Darktrack

Posted on October 8, 2017 - October 14, 2017 by rhyolite

I was recently looking through a certain community of 1337 hax0rs and found someone trying to promote some malware that they allegedly cracked [Note: as I researched this, I later learned that the actual developer never charged for this RAT, so just the fact that the person who linked to this sample claimed to have cracked it shows that something’s up]. One of these is called Darktrack RAT, and the other is Reaper ransomware.

Initial Look

This is apparently a Darktrack 5.0 builder “with all plugs”. We’ll see about that, I guess. As I researched this, it looks like Darktrack 5 (also called Darktrack Colorful) hasn’t been released yet.

Running the builder gives you a pop up / license agreement window, and also drops two files into the %TEMP% folder:

2lWVy5LvsEb3quWh6S.exe
MBvI0Nh1JQcmVthRdCAy6TfJ2FA.exe

MBvI0Nh1JQcmVthRdCAy6TfJ2FA.exe is the panel executable that is presenting me with the EULA. Reading through the EULA doesn’t provide much interesting info. Someone (or some group) called Luckyduck appears to be responsible for Darktrack. One thing that’s interesting to me is that the English in the EULA starts out good, then gets noticeably worse as it goes along. Perhaps the beginning was just copied and pasted from somewhere else. The following snippet suggests that the product’s name is actually Darktrack Alien and the purported developer is this Luckyduck:

3. PRIVATE VERSIONS AND SOURCE CODE

3.1 THERE IS NO PRIVATE OR CUSTOM VERSION OF DARKTRACK ALIEN, IF YOU BOUGHT ANY KIND OF
DARKTRACK ALIEN VERSION THEN YOU BEEN SCAMMED.

3.2 THE SOURCE CODE ARE FULLY CLOSE, ONLY THE CODER OF DARKTRACK ALIEN (LUCKYDUCK)
GOT
THEM, DONT TRY TO FIND THEM NEITHER YOU WILL NEVER FIND THEM SO DONT LOOSE YOUR TIME.

The panel is pretty nice looking, actually:

There’s a help section, which tries to connect to the “Darktrack Tube” found at https://www.youtube[.]com/embed/0hByqnu6-Z4. This’ll be good to dig through later. There’s also a nice “About Me” section:

There are a bunch of names to look into someday, plus also what appears to be the website for Darktrack at www.darktrack[.]net. I also see that this appears to be Darktrack Alien 4.1, not the 5.0 version as promised by the original poster. Bug reporting is handled at https://forum.darktrack[.]net/.

Besides this stuff, the rest is sort of typical RAT panel features — client management panel, client builder/client settings, IP address map / victim geography, etc. The only problem is that one of the most important parts doesn’t appear to work — the client builder. If you can’t build your own clients, you can’t really do anything useful with this thing. It looks like this package came with a pre-built client from whoever cracked this (called “stub.exe”) but this won’t help anyone trying to create their own clients. Going back to the forum where I found this malware, the majority of ratings the post got indicated that the malware wasn’t functioning. I’m guessing that the only people who rated it as working were the original poster and his pals (or multis). I’m going to try to work with the stub.exe file anyway and see if I can get some more info about Darktrack from it.

Static and Dynamic Analysis

Taking a look at the stub.exe program, it’s a fairly big file (around 650k). It looks like it’s Delphi (ewww). Some people I know definitely are not fans of looking at entropy, but I like looking at it and it helps me, so bear with me if you disagree. Here’s an entropy plot of the stub.exe program before execution:

Looking at this, it seems fairly normal until you get to around 425k into the file, and then it looks like we have something there. Running the program, and then dumping the process with Volatility gives us something different, with the following entropy plot:

Whatever there was at the 425k area, it’s in use now. Looking in memory of the running stub.exe program, there’s some interesting stuff already:

xaf5c78 (40): C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Klog.dat 0xaf5cf8 (40): C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Klog.dat 0xafcfa8 (47): [String Search]-(9/27/2017 / 8:13:43 PM) 4 0xafcfe8 (46): [String earch]-(9/27/2017 / 8:13:43 PM) 0xafd028 (46): [String Search]-(9/27/2017 / 8:13:43 PM) 0xb042d8 (91): Num 4AltAltAltAltfNum 2Num 2Num 2Num 4ShiftShiftShiftShiftShiftShiftShiftShiftShiftShift4

Further on, we see what could be the config info of the client:

080IAM010010DAR8K89TR3SDTACK 4.1 Alien+ Local User 123456 127.0.0.1 notepad.exe SYSTEMROOT WINDIR APPDATA

The item at the top is the mutex used by this malware, I presume (to be confirmed) to ensure that only a single instance is running at a time on the victim’s machine. You can also see the default password and host (123456 and 127.0.0.1) listed there as well. We’ll have to see what the rest is for. Perhaps notepad.exe is injected or something.

