Type of Malware: Infostealer

  • Installs a hook procedure to monitor for mouse events
  • Sniffs keystrokes
  • Queries for the computername

Evasiveness Indicators:

  • Attempts to repeatedly call a single API many times in order to delay analysis time
  • Checks whether any human activity is being performed by constantly checking whether the foreground window changed
  • Tries to suspend Cuckoo threads to prevent logging of malicious activity
  • Queries the disk size which could be used to detect virtual machine with small fixed size or dynamic allocation
  • Checks adapter addresses which can be used to detect virtual network interfaces

Other Compelling Indicators:

  • Attempts to create or modify system certificates
  • Drops a binary and executes it
  • Attempts to connect to dead IP:Port(s)
  • More than %50 of the external calls do not go through the import address table
