Arrival Details

This Trojan arrives on a system as a file dropped by other malware or as a file downloaded unknowingly by users when visiting malicious sites.

Installation

This Trojan drops the following copies of itself into the affected system:

  • %System Root%\Arquivos de programas\QgcbicG\MahvbfB\YeynmbP.exe

(Note: %System Root% is the root folder, which is usually C:\. It is also where the operating system is located.)

It creates the following folders:

  • %System Root%\Arquivos de programas
  • %System Root%\Arquivos de programas\QgcbicG
  • %System Root%\Arquivos de programas\QgcbicG\DgnrrkW
  • %System Root%\Arquivos de programas\QgcbicG\MahvbfB
  • %System Root%\Arquivos de programas\QgcbicG\KdkeivJ

(Note: %System Root% is the root folder, which is usually C:\. It is also where the operating system is located.)

Autostart Technique

This Trojan adds the following registry entries to enable its automatic execution at every system startup:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
YeynmbP = "%System Root%\Arquivos de programas\QgcbicG\MahvbfB\YeynmbP.exe -Start"

Other System Modifications

This Trojan adds the following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sistemanet

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\
esent\process\{malware file name}

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\
esent\process\{malware file name}\
debug

It adds the following registry entries:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sistemanet
direct = "{random characters}"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sistemanet
name1 = "jhijaoajabajaaojaoijihjho)"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sistemanet
lugarjpg = "{random characters}"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sistemanet
tbl = "jaafjihjiejiijigjaadjaadjaaajaae)"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sistemanet
xxx = "jaaejaoejaoi)"

It modifies the following registry entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\
Services\Eventlog\Application\
ESENT
EventMessageFile = "%System%\ESENT.dll"

(Note: The default value data of the said registry entry is {random values}.)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\
Services\Eventlog\Application\
ESENT
CategoryMessageFile = "%System%\ESENT.dll"

(Note: The default value data of the said registry entry is {random values}.)
