Technical Information
To ensure autorun and distribution:
Modifies the following registry keys:
- [<HKLM>\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] 'UserInit' = '<SYSTEM32>\userinit.exe,%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\MSCONFIG\windows.exe'
- [<HKCU>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] 'System(32bits)' = '%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\MSCONFIG\windows.exe'
Creates the following files on removable media:
- <Drive name for removable media>:\mmst.pif
- <Drive name for removable media>:\autorun.inf
Malicious functions:
To bypass firewall, removes or modifies the following registry keys:
- [<HKLM>\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile] 'DisableNotifications' = '00000001'
- <Auxiliary element>
- [<HKLM>\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile] 'DoNotAllowExceptions' = '00000000'
- [<HKLM>\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List] '<Full path to virus>' = '<Full path to virus>:*:Enabled:ipsec'
- [<HKLM>\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile] 'EnableFirewall' = '00000000'
To complicate detection of its presence in the operating system,
forces the system hide from view:
- hidden files
blocks execution of the following system utilities:
- Windows Task Manager (Taskmgr)
blocks the following features:
- User Account Control (UAC)
- Windows Security Center
Creates and executes the following:
- '%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\MSCONFIG\windows.exe'
Executes the following:
- '<SYSTEM32>\attrib.exe' "<Current directory>" +s +h
- '<SYSTEM32>\notepad.exe'
- '<SYSTEM32>\attrib.exe' "<Full path to virus>" +s +h
Injects code into
the following system processes:
- <SYSTEM32>\attrib.exe
a large number of user processes.
Modifies file system :
Creates the following files:
- %TEMP%\hmkny.exe
- <DRIVERS>\hkiqg.sys
- %TEMP%\winpwrh.exe
- C:\nhsrcx.pif
- C:\autorun.inf
- %TEMP%\000201DA_Rar\<Virus name>.exe
- %HOMEPATH%\My Documents\MSCONFIG\windows.exe
- %TEMP%\00025D1A_Rar\windows.exe
- %TEMP%\00025CCC_Rar\windows.exe
Sets the 'hidden' attribute to the following files:
- C:\nhsrcx.pif
- <Drive name for removable media>:\autorun.inf
- <Drive name for removable media>:\mmst.pif
- %HOMEPATH%\My Documents\MSCONFIG\windows.exe
- <Full path to virus>
- C:\autorun.inf
Deletes the following files:
- <DRIVERS>\hkiqg.sys
- %TEMP%\hmkny.exe
- %TEMP%\winpwrh.exe
- %TEMP%\000201DA_Rar\<Virus name>.exe
- %TEMP%\00025CCC_Rar\windows.exe
- %TEMP%\00025D1A_Rar\windows.exe
Deletes itself.
