Short description
Win32/Filecoder.B is a trojan which deletes files with specific file extensions.
Installation
The trojan does not create any copies of itself.
The trojan creates the following folders:
- c:\vsworkdir\
The following files are dropped into the c:\vsworkdir\ folder:
- CSCA1.DLL (3072 B)
- shantazh.jpg (90780 B)
The following Registry entries are created:
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
- "ConvertedWallpaper" = "c:\vsworkdir\shantazh.jpg"
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ConvertedWallpaper]
- "Last WriteTime" = "%hex_value%"
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
- "Pattern" = ""
Payload information
The trojan searches local drives for files with the following file extensions:
- .3gp
- .7z
- .doc
- .eml
- .htm
- .html
- .jpeg
- .jpg
- .php
- .rar
- .rtf
- .txt
- .xls
- .zip
When the trojan finds a file matching the search criteria, it creates its duplicate.
The file name and extension of the newly created file is derived from the original one. An additional ".vscrypt" extension is appended.
The trojan encrypts the file content.
The trojan then deletes found files.
