Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.dcbd

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 70 656 bytes in size. It is written in C++.

Payload

Once launched, the Trojan performs the following actions:

• It extracts files from its body and saves them in the system as:

  %System%\<rnd1>.dll

  (56 320 bytes; detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as "Trojan.Win32.Agent.eiyv") This library exports the function "Execute", which is designed to block antivirus programs such as the following on the infected system:

  McAfee
  RAV AntiVirus
  ESET NOD32
  

  It blocks them by stopping their respective services, deleting system registry keys, and terminating the processes of certain libraries in the address space.

  %System%\<rnd2>.dll

  (8704 bytes; detected by kaspersky Anti-Virus as "Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.dxqs")
  The library exports the "Execute" function, which downloads files from the Internet. The downloaded files are saved in the "%Temp%" directory. When this function is performed, the following system registry autorun key is created in a separate thread in an endless cycle:

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

  This ensures that "%System%\system.exe" is launched automatically each time the system is restarted.
  where <rnd1> and <rnd2> are random strings of letters (for example: "ugkreaca" and "xonbecca").
• It launches the system utility "rundll32.exe" with the following parameters:

  %System%\<rnd1>.dll Execute
  %System%\<rnd2>.dll Execute
  

  This way, functions named "Execute" are called from the extracted libraries.
• It moves its body to the file:

  %System%\system.exe

The Trojan then ceases running.