Looking through the rest of the stuff revealed in memory suggests the following capabilities for Darktrack, though this needs to be confirmed by deeper digging:

Keylogging (keylogger file will be stored in the victim’s %TEMP% folder in a plaintext file called KLog.dat)
Possible Anti-Sandbox / Anti-VM capabilities (against Virtual Box and Sandboxie)
Anti-Debugging (reference to KERNEL32.IsDebuggerPresent and even a reference to SoftIce?)
Credential stealing:
Outlook/Exchange
Firefox
Skype
YandexBrowser
Comodo Dragon
Chrome
Possibly some Anti-AV capability
Possible harassment feature (open and close optical drive)
Supports Windows versions from Windows 2000 through Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview

There was another interesting string found in memory:

C:\Users\gurkanarkas\Desktop\Dtback\AlienEdition\Server\SuperObject.pas

This might provide another username to follow up on.

Disassembly

Let’s start looking at this thing in the disassembler. Opening this in Ida 5.0 (as I am still waiting for all that money from the Nigerian Oil Minister to hit my account, I cannot yet afford a paid copy of Ida) reveals some further detail behind some of the information we found by looking at it statically and dynamically. My earlier pieces on this site included many, many screenshots from Ida (and often from Olly) but I’m not going to kill you with 47 pictures of disassembly. However, I’ll try to mention a few things I found while poking around in the guts of the unpacked stub.exe.

Subroutine 425654 appears to be where libraries and functions are loaded. Take a look at the following:

KERNEL32.LoadLibrary and KERNEL32.GetProcAddress are basically ubiquitous. LoadLibrary takes a single parameter (the name of the library) and GetProcAddress takes two parameters, the handle to the module (library) and the name of the process to load. The sequence of events looks like this to me (at this time):

Push a proc name, then a library name. The stack should look like this, from last to first: library name, proc name
Call LoadLibrary (the return should be the handle to the library, which should go into EAX). At this point, the stack should just have the proc name on it.
PUSH EAX to put the handle to the library on the stack, so now we should have: Handle to library, proc name
Call GetProcAddress which should then return the address of the export
Then we see that the address of that proc is being moved into a structure, e.g.: MOV [ESI+20H], EAX, that is, the returned handle of the proc is being moved into the memory address of wherever ESI+20H is in that instance of the program
Iterates for many libraries and procs

I’m going to call sub 407CCC “MaybeLoadLibrary” and sub 407CE4 “MaybeGetProcAddress” [note that 407CCC was later revealed to be a call to KERNEL32.GetModuleHandle]. I’m also going to create a structure in Ida and then start labelling all of these references to proc addresses so it’s easier to read than [ESI+0CH].

449E60 looks like the sub that actually does the stored login harvesting from the various browsers supported by this RAT. Sub 460740 is a giant control subroutine containing a very large and ugly switch statement with 154 cases:

Within this switch statement, there are several cases that will pass the locations of stored credentials for the supported browsers and then call sub 449E60 to acquire them. The cases are:

0x54h Yandex Browser
0x55h Comodo Dragon
0x88h Google Chrome

The following parts of the switch statement refer to targeting other platforms, though with different underlying mechanisms than the areas above:

0x60h Skype
0x89h Firefox

An additional interesting case in this switch statement is 0x72h, System inventory (gathers some info about processor architecture). Stub.exe determines whether or not the processor is 32- or 64-bit using code beginning at location 4605C3. The subroutine called in that area, 45E340, makes a call to KERNEL32.IsWow64Process and determines the architecture based on the returned value.

I also found an evasion subroutine at 425F34. This sub starts by going to the `Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion` Registry key. It checks the Product ID for the string `76487-337-8429955-22614` which would detect Anubis Sandbox. Other evasion subroutines I found are as follows, with their associated product:

Sub 425E7C checks Product ID for string `76487-644-3177037-23510` for CWSandbox
Sub 425DC4 checks Product ID for string `55274-640-2673064-23950` for Joe’s Sandbox
Sub 425DA0 calls KERNEL32.GetModuleHandle to check for `dbghelp.dll` for Threat Expert
Sub 425D7C calls KERNEL32.GetModuleHandle to check for `SbieDll.dll` for SandBoxie
Sub 425B78 VMXh magic value trick to detect VMWare
Sub 425C20 checks for `VBoxService.exe` as a running process to detect VirtualBox
Sub 4260C4 checks for debuggers via a call to KERNEL32.IsDebuggerPresent
Sub 42611C checks for debuggers by determining if the debug flag is set to 1 in the PEB at offset 0x2h
Sub 4261E8 checks for software breakpoints (0xCC, Int 3)
Sub 426174 not 100% sure — checks for `DAEMON` and also does the PEB antidebugger check again
Sub 42624C checks for Syser Debugger via a call to KERNEL32.CreateFileA to check for the files `Syser`, `SyserDbgMsg` and `SyserBoot`
Sub 4262AC checks for SoftICE Debugger via a call to KERNEL32.CreateFileA to check for the file `SICE`
Sub 4262E8 checks for SoftICE Debugger via a call to KERNEL32.CreateFileA to check for the file `NTICE`
Sub 426158 is the master anti-debugging sub for two user mode methods above, which calls 4260C4 and 42611C
Sub 4265AC is the master evasion sub, as it contains calls to the evasion subs listed above

One strange thing about this sample is that despite all of these evasion methods above, some of the functionality of the malware still appears to execute even though I’m not running it in a hardened VM. I’d expect none of the functionality to work given that this malware is detecting my VM.

