Update on GoodMan

I discovered the GoodMan campaign on January 20th, 2017. You can read a detailed report on GoodMan HERE. Since March, 2017, I’ve seen more domains being registered by “goodmandilaltain@gmail.com” and I’ve recorded GoodMan delivering Sage 2.2 ransomwareZeusVM, something with a file description of “Neighbur Readiness Ransomware,” and now what looks like LatentBot.

Below is a list of some recent domains being registered to goodmandilaltain@gmail.com:

t00lz.biz is the newest domain to be registered to goodmandilaltain@gmail.com. Here is an image of the page:

Furthermore, many of the newer domains are being hosted at 31.7.63.186. For example:

I also located a login panel for what could be a TDS on 31.7.63.186:

Here is a run that I did on April 6th using the gate anyfucks.biz:

Traffic 1

The request to anyfucks.biz returned a 302 Moved Temporarily and pointed to the RIG exploit kit landing page:

GET 1

IOCs:

  • 89.45.67.239 – anyfucks.biz – GoodMan

  • 89.45.67.239 – anyfucks.biz – GET /admin1/config.jpg – ZeusVM configuration URL

179.43.188.170 appears to be used by the GoodMan actor(s) as they’ve been using it to host various GoodMan domains:

According to Cybercrime Tracker the ZeusVM panels for this domain were setup at the following locations:

  • 86.127.137.250 – ddobnajanu.club/smk/cp.php?m=login
  • 178.54.248.165 – ddobnajanu.club/haseeb/cp.php?m=login

You might remember that anyfucks.biz was running a Keitaro TDS and now it appears it was involved in hosting numerous ZeusVM configuration files too.

The next run I did was on April 20th:

Traffic 2

You can see from the list of GoodMan gates at the beginning of this article another domain called alooki.us

Like before anyfucks.biz redirected my host to the RIG exploit landing page via a 302 Moved Temporarily. The payload that it dropped had the file description of “Neighbur Readiness Ransomware”.

Malicious Artifacts 2.zip

I did a couple more runs on April 20th, 2017, however I ended up using the GoodMan gate hurtmehard.net. All of my runs using hurtmehard.net resulted in me getting what looks like LatentBot. Below is an image of the traffic I collected on April 20th:

Traffic 3

And here is an image of the GoodMan iframe found on hurtmehard.net:

The C2 traffic generated some ET alerts:

  • ET TROJAN Win32/Hyteod CnC Beacon
  • ET POLICY HTTP traffic on port 443 (POST)

The payload was dropped in %Temp% and copied to AppDataLocalMicrosofWindows:

There are also some .tmp text files created in %Temp% which contain some encoded data.

There is a detailed FireEye report on LatentBot which can be found HERE. The report shows how the GET requests for .ZIP files are actually modules pretending to be ZIP files. These files are encoded data that are saved into the following subkeys located at HKCUSoftwareGoogleUpdatenetworksecure:

registry latentbot

Malicious plugins found in the registry

  1. FtUFJu5xP3C = Formgrabber (steals user typed data in forms)
  2. hdtWD3zyxMpSQB = Bot_Engine (base module)
  3. l551X+rNDh3B4A =
  4. QdG8eO0qHI8/Y1G = Send_report
  5.  QdW/DoI2F9J = Security (searches for AV software and tools)
  6. RRrIibQs+WzRVv5B+9iIys+17huxID = Remote_desktop_service (allows remote access to victim’s machine via RDP)
  7. VRWVBM6UtH6F+7UcwkBKPB = Vnc_hide_desktop

According to the FireEye report the VNC plugin has the following functionality:

•    Implements a keylogger
•    ICMP Requests
•    MBR Wiper
•    Hidden VNC Remote Desktop
•    Manipulate the desktop
•    Intercept mouse events

Additional keys:

registry latentbot 2

HKCUSoftwareGoogleCommonRlzEvents

registry latentbot 3

HKCUSoftwareAdobeAdobe Acrobat

I also found an entry in Run which is used for persistence:

HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

Until next time!
