Technical Details

This Trojan installs other programs to the victim machine without the knowledge or consent of the user. It is a Windows application (PE EXE file). It is 24 064 bytes in size. It is packed using UPX. The unpacked file is approximately 55 KB in size. It is written in C++.


Payload

Once launched, the Trojan performs the following actions:

  • It extracts a file from its body and saves it in the system as:
    %System%\mspyeajp.dll
    (36 865 bytes; detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as "Trojan-GameThief.Win32.OnLineGames.wvkw")
  • It launches the system utility "Rundll32.exe" with the following parameters:
    %System%\mspyeajp.dll,w
    This leads to a call to a function named "w" in the extracted DLL.
  • It finds a window with the class name "GxWindowClassD3d" in the system and closes it by sending the message WM_CLOSE.
  • In its working directory, it creates a script for the command interpreter, launches it, and ceases running. This script deletes the original Trojan file and deletes itself.

The Trojan then ceases running.

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.