Subroutine 45F938 looks like the overall system inventory sub. I was able to identify the following subroutines within it, and their apparent functions:

Sub 45F4A4 Identify the Windows Version
Sub 45F0F4 Identify user type (administrator / regular user)
Sub 405344 Appears to be called to store system inventory information once gathered
Sub 45F8C0 Has calls to USER32.GetForegroundWindow and USER32.GetWindowText the result of which is stored
Sub 45D74C is used to identify the presence of services on the victim machine by the port that is in use. The specific services that the malware looks for are: FTP (ports 20/21), SSH (22), Telnet (23), SMTP (25), Whois (43), DNS (53), DHCP (68), HTTP (80/8080), POP3 (110), NetBIOS (137/138/139), IMAP (143/220), SNMP (161), IRC (194 [usually this is 6667? Looks like they are just using the “standard” ports]), SSL (443), SMB (445), Lotus Notes (1352), MS SQL Server (1433), Oracle (1521), NFS (2049), MySQL (3306), ICQ (4000), and VNC (5800/5900). Any other open ports are listed as “Unknow [sic] Service Port.”
Sub 45DED4 uses subroutine 45D74C above to identify open and closed ports and services

Sub 4423BC contains many function calls related to setting up for and taking what is probably a screenshot of the victim’s desktop. Sub 442020 looks like it could be the network communications startup subroutine. Besides seeing that there appears to be a user-agent construction section within this subroutine, there are also a bunch of unlabeled calls in there. Two of these look very much like they could be a call to WS2_32.WSAStartup and WS2_32.Socket based on the parameters being passed. I can’t discern any of the other function calls one would normally look for (things like listen, send, recv, getaddrinfo, etc.) based on the rest of the disassembly but I’m going to label 442020 as possibly the network communications startup subroutine. Sub 43BD50 appears to be a performance monitoring subroutine, based on information from a very old article located at (http://bcbjournal.org/articles/vol3/9906/Writing_a_Performance_Monitor.htm?PHPSESSID=058081f577534833ddc780e5995cdbae).

Going back to the C2 switch statement referred to earlier, located at 460740, there is what I refer to as a harassment section (sometimes referred to as “fun stuff” by the malware developers). This subroutine falls under case 0x61 in the main C2 subroutine and is also a switch statement with 15 cases. The cases and associated functionality are as follows:

0x1 Unknown
0x2 Disable shortcuts and the desktop
0x3 Enable shortcuts and the desktop
0x4 Hide Program Manager
0x5 Show Program Manager
0x6 Turn the monitor off
0x7 Turn the monitor on
0x8 Unknown
0x9 Force Shutdown/Poweroff
0xA Force Logoff
0xB Force Reboot
0xC Hide Taskbar
0xD Show Taskbar
0xE Open Optical Drive
0xF Close Optical Drive

45C218 is a network sniffing subroutine. The full functionality is not 100% clear, however the code will call WS2_32.WSAStartup, WS2_32.Socket and WS2_32.Bind before likely making a call to WS2_32.WSAIoctl and one other function. This appears to be designed to sniff all packets that the victim machine is exposed to.

At location 468894, one can actually see the PE header for an executable file packed with UPX. Sub 4484C0 references this location, and while it’s a bit difficult to see what’s going on due to indirect calls, it looks like this sub sets aside 175,616 bytes in memory and then unpacks the file into that. One of the parent subroutines of this one appears to actually be the code found at this Github page: https://github.com/jasonpenny/democode/blob/master/dGinaTest/BTMemoryModule.pas. It seems that the malware uses this to load and parse a PE header from a file (probably the UPX-packed file we are discussing) and then appears to use the code to then load a bunch of SQL Lite functions. I’m guessing that this file that is packed is probably SQL Lite and it is probably being used to store data about the victim’s machine, but I’m going to dump this file and take a look at it to be sure. Sub 4484E8 is the overall subroutine that is responsible for this, and I’m going to tentatively going to call this the “Unpack SQL Lite and Setup” sub.

45A360 appears to be the subroutine handling opening a chat window with the victim. Sub 45A4EC is strange. I believe this is some sort of encryption subroutine. It has a few dozen cross-references in the disassembly, and uses a strange 51-character string which is “Yhuol08uJhGfCVzzXdFG.==+t&t&y7877wSWqwDw12123ghhGTG”. I’m going to label sub 45A4EC as “MaybeEncryption” and keep moving on, and maybe I’ll see something that will shed more light on this if I run this in the debugger.

After pulling the UPX file out of the stub with Hiew, I unpacked it and it appears to just be a regular sqlite3.dll. The file did get a few detections on VirusTotal, but the detections aren’t really ones I would trust. Based my own examination of the actual contents this appears to just be a SQL Lite .dll. I noticed that the Darktrack builder appears to store victim information in a SQL Lite file, so maybe the developer just uses SQL Lite for storing the various information about victims both on the panel machine and on each victim machine.

