Technical Details

This Trojan is designed to install and launch other malicious programs on the victim machine without the knowledge or consent of the user. It is a Windows PE EXE file. It is 86016 bytes in size. It is written in C++.


Payload

When launching, the Trojan extracts two files from its body and saves them as follows:

%System%\sysdb32.exe

This file is 3072 bytes in size. It will be detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Tiny.ba.

%System%\tcpb32.exe

This file is 47104 bytes in size. It will be detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as Backdoor.Win32.IRCBot.nw.

These files will then be launched for execution.

The Trojan then creates a command interpreter packet file in the current user's temporary directory and launches it. This file will delete the original Trojan file and its body.

  1. Delete all files created by the Trojan.

Trojan-Dropper

Trojan-Dropper programs are designed to secretly install malicious programs built into their code to victim computers.

This type of malicious program usually save a range of files to the victim’s drive (usually to the Windows directory, the Windows system directory, temporary directory etc.), and launches them without any notification (or with fake notification of an archive error, an outdated operating system version, etc.).

Such programs are used by hackers to:

  • secretly install Trojan programs and/or viruses
  • protect known malicious programs from being detected by antivirus solutions; not all antivirus programs are capable of scanning all the components inside this type of Trojans.
