Technical Details

This Trojan downloads files from the Internet and launches them without the user's knowledge. It is a Windows application (PE EXE file). It is 29 696 bytes in size. It is packed using UPX. The unpacked file is approximately 48 KB in size. It is written in C++.


Payload

Once launched, the Trojan performs the following actions in a cycle with a 60-second interval:

  • It establishes a connection with the hosts:
    ccoo***o.cc
    cccoo***o.cc
    
  • If the connection to these hosts is successful, an HTTP request is sent in the following format:
    GET favicon.ico HTTP/1.1
    Host: bcProxyBot.com
    Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg
    Accept-Language: en-us
    UA-CPU: x86
    User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; 
    .NET CLR 1.2.2.1)
    Cookie: 000C29CBBE24<computer name>
  • In response to this request, the server sends a file, which the Trojan saves in the current user's temporary files directory "%Temp%" under a random name. Once downloaded, the file is launched for execution.
At the time of writing, these files could not be downloaded.