Debugging

Running the stub.exe program through the debugger really helped to clarify some things that were not clear in the disassembly either because my older version of Ida didn’t work 100% correctly or because there were some indirect calls in the code that were hard for me to discern via the disassembly alone. What I’m calling the master evasion sub, 4265AC, actually has some other things going on in it that I didn’t see before. The first thing is that I see near the beginning of this sub that the program tries to load a resource called “settings” which I presume is the RAT config info. Stub.exe isn’t able to load this from the .rsrc section. The error returned is “ERROR_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND”. I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I’m going to keep going and see what other stuff I can find out via the debugger.

A small detail that I assumed was the case was confirmed while I was running stub.exe in the debugger. The RAT client does use the mutex to ensure that only a single instance of the malware is running on a victim’s machine at a time. Sub 42651C controls this. It will make a call to another subroutine to create the mutex and then it will make a call to KERNEL32.GetLastError. It will compare the error returned with the constant 0xB7 (which would indicate “ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS”). If it does already exist, then the malware will terminate, while success or any other error returned will allow the malware to continue to execute. See below from my debugger:

Sub 426CF0 is another subroutine that has been greatly filled in via the debugger. This subroutine handles several calls to various WS2_32 functions that handle connection to the RAT host. Moving back over to the evasion subroutine beginning at 4265AC, I set a new entry point to put us back in the various anti-analysis tests. Sub 425FEC appears to get the current user name and compare it with the string “CurrentUser”. I’m not sure what this is supposed to accomplish. In doing some reading on the subject, this appears to be another way to detect certain sandbox environments. Another thing that became clear in the debugger is that the main evasion sub contains two calls to KERNEL32.GetTickCount to add this timing check to the other anti-analysis techniques. The two KERNEL32.GetTickCount calls are located at 426710 and 426858, and in this case the malware will terminate if there has been more than five seconds between the two calls.

Sub 425040 is very interesting now that I’ve been able to look at it in the debugger. I had previously named this as some sort of function loading subroutine, but running it in the debugger I see that there are some more interesting things going on. The Darktrack stub will invoke a new notepad.exe process and then allocates memory and starts to write to those newly allocated areas with what appear to be procedures to load from KERNEL32. It then tries to start a remote thread in that notepad.exe process, which in my test environment crashes notepad. After this, stub.exe goes a bit bonkers and enters a very processor intensive infinite loop (perhaps this is some sort of evasion technique itself). I’m going to step back a bit and see if I can get into other functions.

One subroutine that I am very interested in is sub 45A4EC. This one contains a really nasty looking string as mentioned earlier (“Yhuol08uJhGfCVzzXdFG.==+t&t&y7877wSWqwDw12123ghhGTG”). Earlier I’d guessed that this is some sort of encryption subroutine, so I set a breakpoint on this subroutine to see what happens here. When the breakpoint hit, I saw something very interesting which looks a lot like RAT C2 communication being used here:

We can see a lots of things passed here, such as the logged in user, the Windows version, the Darktrack version, the active window, the user type (administrator or regular user), and the password for this Darktrack stub (in this case, the default “123456”). After observing this subroutine for a bit, I noticed that there is a loop starting at location 4552AF and looping back from 455329 that uses that big ugly string to do a some sort of multibyte XOR of the system inventory information that we saw being passed to this overall subroutine before:

I tried to arrange the screen to best view the encryption/decryption loop and the area of memory where it can be seen that the string is in fact being encyphered via XOR. While it appears to be some sort of multibyte XOR, it’s not actually as simple as just taking the key and the plaintext and doing a multibyte XOR. There is some mechanism that I can’t discern that is adding some extra complexity to how this encyphering is being handled. Maybe someone with more experience with this could look at this someday. In the meantime, I suppose it would be possible to take the code from the malware, put it into some format of your choice, and use that to decypher traffic. I actually tried this just to be sure — I took the final encyphered text, put it where the plaintext should go, and watched as I ran the malware again and it decyphered what it had previously encyphered with this subroutine.

I tried manipulating various things in sub 426CF0 which appears to be the subroutine to connect to the RAT host. Looking in here confirms that the port used by this stub is 9633 by observing the call to WS2_32.htons. After stepping through this subroutine and trying to keep things going in the right direction by modifying memory or the code, I was able to get the stub to connect to my panel:

Right clicking on the connected Darktrack client reveals some options. Control center is probably the most interesting, but it can still be seen that from this quick menu there are options to obtain information about the victim’s machine, execute commands or open web pages on the victim’s machine, uninstall the RAT client or options to help organize the victim in the overall list of infected machines.

