It looks packed with Armadillo (see the comment below for this detection/judgement). Also the usage of crypter traces is detected in the binary. So, for the better analysis purpose, be sure to unpack it first. @Xylit0l is kind to provide a video for manual analysis and unpacking w/OllyDbg + PUPE below (enlarge it to see the details) After reversing some codes you'll find the dangerous operations below:push offset PathName ; lpFilename push 0 ; lpModuleName call ds:GetModuleHandleA push eax ; hModule call ds:GetModuleFileNameA push 1036640h ; dwBytes push 0 ; dwFlags : LPSTR GetCommandLineA(void) extrn GetCommandLineA:dword ; DATA XREF: start:loc_40128B : .idata:00406038 ; BOOL __stdcall WriteFile(HANDLE hFile,LPCVOID lpBuffer,DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite,LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten, LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped) .idata:00406038 extrn WriteFile:dword ; DATA XREF: __NMSG_WRITE+155 : ; Microsoft VisualC 2-8/net runtime ; Attributes: library function unknown_libname_1 proc near arg_0= dword ptr 4 push offset ModuleName ; "mscoree.dll" call ds:GetModuleHandleA test eax, eax jz short loc_401380It was enough to tell us that it writes file, it executes foreign code, and it shows serious internet activities.Behavior analysis
The next step is to test it, we did it as per below steps.. We just run it... The sample was self deleted saved into different location + it runs evil SVCHOST: Well let's see what this SVCHOST does, by monitoring its activity. Windows task manager provided enough facilities for this purpose: ↑you can see so many SMTP connections made by this binary. Then what exactly these SMTP connection does? What malicious act? We captured everything with reghot, wireshark & memory dump inside the testPC, outside the box w/tcpdump to study this malware malicious acts.What's the malware's malicious file operation?

But not only that, it tried to access your PC via TCP/1053 a remote protocol for the remote controls. Thus, as a bonus it sends you additional malicious code. Practically it uses your PC as a remote spam relay traffic, those spam emails will be relayed into your nearest mail server if exist, or will use other mail servers to relay the spam. Evil enough isn't it? (again, see the text report in the dropbox url above for the details)Malware Detection Reference Analysis
