What is malware hunter?Malware Hunter is a specialized Shodan crawler that explores the Internet looking for command & control (C2s) servers for botnets. It does this by pretending to be an infected client that's reporting back to a C2. Since we don't know where the C2s are located the crawler effectively reports back to every IP on the Internet as if the target IP is a C2. If the crawler gets a positive response from the IP then we know that it's a C2.

Why did my security software raise an alert?Malware Hunter doesn't perform any attacks and the requests it sends don't contain any malicious content. The reason your security product raised an alert is because it is using a signature that should only be used for traffic leaving the network (egress) but is incorrectly being applied to incoming traffic (ingress). In other words: the security product is using a signature that was meant to detect when a computer on your network was infected and reporting back to a C2. However, the signature is also being applied to all traffic going into your network which is why it's raising a false alert.

Where can I learn more about this method?Recorded Future has released a report and article that explains the technique in more detail and how it helps to pre-emptively find the malware C2s:

Can I see the results?Yes! If an IP is classified as a C2 then you will see the "malware" tag on it. And all the results of Malware Hunter can be found by searching on Shodan. Note that you will need to have a Corporate subscription to download the full list of results.

No. This service is strictly for identifying what ransomware may have encrypted your files. It will attempt to point you in the right direction, and let you know if there is a known way of decrypting your files. Otherwise, there is no automated recovery attempts, as each case is different.

Any uploaded files are immediately analysed against the database of signatures. If results are found, they are immedietely deleted. If no results are found, the uploaded files may be shared with trusted malware analysts to help with future detections, or identifying a new ransomware.

Data is uploaded to the server over SSL, meaning the connection can not be intercepted by a third-party.

With that said, I cannot guarantee files are kept 100% confidential. The data is temporarily stored on a shared host, and I am not responsible for anything done otherwise with this data.

Many ransomware have similar "signatures" in common, such as sharing the same extension on files. This makes it difficult to be 100% certain in some cases. Results are ordered by how many matches there are to prove it may be a particular ransomware.

ID Ransomware is, and always will be, a free service to the public. It is currently a personal project that I have created to help guide victims to reliable information on a ransomware that may have infected their system. Other than direct development and signature additions to the website itself, it is an overall community effort.

I do not ask for any money for my services. I do, however, highly recommend investing in a proper backup to prevent you from becoming a victim in the future - ransomware is not the only cause of data loss! There are several easy and affordable cloud services available that offer great precautions against a ransomware attack, among other disasters.

However, if I or this website have helped you, and you really do wish to give back, feel free to toss a dollar or two my way to help with hosting costs.

Nowadays malware represents a powerful tool for cyber attackers and cyber criminals all around the world, with over 856 million of distinct samples identified during the last year it is, with no doubt, one of the major kinds of threat that companies and organizations are tackling to keep running their business without losing resources, time, money, shares and, last but not least, reputation and customers.

Decades of adversarial coevolution with the Anti-Virus industry led the malware threats to develop the ability to evade detection, bypassing security boundaries and staying silent until the proper time. Finally unleashing their malicious behaviour, enabling remote hackers, cyber-criminals and spies to steal secrets, data, digital goods and money, compromising business processes and even human life. For fun and profit.

This battle, against malware, is huge. Trends and market evolution has shown no single Vendor has the power to overcome these threats, but the cooperation of security professionals, info-sec and intelligence communities, Vendors, CERTs and CSIRTs can.

Yomi is a malware sandbox able to digest and detonate malicious documents, executables, installers and scripts in a controlled environment, silently recording each samples actions inside the custom analysis environment designed to defeat evasion techniques, and then spot and track the malicious behaviour hidden by attackers.

Yomi can analyse a huge variety of executable file types, ranging from PE32 (Native or .NET) both x86 and x86_64bit, Java binaries, Powershell scripts, JS or VB scripts, Cabinet files, HTML pages, PDF documents, Office Documents such as Powerpoint, Excel or Word files (even the exetic ones) and several common or uncommon compressed archives format ranging

from ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, BZ2, up to the ACE format. Yomi provides ad hoc analysis path for each of these file families, leveraging a plethora of security tools to extract much information as possible from each sample. For instance documents and spreadsheets are inspected for macro code or embedded exploits, extracting them from the original file, instead executable files are statically checked to gather contextual info and then instrumented for dynamic analysis, or also Java files, decompiled to ease their manual inspection.

Network addresses, domains and patterns are one of the most actionable kinds of indicators a blue team may exploit to spot malicious activity within network perimeter, their relevance can also be appreciated during threat intelligence operations, where they represent some of the basic blocks needed to track threat actors activities.

However, during the years, due to the increasing usage of end to end encryption, attackers started to abuse SSL protected channels to avoid detection, leveraging the limited visibility on these channels to evade IPS and next-gen proxies, enabling them to bypass an important part of the perimetral security controls, leaving the victims in the hand of their last resource: antiviruses. Well known technologies, even by cyber criminals.

In fact, Yomi supports the Man in the Middle feature, able to force eventual malicious samples under analysis to transit into an ad hoc SSL proxy, instrumented to record and analyze network traffic in transit, giving visibility on encrypted channel to the malware hunters.

Almost all security professional knows not every sample and not every analysis can be shared to the public. Some times, especially during APT investigations, analysis reports cannot be disclosed to the community, at least during the initial phases of the analysis, or, for instance, during take-downs or joint investigation with law enforcement, typically requiring some degree of secretiveness, at least until the conclusion of the operations.

Yoroi intimately understand this privacy need coming from many professionals and decided to empower Yomi of a game changing feature: the opportunity to choose to NOT share the analysis with the community, enabling its users to request private reports for the submitted samples. This means both sample and analysis report too will not be disclosed to the community. A feature many times not available in free tools.

There are many ways to track command & control servers from bad guys but they often rely on looking for indicators in the service metadata (ex. certificate information). Around a decade ago we developed a novel technique to proactively find the infrastructure: Malware Hunter. Malware Hunter finds command & control (C2) servers by pretending to be an infected Windows XP computer and sending the C2 handshake to every IP on the Internet. In other words, it tells every IP on the Internet that it's just been infected and is ready to join the botnet that the IP is managing. If the IP welcomes Malware Hunter as a new bot then we know that the IP is actually running a C2 and we add a malware tag to the banner. One of the interesting differences with this type of approach is that we're often able to identify C2s on residential networks before they go into "production" because we're proactively finding them on the Internet. Note that Malware Hunter doesn't send any malicious requests as it's pretending to be infected - all of its activity is benign.
