Technical Details

This Trojan downloads other programs via the Internet and launches them on the victim machine without the user’s knowledge or consent. It is a Windows PE EXE file. The file is 2,269 bytes in size. It is packed using FSG. The unpacked file is approximately 8KB in size.


Payload

When launching, the Trojan opens the following link:

http://www.postcard.ru/

The Trojan launches a copy of svchost.exe, a system process, and injects its code into the process, which will in turn download files from the following links:

http://www.*****publicidad.com/images/images.php?w=1
http://www.*****publicidad.com/images/images.php?w=2
http://www.*****publicidad.com/images/images.php?w=3
http://www.*****publicidad.com/images/images.php?w=4

It saves these files to its working directory under the following names:

win1ogon.exe - this file is 11 305 bytes in size, and will be detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as Trojan-Spy.Win32.Iespy.ag 
mshelper.exe – this file is 43 008 bytes in size, and will be detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as Trojan-Proxy.Win32.Daemonize.cf
