HermeticWiper

HermeticWiper הוא איום תוכנות זדוניות הרסני ביותר, שנועד להפוך את המחשבים שנפרצו לבלתי פעיליםבמיוחד. האיום הופעל נגד ארגונים רבים באוקראינה וככל הנראה קשור לפלישה הרוסית למדינה. על פי המסקנות של מספר ספקי אבטחת סייבר, מאות מכונות השייכות לארגונים ממגזרי תעשייה שונים - פיננסים, תעופה, ביטחון ושירותי IT, כבר נפגעו. סביר להניח שהמספר הכולל של המחשבים המושפעים גבוה בהרבה.

פונקציונליות ופרטי התקפה

HermeticWiper מסוגלת להשחית את רשומת האתחול הראשית (MBR) של מחשבי Windows, שהוא מרכיב חיוני שאחראי לטעינה נכונה של מערכת ההפעלה. על ידי מחיקתו, התוכנה הזדונית חוסמת את המערכת כולה ומונעת ממנה להיות ניתנת לאתחול. לפי חברת האבטחה SentinelOne, הטכניקה בה נוצל האיום כרוכה במינוף הדרייברים הלגיטימיים של אפליקציית EaseUs Partition Master החינמית וגורמת לשחיתות של הכוננים הקשיחים של המערכת. לגבי האיום עצמו, נראה שהוא חתום בתעודה דיגיטלית השייכת לחברה בשם 'Hermetica Digital Ltd'. ממוקם בקפריסין.

נראה כי מתקפת HermeticeWiper תוכננה זמן רב מראש, כאשר פושעי הסייבר התפשרו על חלק מהמערכות הממוקדות חודשים קודם לכן. במערכות מסוימות, התוקפים גם פרסו איומי כופר לצד HermeticWiper, אך המהלך הזה הוא ככל הנראה ניסיון הסחה כדי להסוות את כוונותיהם האמיתיות.

Windows Portable Executable Attributes

i

Windows Portable Executable Attributes

This section lists file attributes found within family samples. These attributes are extracted from the files’ Windows PE (Portable Executable) specification and various system flags. Portable Executable Attributes give malware researchers insight into a file’s functionality, executable details, platform and runtime environment.

• File doesn't have "Rich" header
• File doesn't have exports table
• File is 32-bit executable
• File is either console or GUI application
• File is GUI application (IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI)
• File is Native application (NOT .NET application)
• File is not packed
• IMAGE_FILE_DLL is not set inside PE header (Executable)
• IMAGE_FILE_EXECUTABLE_IMAGE is set inside PE header (Executable Image)

File Icons

File Icons

This section displays icon resources found within family samples. Malware often replicates icons commonly associated with legitimate software to mislead users into believing the malware is safe.

Digital Signatures

i

Digital Signatures

This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.

Block Information

During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.

Total Blocks:	55
Potentially Malicious Blocks:	45
Whitelisted Blocks:	10

Similar Families

This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.

Registry Modifications

This section lists registry keys and values that were created, modified and/or deleted by samples in this family. Windows Registry activity can provide valuable insight into malware functionality. Additionally, malware often creates registry values to allow itself to automatically start and indefinitely persist after an initial infection has compromised the system.
