DIGITAL DNA SEQUENCE FOR AURORA MALWARE

To thwart command and control and prevent data loss,
known C&C domains should be blocked at the egress firewall.
The domains listed in the Detect section represent a
significant set of those currently known to be operating. IDS
signatures similar to the one illustrated in the Detect section
should be used to detect inbound exploit attempts, and
machines accepting this data should be scanned for potential
infections. Many A/V products now contain signatures for the
Aurora exploit and will be effective in detection and removal.
However, the attackers that represent the threat will not be
deterred, and variants of the attack are nearly assured.
FACTORS
DESCRIPTION
C&C protocol
If a variant is developed, it will very
likely use the same C&C protocol, but
may change the header of the packet
and the constants used for connection
setup. This will evade IDS / Firewall
rules designed to detect the current
scheme. It is unlikely the attackers will
change the encryption setup, however.
Installation and Deployment
The method used to install the service
is highly effective. Although the
filenames will likely change, the actual
method will likely remain.
INOCULATION
DIGITAL DNA INOCULATION SHOT
HBGary has prepared an inoculation shot for this malware.
The inoculation shot is a small, signed binary that will allow
you to scan for, and optionally remove, this malware from
your Enterprise network. The aurora innoculation shot can be
downloaded from www.hbgary.com.
When the aurora innoculation shot is executed it will query
the user for authentication credentials. Optionally the user
can just hit
cancel
to use the currently logged on USER
authentication token. Some sample usages are listed below.
To scan a single machine:
AuroraInnoculation.exe -scan 192.168.0.1
AuroraInnoculation.exe -scan MYBOXNAME
To scan multiple machines:
AuroraInnoculation.exe -range 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.254
To automatically attempt a clean operation:
AuroraInnoculation.exe -range 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.254 -clean
To scan a list of machines in a .txt file:
AuroraInnoculation.exe -list targets.txt
MCAFEE EPO CUSTOMERS
DETECTION OF AURORA THREATS WITH DIGITAL DNA FOR EPO
Customers of McAfee ePolicy Orchastrator, integrated
with Digital DNA, can detect emerging advanced persistent
threats. To detect Aurora, users should perform a Digital
DNA Sequence search with the above mentioned sequence
for Aurora, and set a fuzzy match of 90% or greater. Once
machines are detected, the user is encouraged to use the
freely available inoculation shot to remove the infection.
