Backdoor provides cybercriminals with remote access to an infected computer. It is Windows (PE-EXE) file. It is 193124 bytes in size. It is written in С++.

MD5: 7D346E1BF063B57C547CB031CC5ACB7F

SHA1: 73A1158CC70BA100999E3CB32A8AC2629E72F190

Installation

Once launched, the backdoor copies its body to a file:

%Temp%\csrss.exe

To launch the created copy automatically each time the system starts up it adds a reference to itself to the system registry:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"Load"="%Temp%\csrss.exe "

Payload

To control the uniqueness of its process the backdoor creates a unique identifier with the following names:

{5D92BB9F-9A66-458f-ACA4-66172A7016D4}
{4D92BB9F-9A66-458f-ACA4-66172A7016D4}
{6B985724-623F-492e-B0D6-C9715ADE853B}
{61B98B86-5F44-42b3-BCA1-33904B067B81}
{B37C48AF-B05C-4520-8B38-2FE181D5DC78}
{B16C7E24-B3B8-4962-BF5E-4B33FD2DFE78}
{CH5B35993-9674-43cd-8AC7-5BC5013E617B}
{HC0429A47-0CF0-4d1b-9616-C588FA0A3DDB}
{95F6585C-CC1E-4b52-A63B-9FBC6A94F371}
{B5B35993-9674-43cd-8AC7-5BC5013E617B}
{A5B35993-9674-43cd-8AC7-5BC5013E617B}
{C0429A47-0CF0-4d1b-9616-C588FA0A3DDB}
{CH5BCA615-C82A-4152-8857-BCC626AE4C8D}
{HC3B671F0-5D50-4dbe-AD9C-64A6167C57AD}
{45BCA615-C82A-4152-8857-BCC626AE4C8D}
{35BCA615-C82A-4152-8857-BCC626AE4C8D}
{43B671F0-5D50-4dbe-AD9C-64A6167C57AD}
{C66E79CE-8935-4ed9-A6B1-4983619CB925}

Then malware creates a file with the name:

%Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\<xxx>.<zzz> – it is 600 bytes in size.

where

xxx – a random alphanumeric sequence,

zzz – a random combination of digits.

This file stores the basic backdoor settings. Next the trojan creates a link which downloads the file. The link is formed as follows:

http://<server_domain_name>/<path _to_file>/<parameters>

where

  • server_domain_name:
booko*****catalog.com
freet*****iconline.com
sepa*****ilkandtee.com
high*****dbsearch.com
cata*****urcecodes.com
mobil*****sonlines.com
onlin*****uostore4you.com
nomo*****scat.com
lapo*****pia.com
fre*****sdb.com
sslpr*****mingshool.com
ddos*****eonline.com
samb*****ubonline.com
hl*****oz.com
  • path_to_file:
blog/images/3521.jpg
blog/images/3522.jpg
blog/images/3523.jpg
  • parameters:
v<decimal_number>=< decimal_number >&tq=<encrypted_data>

The downloaded files are stored under the names:

%Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\Microsoft\conhost.exe – it is174592 bytes in size and detected by Kaspersky Antivirus as Backdoor.Win32.Gbot.grx
%Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\dwm.exe – it is 185856 bytes in size and detected by Kaspersky Antivirus as Backdoor.Win32.Gbot.grx

After that the trojan runs the downloaded files with the following parameters:

Start %Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\Microsoft\conhost.exe %%Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\Microsoft,<path_to_original_backdoor_file>

Start %Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\dwm.exe%%Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data, %Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\Microsoft

To ensure that the copy created is launched automatically each time the system is rebooted, the following registry keys are created:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] 
"conhost" = "%Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\Microsoft\conhost.exe"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] 
"Shell" = "explorer.exe, %Documents and Settings%\%Current User%\Application Data\dwm.exe"

Sends an HTTP request "POST" with encrypted information about the infected system to an attacker’s server:

zo***g.com/index.html?tq=<encrypted_information>

Also it attempts to download malicious files by the following links:

The downloaded files are stored in the temporary files folder of the current user:

%Temp%\<rnd>.tmp

where <rnd> - is a whole decimal number. The trojan opens a random TCP port to get a remote access to infected system, for example, "57414", "57455" or "62202." HTTP proxy server is created at the same port:

127.0.0.1:<port_number>

To change the settings in Internet Explorer the trojan modifies the following registry keys:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="http=127.0.0.1:<port_number>"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections]
"DefaultConnectionSettings"=<address_of _proxy _ in_hex>
"SavedLegacySettings"=<address_of_proxy_in_hex>

It attempts to disrupt antivirus applications:

AVG
Avira
Dr.Web
Norton
Symantec
Avast
McAfee
ESET NOD32
Kaspersky
BitDefender
Windows Defender
