Technical Details

This Trojan downloads other files via the Internet and launches them for execution on the victim machine without the user’s knowledge or consent. It is a Windows PE EXE file. It is 31744 bytes in size. It is written in Visual Basic.

Installation

Once launched, the Trojan copies its executable file to the Windows system directory:

%System%\wdfmgrnt.exe

In order to ensure that the Trojan is launched automatically each time the system is booted, the Trojan adds a link to its executable file in the system registry:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"wdfmgrnt" = "%System%\wdfmgrnt.exe"

Payload

The Trojan launches Internet Explorer and injects into it code which downloads a file from the following links:

http://59.***.197.***/t21.exe
http://59.***.197.***/10050.exe

These files will be saved to the Windows system directory:

%System%\t21.exe – this file is 159905 bytes in size.
%System%\10050.exe – this file is 155648 bytes in size.

The downloaded files will then be launched for execution.