The control center is pretty slick and has several screens worth of options:

The interface is actually very nice, I’m impressed by how this was put together, compared with some other malware samples I’ve worked with. Looking through all of these options, this confirms a lot of functionality that was either suspected based on the static/dynamic analysis or was seen in the disassembly and debugging:

File manager functionality
Registry editing
Process manager
Windows Services manager
Installed application enumeration
Active connections enumeration
Startup manager
Clipboard manager
Surveillance functionality (online and offline keylogger, remote desktop connection, remote camera and microphone capture, remote shell, saved passwords harvesting, ability to download/upload and execute files on the victim’s machine)
Hosts file editing
Script execution
Dialog box generator
Networking management features (share enumerator, LAN scanning, port scanning, TCP sniffing)
Information gathering (system privileges and monitoring)
Miscellaneous features I classify as harassment features (ability to send a key input to the victim’s machine, print a file, text to speech, user chat, restart/lock/logoff/shutdown the machine)
Skype management (obtain users, contacts, file transfers, and conversation info)
RAT client management features (restart, close, uninstall, share client)

As I said before, some of these are very nice. For instance, the process manager functionality is very well presented and allows the RAT controller a lot of control over the running processes on the victim’s machine (such as suspending the process, killing it, altering the priority, etc.). The remote shell functionality is very easy to use, also.

This pretty much wraps up everything I’m interested in looking at in this particular malware sample.

Conclusion

Darktrack RAT has a nice user interface and contains a lot of functionality that would be of interest to a malicious actor. Nothing is too notable (when compared with other RATs) however the interface for the RAT controller is well-designed and easy to use. Some flaws emerged from examining this sample. For instance, the evasion subroutines do not fully work, even in an obvious analysis environment. The evasion routines also appear to be old/outdated due to some of the platforms targeted. Obfuscation of traffic via the XOR-based scheme is weak, especially when the key is so easy to obtain from the stub file and in the worst case one can just use the malware’s own subroutine to encypher or decypher traffic. The lack of a working client builder is a major issue, but this might have been an issue introduced by whoever cracked this particular copy of Darktrack. Overall, this was an interesting malware sample to analyse and reverse (even if it is Delphi).

Philadelphia

Posted on May 30, 2017 - May 30, 2017 by rhyolite

I got a copy of a builder for Philadelphia ransomware from an underground forum. When I ran it, this builder appeared to be clean. The builder came as an AutoIT-wrapped file with a lot of support files and also a copy of UPX.

Running the builder resulted in a fancy splash screen and then I was prompted to create an account and password with “Philadelphia Headquarter”. Once this was done, I was able to finish installation. I should note that this particular copy of the builder was said to be cracked, and I noticed no network traffic related to this user creation process, so I suppose this is because of the crack or perhaps this is a local account set up on the Philadelphia builder.

The main panel is very snazzy:

Here’s an example (from the malware’s help file) of a panel showing how victim machines would appear:

You can see that there’s all kinds of stuff going on here. This ransomware calls the client files “Agents” and you can see that button at the top of the left menu bar for building a new Agent. Next is the “New Bridge” option which builds the file that the deployed ransomware will interact with (likely on a compromised third party website, if past experience with this sort of thing remains consistent). There are buttons in this menu to manage the bridges, update data on victims, change builder settings and then interestingly buttons for support and help. One interesting option under “Settings” was the ability to turn debug mode on, which I did. The support button actually gives us the following popup:

This seems to indicate that this is version 1.13.1 of Philadelphia, and who cracked it. I blurred the contact info and name because in this case I thought it might be prudent not to put this out there. Clicking help brings up a very professional looking help file, actually:

In case it’s difficult to read in the image:

Congratulations for buying the latest word in ransomware!

We wish you great incomes.

Philadelphia is a revolutionary product that brings the ease of use for the ransomware world. No more complicated server settings, no more monthly fees, no more source code compilation. Philadelphia takes all the hard work and presents to you a panel where you can take the control onto your hands.

We really recommend you to read every topic of this help file before your first adventure with Philadelphia. As a revolutionary product, Philadelphia includes many new features and terms that aren’t seen in other products, which makes some early instructions needed.

We hope you have fun reading this material and using our product 🙂

Another section sheds light on the true developers:

We are the folks at The_Rainmaker Labs. Perhaps you got to know us through our previous product, Stampado, a simple and easy to use ransomware that got in the news (Softpedia, Forbes, WSJ and a lot more) for bringing advanced features for just $39. Yes, we like to play with security, as you might have guessed.

With Stampado, we could be able to understand what ransomware buyers seek on new products. After 1 and half month of “experiment”, we bring Philadelphia, to supply to all needs.

You can contact us easily if something goes wrong (or too good, we love to hear stories from our clients when they make big bucks with our products) by clicking “Support” on the Philadelphia window.

Warning: at the time of Stampado, several scammers appeared pretending to be us and selling fake copies of our products, fooling several people. Be careful. We don’t have 3rd-party sellers, Twitter nor email account. The only way to contact us is through Jabber (the two accounts on the “Support”).

There’s actually a section called “For AV researchers”:

We are not here to tell you guys what to do, but what NOT to do.

First of all, do not waste your time trying to decrypt the files. As the ransomware sends the crypt key to a bridge and the bridge will only give it once a payment is sent, it’s impossible. Also, there is no way to do some spoof and pretend a payment, as the verification happens on the server where the bridge is hosted, and not on the client machine.

