A variable numerical value is used instead of %number% . In order to be executed on every system start, the trojan sets the following Registry entries:

  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\­SOFTWARE\­Microsoft\­Windows\­CurrentVersion\­Run]
    • "%variable%" = "%malwarefolder%\­tasksche.exe"

The trojan may set the following Registry entries:

  • [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\­SOFTWARE\­Microsoft\­Windows\­CurrentVersion\­Run]
    • "%variable%" = "%malwarefolder%\­tasksche.exe"

The following Registry entries are created:

  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\­SOFTWARE\­WanaCrypt0r]
    • "wd" = "%malwarefolder%"
  • [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\­Control Panel\­Desktop
    • "Wallpaper" = "%malwarefolder%\­@WanaDecryptor@.bmp"
