(Help Request) .Net Protector Identification

April 2, 2016

Hi

I tried die , peid , protecton id , rdg , but cannot detect protector.

de4dot detected as deepsea , but deobfuscation ws not done.

File attached FoxUserTools.zip

File can be malware , etc , please use VM , protection.

Need packer identification and unpack help.

Regards

April 2, 2016

First layer is DeepSea and de4dot does everything it's supposed to do.

Deobfuscated code appears to be malicious, contains sandbox detectors like these:

try
{
	sKoX9O9it4C3Few1Ng.XViCZFFAg(qdbyJBTmOHGf7lskqL.j1yMCOm9B("snxhk.dll"));
}
catch
{
}

Then it will eventually call this code (below), which will decrypt another assembly and return it as a byte array. Then it will be loaded using standard AppDomain.Load() call. DNSpy or WindDbg to the rescue..

// gmStyiMM84nk6EDeC7.Xw7UJn47vltFDr14wV
public static byte[] gXIZC0AOU()
{
	byte[] com4oPQDh = Gk2iPhdGljKE7tB0pH.com4oPQDh;
	int[] t2beL6gLh = g4xb1boMI5FAeANmrQn.T2beL6gLh;
	int int_;
	int int_2;
	int num;
	byte[] array;
....
	return array;
}

April 2, 2016

Okay sorry de4dot worked.

Yes it might have malware I said.

So the new code after de4dot deob is custom obfuscator ?

AppDomain.Load() call - part I have not done before. Any reference to do it.

Regards

edit -

dllresource.zip

this dll file is loaded which is also obfuscated

Edited April 2, 2016 by madskillz

April 2, 2016

DLLResource code is not obfuscated, just the names. Key part is which Class37.RunPE which launches executable that's either downloaded or decrypted from resources.

April 6, 2016

Any deob help on this file , after some help , this file is the payload file which drops the BTC Stealer.

payload.rar

April 6, 2016

Yet another Reflection-based crap, loads assembly from resources:

// XixYbUaCKVriErrjHkuVivgPxkz
private bool QRiaQjijseCZARssDtPbelOrPCXKA(byte[] rawAssembly)
{
	bool result;
	try
	{
		this.QMUAzpEmKpvyGKNFZRGqlqHEQhWo = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load(rawAssembly);
		Type type = this.QMUAzpEmKpvyGKNFZRGqlqHEQhWo.GetTypes()[0];
		object arg_38_0 = null;
		Type expr_21 = type;
		NewLateBinding.LateCall(arg_38_0, expr_21, expr_21.GetMethods()[0].Name, new object[0], null, null, null, true);
		result = true;
	}
	catch
	{
		result = false;
	}
	return result;
}

Called from here:

// uwoCCELxCEBMlqtetpkNYhmFlruC
protected override void gdYmFCQtkVaxlSgpcOUXJgqmFRMh(ControlEventArgs e)
{
	new XixYbUaCKVriErrjHkuVivgPxkz().DPgTrGnUXvAbatGetEbQItCIviNVA();  -- calls evil method below 
	base.OnControlAdded(e);  -- and then legit OnControlAdded()
}

// XixYbUaCKVriErrjHkuVivgPxkz
public bool DPgTrGnUXvAbatGetEbQItCIviNVA()
{
	return this.QRiaQjijseCZARssDtPbelOrPCXKA(this.xvJXOEUWtZvSpyarfYAbqrApwlEe);  -- calls method that loads evil assembly
}

Again I can only repeat what I suggested earlier - WinDbg or DNSpy to the rescue.

dnSpy helped to get the AParcEngine.dll. As you mentioned it has RunPE mechanism and {smartassembly} obfuscation . But the binary not able to execute

April 6, 2016

It's a DLL, of course it won't run alone.

Anyways, unless I missed something, the used RunPE mechanism is the most retarded one (drop EXE to TEMP folder and use CreateProcessW) and it's very simple to get the EXE. This one is not even obfuscated:

// Main.Program
[STAThread]
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
	try
	{
		if (args.Length == 1)
		{
			Hacking.InitSoftware(Config.StartMode, args[0]);
		}
		else
		{
			Hacking.InitSoftware(Config.StartMode, null);
		}
		new FormBackground();
		Application.Run();
	}
	catch
	{
	}
}

How do I execute a DLL in dnspy ? any refs please.

April 7, 2016

Try to write a program in C#/VB.net that loads the dll and execute the desired method then debug it with DnSpy (think of it like Loaddll.exe for Olly)

April 8, 2016

How to clean AParcEngine.dll (Smartassembly) cleanly with de4dot ?

