Malware for Android platform?

| |

Has anybody come across malware for Android platform. If so please let me know the family name of it or MD5 hash. I read few articles about a infostealer for Android phone.But do not have any more info about it.

Thanks in advance!

Need suggestions for research paper...

|

Hi All,

Need help thinking of a topic to write a research paper on. My area of focus is mobile computing and security/malware. Looking for suggestion on research areas related to malware and mobile computing, any help would be really appreciated, having a bad case of researchers block. If your interested in co authoring a paper please let me know.

Siberia Exploit Pack. Another package of explois In-the-Wild

Siberia Exploit Pack is a new package designed to exploit vulnerabilities and recruit zombies original, as is easy to deduce from its name and as is customary in this area crimeware clandestine business in Russia.

Malware request for bots that use P2P for C&C

|

I am a student at Aalborg University in Denmark doing a research project in traffic pattern detection.

I am searching for bots that use P2P for command & control.

The only samples I managed to find are Peacomm.C, Nugache.A4, and Nugache C@mm.

If anyone can provide me with binaries of or pcap trace from other bots of this type, it would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance

RussKill. Application to perform denial of service attacks

|

Conceptually speaking, a DoS attack (Denial of Service attack) is basically bombarded with requests for a service or computer resource to saturate and the system can not process more data, so those resources and services are inaccessible, "denying" the access to anyone who wants them.

From the standpoint of computer security, Denial of Service attacks are a major problem because many botnets are designed to automate these attacks, especially those of particular purpose, taking advantage of computational power offered by the network of zombies. In this case, the attack is called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS).

Moreover, under the framework of the concept of cyberwarfare, this type of attack is part of the armament "war" through which virtual scenarios presented conflicts between their requirements as to neutralize a state vital services.

RussKill is a web application that is classified within these activities and that despite being extremely simple, both in functionality and in the way of use, is an attack that could be very effective and difficult to detect.

As is customary in the current crimeware, the web application is of Russian origin and has a number of fields with information about how and against whom to carry out the attack, letting you configure the packet sequence, ie the flow in amount. The option "Hide url" is a self-defensive measure designed to ensure that the server is detected.

Although several methods of DoS attacks, RussKill makes use of the attacks HTTP-flood and SYN-flood. In both cases the servers for flood victims through http requests and packets with fake source IP addresses respectively.

As I said at first, the denial of service attacks are a danger for any information system, regardless of the platform that supports services and applications such, in this case site, demonstrates the ease with which an attack of this type can run.

Win32 Rootkit Foundation

|

Hey all,
I'm looking for a Win32 root-kit source package. I'd like to work with a "Root-kit Foundation" that I can further build for my own project. My end result is to create a root-kit to prevent other programs from seeing my interaction with the kernel, thus creating anonymous automated control of other programs. I already have the topside scripting and command code mostly done, Just need to interact with a Win32 kernel.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

DDoS Botnet. New crimeware particular purpose

| |

An attack by Denial of Service (DoS) consists basically of abuse of a service or resource by successive requests, either intentional or negligent, which eventually break the availability of such service or resource temporarily or completely.

When this type of attack is performed using the processing power of an important set of computers carrying out the abuse of requests synchronously, we are witnessing an attack Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS).

Wandering Through Trojan.NtRootKit.47 Driver
Author: ocean

Introduction

I didn’t have the dropper at the moment of writing this, only the driver. Without the dropper we can only get a generic idea of what the driver is used for. The driver has been reverse engineered by deadlist, a really irritating thing to do actually, but it can be useful to see the generic structure of a typical driver.

It’s a driver with dll functionality. Erssd shows us that the driver is produced by ErrorSafe, a fake-av (scareware) company. Seems like there are no rootkit functionality in this driver, while only a few zw* functions are exposed to the dropper, through the use of IOCTLS, though we can’t know how this is used without access to the dropper.

Driver entry point:
driver entry point graph
Simple start structure, a Device is created with name “erssdd” and linked with a Dosdevice with the same name, next every PDRIVER_DISPATCH MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_MAXIMUM_FUNCTION+1] will be written to point to a general IRP_dispatch procedure. Also a driver unload routine is set.

.text:000113EA push 1Ch ; IRP_MJ_MAXIMUM_FUNCTION+1
.text:000113EC lea edi, [ebx+38h]
.text:000113EF pop ecx
.text:000113F0 mov eax, offset irp_dispatch
.text:000113F5 rep stosd

.text:000113F7 mov dword ptr [ebx+34h], offset unload

unload procedure is pretty simple too

.text:0001133A unload:
.text:0001133A cmp Handle, 0
.text:00011341 jz short loc_1134A
.text:00011343 push 0
.text:00011345 call close_handle
.text:0001134A
.text:0001134A loc_1134A:
.text:0001134A push offset DestinationString
.text:0001134F call ds:IoDeleteSymbolicLink
.text:00011355 push DeviceObject
.text:0001135B call ds:IoDeleteDevice
.text:00011361 retn 4

it will just check if there’s and object handle open and close it (inside function close_handle there’s a call to
ZwClose).

now the irp dispatcher procedure :)

T-IFRAMER. Kit for the injection of malware In-the-Wild

| |

T-IFRAMER is a package that allows you to automate, centralize and manage via http the spread of malicious code via code injection sites violated viral techniques using iframe, and feed a botnet. We then see a screen capture of authentication.

While there is a complex kit allows computer criminals manage the spread of malware via the http protocol type attacks using Drive-by-Download and Drive-by-Injection by inserting iframe tags in web pages violated.

The four key modules: Stats, Manager, Iframes and Injector, and each has the main function to optimize the spread of malware.

The first one (Stats) to manage FTP accounts violated having control over them with the ability to upload files. Thus begins one of the cycles of propagation of malicious code.