Secondly, never delete the Philadelphia files on a infected machine (or make it impossible to run). There are many sensitive data that, if lost, the user files are really gone forever. Also, the Philadelphia agent executable file is the only hope for the victim to recover their files, as it’s the only software capable of accessing and interpreting the bridge responses. If the user cannot open it, then there will be no way for recovering the files.

There’s also an interesting section advising people not to upload their clients to VirusTotal:

With our previous product, Stampado, our initial objective was to always keep it FUD.

However, with the bigger sales, it wasn’t possible due to many users (not victims) sending it to online scanners such as Google’s VirusTotal.

VirusTotal on the past had an option not to distribute. Its targets were companies that wanted to scan securely private files and did not want it distributed. However, as you can imagine, most of the users of this option were malware developers. Therefore, in 2008, this option was removed (see http://blog.hispasec.com/virustotal/28/).

Nowadays, VirusTotal works this way: once a file is uploaded to scan, if at least one of the antivirus solutions on the site detect something harmful on the file (even a generic detection (Gen/HEUR) or even a false positive), all the other AV solutions that didn’t detect it receive a sample of the file with the entire report (PE data, antivirus detections etc.), so they can start detecting items as well. This information was taken entirely from their FAQ (https://virustotal.com/pt/faq/, section “Including new antivirus solutions and tools in VirusTotal”, third paragraph). This way, by sending a malware to VirusTotal with small detection rates, you ensure that it will be highly detectable in a few days (or even hours) and will need to spend money on crypters. Definitively, you do not deserve congratulations for that.

What should I use?

During our development, we used VirusCheckMate.com and Scan4You.net and never had any problems with these ones. However if you can’t pay (10 cents a scan), there are free alternatives, such as NoDistribute.com. Be aware that we aren’t sure if NoDistribute really does not distribute.

This information is not valid only for Philadelphia, but to ALL hacking tools, exploits and malwares you’ll ever find.

I upload stuff to VirusTotal to try to get it out there as much as possible… but I’d say one shouldn’t upload anything sensitive there, just for the reason that you’re sharing something with a third party. The “Changelog” section of the help file indicates that the ransomware seems to have appeared on the scene back in September 2016. What’s also interesting is that this changelog goes all the way up to version 1.21.4 (December 2016) while the version we have claims to be version 1.13.1. If this really were 1.13.1, then the change log obviously wouldn’t contain the notes about later versions. This change log gives us some idea of the pace of development of Philadelphia:

December 12th, 2016 – v1.21.4
September 21th, 2016 – v1.13.1
September 18th, 2016 – v1.9
September 14th, 2016 – v1.6.1
Semptember 12th, 2016 – v1.3.1
September 7th, 2016 – v1.0
September 1st, 2016 – v0.0.0

The “Bridges & agents” section gives a good overview of the interaction between the Agents and the Bridges:

An agent is the malware itself, the executable file you’ll need to spread to your victims. Its work is better explained on the “Agent” subtopic but it will basically generate a crypt key, use it to encrypt the user files (depending on the folders and extensions you choose when generating the agent), send this key to the bridge and ask for the ransom.

A bridge is nothing more than a PHP script that can be hosted in likely any server without the need of a database. The bridge usesflat files a (it’s a PHP script that uses just files as data storage, so editing it is not recommended – nor needed – and some SQL engine is NOT needed). Its work is better explained on its subtopic, but it will basically store the victim’s crypt keys, give important info (i.e.: an unique ID per victim, the demanded ransom and also choose a bitcoin wallet for the victim) and provide the victims data for the headquarter.

The FAQ has an interesting snippet referring to a researcher that they appear to be big fans of:

There is a Decrypter on the news

It’s usual. One week before launching Philadelphia, we created and spread a modified version that cointained a proposital security flaw that allowed the researcher to easily see the password. We used this executable and infected several machines. Our main target – Fabian Wosar from EmsiSoft – has took the bait and published the first decrypter. However he didn’t see the security flaw (turns out that he’s not as good as he tells to be) and published just a bruteforce-based decrypter that needed the victim to tell two versions (one original and one encrypted) of the same file.

We don’t need to say, but bruteforce is not the best option, mainly when a deadline is threatening your files and you know that bruteforce can take millenniums. Anyway, Fabian decrypter did not work in any way, nor in bruteforce, and we don’t know why, but who cares?

Keep in mind that, as the encryption key is kept out of the victim machine, brute force is really the only option. While, in a side, there is nothing we can do about it (and any ransomware or encryption algorithm is vulnerable to it), in other side, there is also nothing to grant that the user is going to see the files back. So this is really something to ignore.

In other words, it is impossible to decrypt Philadelphia.

