Here's "a way" to stop/block/track/nailing Gameover: http://blog.malwaremustdie.org/2014/03/ ... rooks.html
Positively PoC and confirmed. Let's hammer this weak point together, and please write more posts of this threat.
let's see they are suffering the strike back from engineers, security and researchers community.

Which is easy ... don't allow Windows Explorer to access internet ;)

In this case, I must disagree to this WRONG fact.
Why? Even connected into internet the GMO's DGA will be rapidly requested, this works to the sample which its hashes I mentioned and announced. It has the special purpose which I posted in details here: http://blog.malwaremustdie.org/2014/03/ ... rooks.html

In addition, for the sake of good research in fighting malware, I'd say, instead to burp a quick commenting in a someone's serious research posts, one should investigate things deeper before stated something unless that will be only pointing into a wrong information. I reversed & tested all stuff all over again (and again) to proof my own statement above. I challenge anyone that can proof me otherwise by the verdicted sample's hash investigated and posted.

I don't know why I have to justify myself. If I have spare time I'll make a video of what I'm saying.

"The binary starts by sending out a request to Google, probably to test the internet connectivity of the computer. Next, a series of hardcoded peers are contacted to obtain its configuration file, updates and an active list of peers. If none of the peers can be reached, GameOver falls back to a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) that creates around 1000 pseudorandom domains per day."

Block with decent firewall and you'll only get DGA.

FYI, I've added a video that shows that by not allowing Windows Explorer straight away to access internet you can FORCE GameOver to start using the DGA instead of the hardcoded peers. So tell me again that I am wrong ...

Comodo AV Labs Identifies Dangerous Zeus Banking Trojan Variant ~ https://blogs.comodo.com/e-commerce/com ... us-trojan/

[Mad_Dud]

According to Fortinet - P2P Zeus Performs Critical Update

On April 8, our monitoring system found that the version number included in the encrypted TCP packet has been updated to 0x3B.

Apart from its original functions of banking information stealing, process injection, and so on, the new binary would also drop a rootkit driver file into the %SYSTEM32%\drivers folder. The rootkit basically hides the P2P Zeus and prevents the deletion of its binary and its autorun registry entries.

Pulled some fresh samples from a machine on 16 July 2014.

MBAM detected the following:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\gemnoss.dll (Trojan.LVBP.ED) 
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\UpdateFlashPlayer_6645eca2.exe (Spyware.Zbot.MSXGen)

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Geevyq\akewd.exe (Spyware.Zbot.VXGen) 

Even after removing these and cleaning up autoruns, the malware would return. I assume its rootkit-ed, but I cant find the rootkit driver file..I'm not that skilled so I only used GMER, but it finds nothing.

The ZeuS samples spawned an Adobe Flash update install which was legit as far as I can see.. sooo, I guess thanks for that..?

Also, my VirtualBox Win7 install has "GuestAdditions" and no anti-VM patching. I would have thought the malware looked for that and wont run..

I am sorry, I made mistake! This variant is not for Zbot thread. I know how this works but I don't know what is this (T T)
Pls kindly help to move to proper threat topic
