🔍 实验室准备与Volatility框架介绍

本段介绍了实验室的准备工作,包括创建工作文件夹、使用CSI工具(或类似的工具)进行内存分析。教授K将使用Volatility框架来分析一个感染了CryDex恶意软件的Windows XP机器的内存转储。首先,教授K指导如何在桌面创建一个名为'memdump'的文件夹,并展示了如何下载恶意软件样本和提取到指定文件夹。接着,通过终端启动Volatility框架,并使用'volatility -f'命令结合'imageinfo'插件来获取内存转储的详细信息,确定其来源。

05:01

📋 分析进程列表与识别可疑进程

在这一段中,教授K继续操作Volatility框架,使用'pslist'和'pstree'插件来查看Windows XP机器上运行的进程。他指出,虽然有些进程是正常的Windows操作系统功能,但有些如'explorer.exe'和未知的'reader_sl.exe'等进程需要特别注意。通过'psxview'插件,教授K检查是否有进程试图隐藏。虽然没有发现隐藏进程,但他通过'conscan'、'netscan'和'sockets'插件检查了运行中的套接字和开放的连接,发现了两个使用PID 1484的连接。

10:02

🔎 深入分析可疑进程与恶意软件确认

在这一部分,教授K通过命令行插件'cmdline'和内存转储插件'dump'来分析与'sreader_sl.exe'进程相关联的命令。他发现'explorer.exe'与'reader_sl.exe'有关联,并通过'strings'命令进一步分析了该进程的内存内容,揭示了该进程试图通过POST请求将信息发送到IP地址41.168.5.140。为了确认'sreader_sl.exe'是否为恶意软件,教授K建议使用在线服务如VirusTotal进行检测。结果显示,32个病毒扫描器中的72个将其识别为恶意软件。

15:03

🛠️ 恶意软件启动机制分析与解决方案

最后一段中,教授K探讨了如何通过分析注册表来确定恶意软件的启动机制。他使用'hivelist'插件列出了目标机器上的注册表蜂巢,并通过'-k'参数查看了启动时运行的键值。他发现了'kb0020787.exe'在启动时被注册表指定运行,这可能是恶意软件重新加载的原因。通过进一步分析,教授K确认了'kb0020787.exe'与PID 1640的进程有关联,揭示了恶意软件如何每次启动时重新加载。他总结了如何从受感染的机器上删除此恶意软件,并结束了这段关于使用Volatility框架进行内存分析的视频演示。

