HermeticWiper

HermeticWiper er en ekstremt destruktiv trussel mot skadelig programvare, designet for å gjøre de ødelagte datamaskinene ubrukeligenærmere bestemt. Trusselen ble utnyttet mot en rekke organisasjoner i Ukraina og er sannsynligvis knyttet til den russiske invasjonen av landet. Ifølge konklusjonene fra flere cybersikkerhetsleverandører, har hundrevis av maskiner som tilhører organisasjoner fra forskjellige industrisektorer - finans, luftfart, forsvar og IT-tjenester, allerede blitt kompromittert. Det totale antallet berørte datamaskiner er sannsynligvis mye høyere.

Funksjonalitet og angrepsdetaljer

HermeticWiper er i stand til å ødelegge Master Boot Record (MBR) til Windows-PCer, som er en avgjørende komponent som er ansvarlig for riktig lasting av operativsystemet. Ved å tørke det, blokkerer skadelig programvare hele systemet og stopper det fra å være oppstartbart. I følge sikkerhetsfirmaet SentinelOne involverer teknikken som brukes av trusselen å utnytte de legitime driverne til den gratis EaseUs Partition Master-applikasjonen og resulterer i korrupsjon av systemets harddisker. Når det gjelder selve trusselen, ser det ut til at den er signert med et digitalt sertifikat som tilhører et selskap som heter 'Hermetica Digital Ltd.' ligger på Kypros.

HermeticeWiper-angrepet ser ut til å ha vært planlagt i god tid, med nettkriminelle som kompromitterte noen av de målrettede systemene måneder tidligere. På noen systemer distribuerte angriperne også løsepengevaretrusler sammen med HermeticWiper, men dette trekket er mest sannsynlig et avledningsforsøk for å maskere deres sanne intensjoner.

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

i

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

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.
