Do you have any idea why the malware checks the ProductId of the victim system with 5 specified ProductId s???

This is common technique used to determine if dropper runs in online sandbox service. This is part of anti forensics
Code: Select all

Anyway this never works with real AV lab.

Why do you think it is VirtualBox? Does it have any prebuilt Windows installations?
I can't check as I don't have this, but they can be from Windows XP mode or from VirtualBox running on Virustotal (as their sandbox page implementation). Also they are not from Comodo Camas, because they use for example 76487-OEM-0027453-63808 and 76487-OEM-0027453-63796 (all Id's will be with -OEM-).

What interesting so old technique, indeed works for Anubis, as their ProductId didn't change and always 76487-640-1457236-23837.


edit: figured out what is 76487-640-1464517-23529. It is detection of malwr.com sandbox. They use same Windows install for all sandboxes seems.

IP 149.20.63.55 belongs to Shadow Server. So the key is most likely used on one of their VMs.

I did a small app and send it to malwr retrieving Windows info. Their Id 76487-640-1464517-23529. If they share the same sandbox their ProductId is the same.
