Today I saw Sundown EK using a “pre-landing” page containing script pointing to JavaScript files via relative paths. File /trafficScript/iedetector.js contains JavaScript code, which will execute immediately after the browser receives the file.

Looking at “iedetector.js” shows numerous checks being performed. We can also see that there are comments left in the file:

Once the checks are completed the Sundown EK landing page is requested, this time using “index2.php?”:

We then see the GET requests for the Flash exploits and PNG exploit. I am not sure if this was a test that I caught, a one-off, or something that we might be seeing in the near future.

For anyone interested in taking a look at the files (JavaScript files, Flash exploits, PNG exploit and Sundown EK landing page) you can download them here:

They are zipped and password protected (same password used by numerous security researchers). Send me an email or hit me up on Twitter if you need the password.