Test Client

Getting into the New Agent section, we get the following initial screen:

There’s a very long mutex used to ensure only a single instance is running, with option to generate a random mutex or allow manual entry.
PtiTTtV`iEU^lLesjdzQ`jNRwRLmWBkWDojBZUlGIu_gsCNwIMxr]OZNRZaPkslcC\dU[ukwcL^Jm]ll`omto^xzSdDMSes`O_PQeajUXeT[mhUcUABzKYovcfZxVkCtLBGWPkwyPGQXAmyUjFmAROA^QPO_ClPuHOz
was the default when I first ran this sample. There are various options related to UAC, either to not ask for admin rights or to ask for admin rights with varying degrees of effort. The ransomware should run just fine on a victim’s machine without having admin rights, however it appears that it would need admin rights in order to access certain folders such as other users’ folders on the same machine.

The “Bridges” section allows the ransomware controller to specify multiple bridge locations for the ransomware to access, and also specify the priority of which bridges to try first and in what order. The “Message” section allows the ransomware creator to specify the ransom note to be served to the victim. The default note is:

All your files have been encrypted!

All your documents (databases, texts, images, videos, musics etc.) were encrypted. The encryption was done using a secret key
that is now on our servers.

To decrypt your files you will need to buy the secret key from us. We are the only on the world who can provide this for you.

What can I do?

Pay the ransom, in bitcoins, in the amount and wallet below. You can use LocalBitcoins.com to buy bitcoins.

What’s interesting here is that the ransomware controller can specify a default ransom note, and then can also specify a custom ransom note for any one of a large number of other locales, based on the character set in use on the victim’s machine.

The “Timers” section is actually pretty interesting also. Philadelphia ransomware comes with a feature called “Russian Roulette” where a random file on the victim’s machine will be deleted based on a timer if payment is not yet made. This part of the Agent panel is where the settings for this feature can be specified. The default settings are to delete one random file every six hours, checking the bridge for payment every 60 seconds. A final deadline can also be specified, which by default is four days. At the end of this four day period, there is the option to delete all of the victim’s encrypted files and also to delete their encryption key from the bridge to remove the option of using it to decrypt the victim’s files.

The “Folders & Extensions” is very cool to me, after having looked at some other (shitty) malware builders. Here you can specify the folders to target, as well as how many levels (folders / directories) deep you want the Agent to encrypt. This is also where you can specify the types of files to target based on the files’ extensions, with encrypted files apparently receiving the extension “.locked”. The default extensions to target are:

7z avi bmp cdr doc docx gif html jpeg jpg mov mp3 mp4 pdf ppt pptx rar rtf tiff txt wallet wma wmv xls xlsx zip

It appears that this also allows the ransomware controller to specify which folders to attack first. Based on this, it looks like the ransomware will search through fixed drives first, then removable (likely USB) drives next, followed by network drives. Note also that Philadelphia is not destructive in the sense that it does not target system files or executable files. I’ve seen ransomware that does this, and this is pretty stupid if you’re actually trying to get a ransom payment (e.g., if you encrypt the users system and browser files, how are they going to access your payment site to send you money?).

The final section, “Worm & Rootkit”, is where one can add features such as USB infect, network spreading and packing (via UPX) to the Agent. There’s also an option to drop the ransom note as a text file on the victim’s desktop and in their documents folder. The default process name for the Agent is “Isass.exe” (in case the font doesn’t make it clear, that’s a capital I and not an l) and will extract itself to the %APPDATA% folder unless otherwise specified. There are options to hide the extracted files and also to melt (delete the initial malware executable upon execution). The ransomware can be set as an “unkillable” process and can also have a delay set on it to wait a specified number of minutes before executing its malicious functionality. Finally, there’s an option to show the ransom note/window before encrypting files — not sure why you’d want to do that, actually.

I went ahead and built a test Agent and Bridge. Bridge creation is very simple — just specify a bridge name, password and folder to use and the PHP file will be generated for one to put on the bridge server (whatever form it takes).

Checking out the test client, the ransomware builder uses UPX 3.91w to pack the new client, assuming that option was selected. The client is an AutoIT executable, created using AutoIT version 3.3.14.2. Upon execution, the file drops two files with .bin extensions into the %TEMP% folder on the victim’s machine, and then decodes these files and puts the decoded versions in the same directory with .dat extensions. See below for the part of the AutoIT script that handles this process:

And as text:

FileInstall("ph1la.bin", @TempDir & "\delph1.bin") FileInstall("pd4ta.dat", @TempDir & "\pd4ta.bin") If NOT FileExists(@TempDir & "\pd4ta.dat") Then _6g(@TempDir & "\pd4ta.bin", @TempDir & "\pd4ta.dat", "w0sar", $f) If NOT FileExists(@TempDir & "\delph1.dat") Then _6g(@TempDir & "\delph1.bin", @TempDir & "\delph1.dat", IniRead(@TempDir & "\pd4ta.dat", "file", "mutex", ""), $f)

The delph1.bin file is the script that gets executed by the ransomware later, invoked using the following commands:

From the initial malware executable:
C:\Lab\client\testclient.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "C:\Users\IEUser\AppData\Local\Temp\delph1.dat
And again later from the installed malware executable (masquerading as “Isass.exe”):
C:\Users\IEUser\AppData\Roaming\Isass.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "C:\Users\IEUser\AppData\Local\Temp\delph1.dat
The malware will make a copy of itself into the %APPDATA% folder (which is because that’s where we specified for installation earlier in the builder). The other file, pd4ta.dat, contains the configuration information for this particular copy of the ransomware:

As far as persistence, I observed that the ransomware modifies the Registry so that it will run at startup on the victim’s machine. A value of will be added (called “Windows Update”) pointing to the installed malware file at the following keys:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Here we can see all of the settings that we entered before, such as the bridge information, various options such as the USB spreader, and the list of extensions to target. Speaking of the USB spreader, what I saw is that the ransomware drops an autorun.inf file that it drops in the root directory of those drives.