greetings i'm professor k and in this

00:03

short video presentation

00:04

we'll be doing a memory analysis using

00:07

the

00:07

volatility framework and in this lab we

00:11

will use the volatility framework to

00:13

analyze a memory dump captured

00:15

from a windows xp machine infected with

00:17

malware known as crydex

00:19

for this lab demonstration i will be

00:21

using csi lining so cali linings could

00:24

also be used

00:25

the steps in the lab are the same

00:27

regardless

00:29

so the first thing we want to do is just

00:30

go ahead and make a folder that we can

00:32

work in

00:33

to do this i'm just going to right click

00:35

on my desktop here i'm going to select

00:36

create folder and i'm going to call this

00:39

memdump

00:40

just like that go ahead and create leave

00:43

that there

00:44

and let's go on up to our linings quick

00:46

launch

00:47

and from here we're going to launch our

00:49

web browser in the address bar

00:51

i'm going to input the address for the

00:54

open source location for different

00:56

memory samples go ahead and hit enter

01:00

now once you're on the site just scroll

01:02

on down until you come to

01:04

the option to download the malware

01:07

cridex

01:08

sample let's go ahead and double click

01:10

it

01:11

and it downloads very quickly the next

01:14

thing you want to do is just go on over

01:15

here to your preferences

01:16

open that up and from your preferences

01:19

select

01:20

to view your downloads and from your

01:23

downloads

01:24

you're going to see that you have

01:25

downloaded the memory dump

01:28

but we need to go ahead and keep it so

01:31

go ahead and select that option to keep

01:33

then it's going to ask you one more time

01:35

you're going to say keep anyway

01:37

and now you can show in folder now once

01:40

you have

01:41

the memory dump in the download folder

01:44

available to you just right click on it

01:46

and from the context menu you're going

01:48

to select the option to

01:50

extract to from here you're going to

01:52

select the location for your desktop

01:55

and then from there you're going to

01:56

select the location for that new

01:58

directory we've created

02:00

called memdump just go ahead and double

02:01

click that or open it up

02:04

and then scroll on down over here to the

02:06

bottom right and click on the button

02:07

that says extract

02:09

once you've done that you can close out

02:11

everything return to your desktop

02:13

now what you can do is right click on

02:16

that directory we created

02:17

earlier called memdumps just right click

02:20

on it and you're going to select open

02:22

terminal here let's go ahead and make

02:25

that full screen

02:26

to launch our volatility framework at

02:29

the prompt i'm just going to type in

02:31

the letters v o l

02:34

and then i'm going to hit my tab key one

02:36

time

02:37

and that's going to give me the options

02:40

that i can choose from

02:42

that are available to me to complete the

02:45

spelling of the tool that i need to

02:47

access

02:47

in this case is volatility so now i'm

02:50

just going to add an

02:50

a and now i'm going to press tab one

02:53

more time

02:54

and the command is completed once i have

02:58

the name for

02:58

volatility at the prompt i'm just going

03:01

to

03:02

finish off the command by pasting the

03:04

following

03:05

dash f which stands for use the

03:07

following file

03:08

and the file i want to use is critex.vm

03:13

and space image info so we want to get

03:16

as much information about this memory

03:18

dump that we're going to analyze as we

03:20

possibly can

03:22

in this case i want to establish where

03:24

the memory dump came from

03:25

and any other information i can have

03:28

that will help fill out

03:29

the profile i'm going to go ahead and

03:31

hit enter

03:33

and in just a moment it comes back with

03:35

the

03:36

determination of the profile from which

03:39

our memory dump came from now in this

03:42

case

03:42

we're looking at a windows xp machine

03:45

with service pack

03:46

2. so for most of the remainder of the

03:49

lab

03:50

i will be just bringing up the previous

03:53

command

03:54

with my up arrow and i will be putting

03:57

in another plug-in

03:58

image info for example is a plug-in that

04:01

is used with

04:03

the volatility framework and that's what

04:06

we're going to be replacing as we go

04:08

through this lab

04:08

is the plugin so i've got my command

04:12

all established here and i've typed in a

04:14

volatility

04:15

again dash f for use the following file

04:18

but i've also added the profile and so i

04:21

want the profile

04:23

that is going to be used against this

04:25

memory dump

04:26

so that it can find the information that

04:28

we're looking for

04:30

so i've typed in dash dash profile

04:32

equals

04:33

that's just the name of the profile that

04:36

volatility believes belongs to our

04:39

memory dump

04:40

give it a space and the first thing we

04:42

want to look at is the process list

04:44

so i've typed in ps list go ahead and

04:47

hit enter

04:49

and so you can see at the time that this

04:50

memory dump was captured

04:52

all the processes that were running on

04:54

this windows xp machine

04:56

and as you scroll through this list of

04:58

processes you have to be aware

05:00

of any that catch your attention some of

05:03

these are just going to be normal

05:05

processes that are going to run

05:07

and that's just the way windows

05:10

operating system

05:11

functions but when we see processes that

05:14

are running such as explorer

05:16

and an unknown processor called

05:19

readerunderscoresl.exe

05:21

these are the processes that you need to

05:25

give your attention to i've cleared my

05:28

screen

05:29

and another plug-in that we can use to

05:32

view the processes running on our

05:33

windows xp

05:34

machine is ps tree

05:38

go ahead and run that real quick now

05:41

you'll notice

05:41

there's something peculiar here and you

05:44

gotta take a look at it

05:45

is it's that this root process

05:48

right here for explorer has another

05:51

process

05:52

running just beneath it called the

05:54

reader underscore sl.exe

05:57

let's go ahead and clear our screen one

06:00

way we can determine if something may be

06:02

malicious on our computer when we're

06:04

doing this memory scan

06:06

is to see if there's any processes that

06:08

are

06:09

currently trying to hide so to do this

06:11

i've typed in

06:12

p s x view and this will show us any

06:16

processes

06:17

that are trying to hide and not be

06:19

discovered

06:21

now we have to look at the first two

06:23

columns the ps list

06:25

and the ps scan if any of those register

06:28

as false then that process is attempting

06:32

to hide

06:33

in our case we don't see anything that

06:36

tells us

06:37

that any process is currently trying to

06:39

hide from our view

06:41

i'm going to go ahead and clear my

06:42

screen now that we have identified our

06:44

running processes

06:46

we can next check for any running

06:47

sockets and open connections

06:50

to do this we will call upon three

06:52

different volatility plug-ins

06:54

conscan netscan and sockets now the

06:57

first plugin we're going to run

06:59

is the con scan go ahead and hit enter

07:01

with that

07:02

give it a moment and it comes up and it

07:05

tells us

07:05

that during this processing of capturing

07:08

this memory dump

07:10

there were two connections that were

07:12

currently running

07:13

using the pid of 1484.

