provides insight into the pack components, exploits, and structure.

The list of files in the pack are listed below. 16 files are zero in size (not on purpose, that's all I have) and are there just for your information. The zero size files are listed in the separate list below (in addition to being in the main list). The files and data directories contain the exploits ( cve-2012-1723, cve-2012-0507, cve-2010-1885, cve-2012-4681, cve-2010-0188) and the payload (ZeroAccess  among other malware, which is memory resident rootkit (thus no 'dropped', created files for ZeroAccess in the package, only the original dropper and all kinds of files genereated by the clickfraud component. Use Volatility or Redline/Memorize for analysis)
This captcha component of this pack was reviewed by
Behind the Captcha or Inside Blackhole Exploit Kit 2.0 - Exploit Kit Administration Panel (Malware Don't Need Coffee).

 Malware Must Die analysts have been tracking Blackhole 2 as well

CVE-2012-4969 Internet explorer 0day samples

The Internet Explorer 0day aka now CVE-2012-4969, have been used in a "small number of targeted attacks". The new Internet Explorer Zero day technical details came out (eromang.zataz.com), the Metasploit module is out now too and the number will increase exponentially as soon as exploit pack authors add it to their arsenal, which will happen very soon. This seems to be repeating the story of Java CVE-2012-4681. See CVE-2012-4681 samples Original (APT) and Blackhole 2.0 (crime)

There are a few mitigation workarounds you can use for now, the best is to upgrade your browser, however

CVE-2012-4681 samples Original (APT) and Blackhole 2.0 (crime)

Here are two samples of Java CVE-2012-4681 exploit - one from the original targeted attack described in our post on August 30, 2012 and the other from today's spam redirecting to Blackhole 2.0 exploit kit and using CVE-2012-4681 adapted from the Metasploit framework.
The Blackhole 2.0 ad is translated and posted at malware.dontneedcoffee.com along with a very good analysis.
The spam campaigns are probably different but the one I encountered was using the subject "ADP Invoice Reminder" with ADP_Online_Invoice_DoNotReply@adp.com address sent from what it looks like a spam botnet. The body of the email looks very convincing  - see the legitimate ADP email below in comparison to the fake one. The links are legitimate compromised websites redirecting to the Blackhole exploit server. The payload is Zeus (Gameover P2P version not Citadel). Many websites already cleaned and giving error 404 and some are still active. I posted approximately 50 headers below for those who deal with spam filters as well as pcap and other information.

Contagio file downloads are not available indefinitely (thanks to Mediafire and LeakID ideas about copyright)

Update5: 
Mediafire notified me the other day that they had confirmation from LeakID that the notices they submitted  were done in error. They restored all the file access.
I want to thank all who helped me with the posts and updates Paul Robert from SophosLabs, Soulskill- Slashdot, Dan Kaplan from SC Magazine for their articles, everyone who made posts on Twitter  and the Mediafire team for the über fast response to the posts and resolution. I guess LeakID do not speak to victims directly, never heard from them.