Following this initial execution, once the ransomware installed itself into %APPDATA%, the initial set of processes (with the original filename) will terminate and then it will invoke a new set of processes (under the “Isass.exe” installed file). An interesting thing is how the request is formed to update the ransomware controller’s database upon infection:

p=Insert&osinfo=WIN_7&user=IEUser&country=United+States&av=Unknown+AV&locale=en-US&ucd=AnxyOZsh%5BiEfMfVd_Cdr%5EJP%60X%5BhROTrupox-False

Pretty easy to read it, but the p argument appears to be the action taken on the flat file; OS info shows the installed OS of the victim; user is the username of the victim on the infected machine; country is self explanatory; av appears to indicate the antivirus software (if any); locate shows character encoding on the victim machine; and finally the ucd argument appears to be the key. I’m not sure what the “-False” at the end indicates.

The Bridge

Taking a quick look at the .php file that was created (the test bridge), the beginning of this file shows where the user credentials are stored:
<?php define('USERNAME', 'testbridge'); define('PASSWORD', 'test'); define('FOLDER', './'); define('DEBUG', true);

Further down, there’s an interesting string related to the fake 404 message that is thrown should login fail:
function requirelogin() { if(@$_REQUEST['u']!=USERNAME OR @$_REQUEST['w']!=md5('ph1l4d3lph14'.PASSWORD.'r41nm4k3r')) throw_404(); }

An interesting section is found that details how the insert function works, see code below:

function InsertController() { $cfg = unserialize(file_get_contents(FOLDER.'config.pdb')); $unlock_code = $_REQUEST['ucd']; $osinfo = $_REQUEST['osinfo']; $user = $_REQUEST['user']; $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $country = $_REQUEST['country']; $locale = $_REQUEST['locale']; $av = $_REQUEST['av']; $wallet = array("19p1qwepRrYfeSKkrH2yWiKKimpMAjfxEn","1FyTD95k1ePdewMHGHieeg7VHwmHbinyDF","1HmNQChNXz3mcXrG4gADMrwcoSCBtYJVJo","1g2Xw9dT2XyhV4NnWFPEADbGubD94wNfr","1QAp9xdojT2i61xoC1guP4uKNE6pmMxyAC","195DMVkyh8oMi7tvEoC7XCZ72tQ2yi4aas","1Lo3fcDaF46ZntFSAPwMMJJmB5R8RTAUN5", "14VWCve4sT2fb7SCjvNmhpv8g98pzzRD6r","1JjLxyoMYHkm9VXHsfGVpK4UmUnp9ViJwv","1MG9875hajVtUmaE38wrBbXhbaNXCP46MV"); $wallet = trim($wallet[rand(0, sizeof($wallet)-1)]); $amount = $cfg['amount']; $geo = json_decode(@file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/json.gp?ip='.$ip)); $id = uniqid(); $victim = array( 'id' => $id, 'unlock_code' => $unlock_code, 'os_info' => $osinfo, 'av' => $av, 'user' => $user, 'country' => $country, 'locale' => $locale, 'geo' => array( 'lat' => $geo->geoplugin_latitude, 'lon' => $geo->geoplugin_longitude, 'country' => $geo->geoplugin_countryCode ), 'wallet' => $wallet, 'amount' => $amount, 'infected' => time(), 'paid' => false, 'unlocked' => false, 'lastactive' => time(), // ping every 30 min 'unlocked_when' => 0, // time of unlock verification 'transaction_code' => null, // saved btc transaction code 'status' => null );

One cool thing here is that you can see all of the wallets used. Looking these up don’t reveal any transactions, though. We can see here that the ‘ucd’ argument refers to the decryption key, as mentioned earlier. One can also see all the information about the victim’s machine being sent (OS version, location, character encoding, user name, and then transaction information about payments.

Here’s some code related to the payment “tolerance”:

$minimal_amount = $amount-($amount*($cfg['tolerance']/100));

This refers to the functionality in the ransomware that will help account for unforeseen transaction (or other) fees that might dip into the payment made by the victim and still count this payment as valid. For example, if you set a 10% tolerance, and the victim must pay 1 BTC, you would then count as paid a payment that was 0.95 BTC net of fees.

Some items for future research include:
– Digging more into the Delph1.dat file. I have very little experience with AutoIT, but I would really like to see what else can be decoded from this file since this appears to be the actual script that handles the ransomware functionality in the client.
– Looking through the bridge file some more to identify good ways to crawl or otherwise find these bridge files on compromised (or malicious) servers.
