Arrival Details

This Trojan may be dropped by the following malware:

  • TROJ_DIDKR.C

Installation

This Trojan drops the following file(s)/component(s):

  • %System%\ole{variable 1}.dll (64-bit) - also detected as TROJ64_DIDKR.C
  • %User Temp%\~DL{number}.tmp (64-bit) - copy of ole{variable 1}.dll (64-bit)

(Note: %System% is the Windows system folder, which is usually C:\Windows\System32.. %User Temp% is the current user's Temp folder, which is usually C:\Documents and Settings\{user name}\Local Settings\Temp on Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003, or C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Local\Temp on Windows Vista and 7.)

Other System Modifications

This Trojan adds the following registry entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\{service name of variable 1}Svc\Parameters
ServiceDll = “%System%\ole{variable 1}.dll”

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\{service name of variable 1}Svc\Parameters
ServiceMain = “RoutineMain”

It modifies the following registry entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost
netsvcs = “{default data}, {service name of variable 1}Svc”

(Note: The default value data of the said registry entry is “{default data}".)

NOTES:
processed by badette

It enumerates all service names that meet the following condition:

ImagePath = "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

It then acquires {variable 1} from the filename registered in ServiceDll.

For example:

ImagePath = "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
ServiceDll = "%System%\shsvcs.dll"
{variable 1} = shsvcs

As such, the file ole{variable 1}.DLL is dropped as oleshsvcs.DLL in this example.

The component %System%\ole{variable 1}.dll accesses any of the following sites to receive data:

  • http://webmail.{BLOCKED}shost.com/mail/images/ct.jpg
  • http://www.{BLOCKED}pic.net/pictures/e02947e8573918c1d887e04e2e0b1570.jpg

It saves the received data to %User Temp%\~MR{number}.TMP.

It checks the content of %User Temp%\~MR{number}.tmp if the string BM6W is present.

As of this writing, it checks the present date if equal to or greater than June 25 10:00 AM.

The date to be compared is present in the received data. It is the 4 bytes of data after BM6W.

The component %System%\ole{variable 1}.DLL drops and executes the following file if the conditions above are met:

  • %System%\wuauieop.exe - detected as DDOS_DIDKR.C