07:16

we next want to look at any running

07:18

sockets that are currently available

07:20

during the capture of this memory dump

07:22

so i've just replaced the

07:24

plug-in con scan with the plug-in

07:27

sockets i'm going to go ahead and hit

07:29

enter

07:30

and it comes back and it shows us all of

07:33

the sockets that are currently running

07:35

and what process id is currently

07:38

involved

07:39

and so what draws our attention here to

07:41

the sockets is

07:42

the one that is using process id of 1484

07:47

running on port 1038 using tcp

07:51

we can attempt to run the netscan module

07:54

against this memory dump but the problem

07:57

we're going to run into

07:58

is that this profile is too new

08:02

and the memory dump is probably too old

08:04

and therefore it probably won't work

08:08

and it comes back that this command does

08:10

not support the profile

08:12

of a windows xp machine running service

08:14

pack 2.

08:16

let's go ahead and clear our screen and

08:19

now we're going to switch on over to

08:20

three other plug-ins

08:22

that we need to run across this memory

08:24

dump and the first one is going to be

08:26

command line we want to see what

08:28

commands were ran from the cli

08:30

on this particular memory dump so let's

08:33

take a look at that real quick

08:35

so far we know that the explorer.exe

08:38

with a process id of

08:40

1484 we see that right here in the

08:42

command line

08:44

is directly associated with the

08:47

process id 1640 which is running the

08:51

reader underscore sl.exe program

08:54

and we see that here so now that we have

08:58

identified a link between explorer.exe

09:01

and the readerunderscoresl.exe

09:04

and how they are associated with each

09:05

other and now that we have

09:08

the complete path for how these two

09:11

programs are

09:12

actually being brand we're starting to

09:15

look at this readerunderscoreasl.exe

09:17

with a little bit more scrutiny

09:20

so let's go ahead and clear our screen

09:22

using the following command i'm able to

09:25

dump out the memory area that runs this

09:28

executable

09:30

up inside of this memory dump and we can

09:32

take a closer look at

09:34

exactly what's going on behind this

09:37

process

09:38

of 1640 running the reader underscore

09:41

sl exe executable now what i'm telling

09:45

it here to do is to dump out that part

09:47

of the process

09:48

from the memory dump and put it into the

09:51

root directory that's what the period

09:53

does

09:54

and so this first command we created a

09:56

dump of the executable

09:59

called 1640 for lack of a better term

10:02

and we now have that up inside of our

10:04

root folder

10:06

we next need to look at the addressable

10:07

memory that was being utilized

10:10

by the executable so in this example

10:13

what we're doing is we're pulling out

10:15

all the available information we can

10:18

about the process id 1640 that is

10:21

running

10:22

and is associated with that executable

10:26

readerunderscoresl.exe

10:29

go ahead and hit enter and so now we're

10:32

hoping that we'll be able to look

10:34

closer at what was going on inside of

10:38

the

10:38

memory where this reader underscore

10:41

asl.exe

10:43

was running now to do this we're going

10:45

to use a strings command

10:47

that is pretty common inside of linings

10:51

so i've typed in the following command

10:53

strings

10:54

space the name of the file 1640.dmp

10:59

and that's the dump file that we just

11:00

created

11:02

whoops i gotta take out that dollar sign

11:04

let me use my up arrow

11:05

and let's get rid of that all right

11:08

let's get back up here to the front

11:10

and we're gonna hit enter we use the

11:13

correct command combined with the dash

11:16

capital c followed by the number to get

11:19

the previous and next lines

11:21

thus giving us more context for the

11:23

information that was found

11:25

here we can clearly see that the

11:27

executable readerunderscoresl.exe

11:30

is communicating towards the destination

11:32

ip address

11:34

of 41.168.5.140

11:38

using post request potentially

11:40

exfiltrating

11:42

information from the victim's computer

11:44

now this memory dump that we created for

11:46

process id 1640

11:48

has a lot of information going on inside

11:50

of it so

11:51

we're going to have to go through it one

11:53

page at a time

11:54

now to do this we can also use the

11:57

strings command

11:58

and we're going to tell it what dump or

12:00

what file we want to look at and we're

12:02

going to give it a space a pipe

12:04

and then we're going to use the less

12:05

command when we use the less command

12:07

we're saying

12:08

show me the information one page at a

12:11

time

12:12

so we're going to go ahead and hit enter

12:14

and we can scroll through this

12:15

information one page at a time just by

12:17

using our space bar

12:19

on our keyboard so there's another page

12:21

there's another page

12:22

and we come down to this long list of

12:24

banking urls

12:26

so we've got a lot of suspicions going

12:28

on here about this reader underscore

12:30

asl.exe

12:31

but we need to confirm our suspicions by

12:34

seeing if this is actually a piece of

12:36

malware

12:37

now to do this we could either reverse

12:39

engineer

12:40

the executable which none of us have the

12:43

expertise to do

12:44

or we can just use an online website

12:47

such as virustotal

12:48

to examine it for us and give us back

12:50

