Gauss samples - Nation-state cyber-surveillance + Banking trojan

Just a quick post for those who can't sleep until get to play with Gauss

Here is a great paper by Kaspersky Gauss:Abnormal Distribution 

and the blogpost: "Gauss: Nation-state cyber-surveillance meets banking Trojan"

Excerpt:
The highest number of infections is recorded in Lebanon, with more than 1600 computers affected. The Gauss code  (winshell.ocx) contains direct commands to intercept data required to work with Lebanese banks – including the Bank of  Beirut, Byblos Bank and Fransabank. 

In Israel and the Palestinian Territory, 750 incidents have been recorded." (Kaspersky)

Oct 20 = Note: I added another file. 

According to Symantec:

"Duqu does not contain any code related to industrial control systems and is primarily a remote access Trojan (RAT). The threat does not self-replicate. Our telemetry shows the threat was highly targeted toward a limited number of organizations for their specific assets. However, it’s possible that other attacks are being conducted against other organizations in a similar manner with currently undetected variants.

The attackers used Duqu to install another infostealer that could record keystrokes and gain other system information. "