April 8, 2016

I wasn't able to do that - but I didn't try very hard. Try the latest de4dot build from the appveyor build server. If that doesn't work, you'd need to update de4dot code (which is probably a bit out of your league atm).

Or you can read my previous post more carefully and use original exe and Olly to extract the file you want.

April 8, 2016

The new build of de4dot doesn't work on this file. About updating de4dot code , you see right through me kao.

BTW I was able to debug into the dll code , by loading payload binary and when AParcEngine.dll was loaded in memory , did a breakpoint on the entrypoint . This way I can step into each code of the dll . but the purpose is to extract the next exe , which I dont know how.

Your previous post - bp on CreateProcessW ?

April 8, 2016

AU-Run-Immediately - is this the resulting exe you get after the dll ??

If yes I already had it , cause this is the btc stealer binary which runs on each startup.

I confused myself of there being one more binary between AParcEngine and AU-Run-Immediately .

Yes, I think so. At least, I didn't detect any other intermediate steps.

April 8, 2016

Well that malware file is done unpacking and analyzing.

Now to another binary , not malware , but found via tor. It is called FraudFox. Its used to get unique browser fingerprinting among many other use.

uploading only the main binary apart from the firefox portable , vip72 , proxifier , etc files.

FraudFox.zip

It says packed with confuserex 0.4.0 but unpack still not done.

latest de4dot does not unpack clean.

Used all CC tools , but no unpack happening.

Can you please analyze and tell me what can be the issue in unpacking ?

Regards

April 8, 2016

Sorry for intrusion but i think that you latest post is not related to the current thread.

Is better if you create a new thread to mantain consultation of the board ordered.

Thanks

By now you should already know - that's not how it works.

a. You need it, you do it. And when you get stuck, you describe what exactly you did and what exactly did not work.

b. If you have an issue with CC tools, go ask in that thread.

c. In general it's impossible to unpack/deobfuscate stuff dynamically without all the relevant DLLs (this case might be an exception). So, uploading only the main EXE is not helping either..

By the first look - there is no reason why CodeCracker's tools should not work. Only control-flow and constants are obfuscated, it doesn't get much easier than that.

I guessed it was better to not open a new thread.

After reading your post , I spent more time on the application , sorry for the late reply.

The program only loads if it is inside "C:\FraudFox\" folder.

Windows XP only.

Unpacking tools used -

de4dot

ConfuserExCallFixer

ConfuserExStringDecryptor.

ConfuserExDupPopPatcher

ConfuserLdcPopPatcher

ConfuserXorCalc.

The deobfuscation looks clean initially but after loading the binary and clicking on login , the error comes

So checking in dnspy , the code is not cleant completely in many places.

As you mentioned it might be an issue with the tools and I will have to ask the tools author on their threads regarding incomplete deob.

=---------------------------------------------=

To run the binary , it needs to be in C:/FraudFox and it also needs many other files , but for unpacking and using the login function , the tor folder will be enough. Adding other files will lead to a archive of more than 300 MB.

My unpacked/deob try with the above tools used. it also contains the tor folder.

FraudFox.rar

Hopefully I have done more than before , can I get some help on what I must have done wrong ? or the tools are not actually working. Please confiirm.

As always, peverify to the rescue:

After looking at IL code, it's clear that either you didn't use ConfuserExSwitchKiller or it failed to clean some switch constructs:

I have mentioned the tools I used - ConfuserExSwitchKiller is not part of it because codecracker said it is only for 0.5.0

My target is 0.4.0

The tools did fail to clean some switch constants at many places.

Some other error -

Yes, that error is also detected by peverify (and I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that tool in response to your questions quite some time ago):

[IL]: Error: [T:\FraudFox.exe : Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer::SetupReader][offset 0x000000A7] Stack must be empty on return from a void function.

It's not "not done completely", it's completely broken.

Try applying tools one-by-one, check each output and see which tool messes up the code.

Then I forgot as its not something I use all the time. But you have some good memory about that. The possibility of you mentioning like just in this thread is anyway high,

Yes it is.

I will try this now.

April 12, 2016

@kao , all the tools are messing up the code.

So now what can be the solutions be ?

Using ConfuserEx 0.5.0 tools like ConfuserExSwitchKiller , ConfuserExConstantDecryptor , there is a lot of control flow switch remaining but the application is running and even the login does.

Updated info on unpack,

April 12, 2016

I'll repeat myself - if CodeCracker's tools are failing (what a surprise! ) you can try asking in the appropriate thread.

I'm not sure what else can I add to this thread. Problem is identified, finding a solution is up to you.
