Payload

Behaviour	Description
WormAutorun	A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Worm's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Process activity

The Worm creates the following process(es):

AppLaunch.exe:844

The Worm injects its code into the following process(es):

sqlserver.exe:348
%original file name%.exe:1332

Mutexes

The following mutexes were created/opened:No objects were found.

File activity

The process AppLaunch.exe:844 makes changes in the file system.

The Worm creates and/or writes to the following file(s):

%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\local.exe (59 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\1 (34 bytes)

The process %original file name%.exe:1332 makes changes in the file system.

The Worm creates and/or writes to the following file(s):

%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\System\sqlwritter.exe (1281 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\System\sqlserver.exe (41 bytes)

Registry activity

The process AppLaunch.exe:844 makes changes in the system registry.

The Worm creates and/or sets the following values in system registry:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG]
"Seed" = "61 53 83 40 30 40 7D 37 60 3A 5C 27 49 54 FF B3"

[HKCU\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\INSTALL\DATE]
"BATGI9MCBT" = "September 23, 2015"

The process sqlserver.exe:348 makes changes in the system registry.

The Worm creates and/or sets the following values in system registry:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG]
"Seed" = "A4 3D 02 46 8A C8 64 51 EF 17 D4 50 D4 F5 B9 5B"

"BaseClass" = "Drive"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

To automatically run itself each time Windows is booted, the Worm adds the following link to its file to the system registry autorun key:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MicrosoftÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® WindowsÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® Operating System" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\System\sqlserver.exe"

The process %original file name%.exe:1332 makes changes in the system registry.

The Worm creates and/or sets the following values in system registry:

"sqlserver.exe" = "NVIDIA User Experience Driver Component"

The Worm modifies IE settings for security zones to map all web-nodes that bypassing the proxy to the Intranet Zone:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap]
"ProxyBypass" = "1"

The Worm modifies IE settings for security zones to map all local web-nodes with no dots which do not refer to any zone to the Intranet Zone:
