We also can see that the password stealer component is built out of nine separate components, each of which adds different functionality to the end product. Thanks, Al, for making it all worthwhile. This helpful malware author, whose name is apparently Albert, tipped us off to useful hints about what he did, with comments like mot de passe (password) and ecrivant un compte MSN Messenger (write out the MSN Messenger account) sprinkled throughout.įor too long, I thought my study of French in college would yield no useful purpose in my malware analysis day job. The original source appears to have been written by someone who is a native French speaker, because it is heavily commented in French, which is actually quite informative.

That means we, the malware analysts of the world, can see the full functionality of the program without needing to actually do anything more than open it in a text editor. Now for the Stupid Malware Tricks part: When slide-show writes out its source code, which is all embedded in slide-show as base64-encoded text, anyone can read it all. This breaks AV detection of the compiled payload that relies on a static MD5 hash. This happens every time the computer executes slide-show - upon the initial execution and at every reboot. Slide-show then compiles this dropped source code, using the Visual Basic Compiler,into a program with an eight-random-character filename that’s exactly 136192 bytes in size.

Here’s the interesting part: Every time slide-show executes, it writes the entire source code for another payload - a password stealer - onto the infected computer. The ‘read me’ dropper drops a program named ‘ my-slide-show-picture.exe‘ (MD5: 6cf871199432f0dd9a669427f58155db) into the currently-logged-in-user’s Application DataMicrosoft folder, writes a run key to start up slide-show at reboot (with the value window update), then quits. As of last night, there were no detections for the file on Virustotal, which means other antivirus companies hadn’t yet pulled it into their systems. The file, a dropper, is interesting for other reasons as well. With the file extension visible, however, it’s clearly an. On a typical Windows system, the file appears to be a text document, but only because it uses a file icon of a text document.

The Trojan, bundled in a torrent with the ISO image of the Civ 5 installation disc, is called ‘ read me before burn.exe‘ (MD5: 2f7ff2ecef4b5cf1c9679f79d9b72518).

I’ve chosen to focus on one of these files, not only because it was the first we saw, but also the most interesting. One of our Threat Research Analysts, who also happens to be an avid gamer, started looking for pirated copies of the game Friday morning and, within five minutes of looking, found Trojans in some of the torrents in circulation. And, as we’ve come to expect, some of the pirated copies of the game come with that little something special - malicious components. Bootlegged copies of Civilization 5, the highly anticipated, just-released real time strategy game, are already popping up in file sharing services.