the information we're

12:52

seeking so let's just go ahead and

12:54

minimize our terminal

12:55

and now we're going to go over here to

12:57

our lining quick launch and we're going

12:59

to launch a web browser

13:01

in the address bar of our browser we're

13:03

just going to tell it to go to

13:04

virustotal.com

13:06

and we're going to hit enter and once

13:08

we're out here at the virustotal.com

13:10

site we're just going to make sure that

13:11

we've got files selected

13:13

and then we're going to use the upload

13:15

option so go ahead and

13:16

click on the upload option click on your

13:19

desktop

13:21

make sure you go into your working

13:23

folder which is memdumps

13:25

and find that executable that we created

13:28

from our memory dump and that was

13:31

executable.1640.exe

13:33

just go ahead and double click it and in

13:35

just a moment it comes back and it tells

13:37

you

13:38

that 32 out of 72 virus scanners

13:42

found this to be malicious so we have

13:44

determined that the executable

13:46

reader underscore sl.exe is a piece of

13:49

malware

13:50

but what's launching it that's the trick

13:53

so now we're going to delve into the

13:55

registry and see if we can find out

13:57

how this is being launched at startup

14:00

let's go ahead and close out our browser

14:02

let's stream back up our terminal now to

14:05

get out of here all i have to do is just

14:08

press q for quit and i'm back to my

14:10

prompt

14:12

so most malware will look to see if the

14:14

infected files are still present

14:16

at every system startup sophisticated

14:19

malware will also communicate

14:21

with the executable every few minutes to

14:23

ensure that it is still present

14:24

and it has not been removed if it has

14:27

been removed they will

14:28

rebuild the executable but this time

14:31

often they'll use a different name

14:33

if you remove the executable without

14:35

removing the payload that rebuilds it

14:38

each time it is cleaned from the machine

14:40

you just keep going in circles granted

14:43

oftentimes

14:44

you can find a virus scanner that will

14:46

find the executable and will remove it

14:50

but if it can't find it at startup

14:53

and remove the actual payload that is

14:55

regenerating

14:56

the executable then each and every time

15:00

you launch that machine at startup

15:03

it's going to rebuild or replace that

15:06

deleted malware that you took care of

15:09

with your virus scanner

15:11

so to see what registry hives are

15:13

present on our target machine that we're

15:15

pulling this memory dump from

15:17

we can use the hive list plugin go ahead

15:20

and hit enter

15:21

and now we have our registry hives but

15:24

what we need to find

15:25

is what is hiding in one of the keys

15:27

that is running as an executable at

15:30

startup

15:31

so that we can see what is actually

15:33

launching that reader underscore sl

15:36

dot exe all right let's go ahead and

15:38

clear our terminal

15:40

and this next command that we're going

15:42

to run is going to allow us to look at a

15:43

specific key

15:45

and we get that with the dash k switch

15:49

and up inside of here we're going to

15:51

look for what is

15:52

running at startup so we're looking at

15:54

the software

15:56

microsoft windows current version run

16:00

key that's the one we want to analyze so

16:02

i'm going to go ahead and hit enter

16:05

so you got to take a look at what's

16:06

actually running at startup

16:09

if it's a system service well that's

16:11

normal

16:12

but if it's launching an executable that

16:15

may not be normal

16:16

so you got to take a closer look at that

16:18

now to do this we're going to scroll on

16:20

down through the hives here

16:21

and see if we can find anything that's

16:23

going to give us some information about

16:25

who or what may be launching this

16:28

executable

16:30

and here we see a kb0020787.exe

16:35

that is being launched at startup under

16:38

the profile of someone named robert

16:41

and we see that this is up inside of the

16:43

application data

16:44

that's where it's located and the

16:46

registry is telling it

16:48

to launch this at each startup there's

16:50

our culprit right there

16:52

let's go ahead and clear the screen now

16:54

what we have to do

16:56

is see if there's any association with

16:58

that kb

16:59

executable that we just discovered and

17:02

our running process

17:04

of 1640. if there's a link between the

17:07

two

17:08

then we know we have found what is

17:11

actually

17:12

reloading that malware every time we

17:14

delete it

17:16

we're going to pull this information out

17:18

of the memory dump that we created

17:20

for the process of 1640. so if anything

17:24

is found

17:25

in regard to that kb executable inside

17:28

of the 1640

17:30

well then there's our link and rather

17:32

quickly we're shown that the executable

17:39

kb00207877.exe

17:40

is directly associated with the process

17:43

id of 1640.

17:45

so we're pretty certain now that the

17:46

krydx malware

17:48

modified the startup registry to include

17:51

the launching of this executable each

17:53

time the machine started up

17:55

this should tell us how we can delete

17:58

this

17:58

executable this malware from the user's

18:01

machine or any machine on the network

18:03

that is currently infected

18:05

with crydex

18:08

and so that's going to conclude this

18:09

short video presentation on how we go

18:11

about performing

18:12

memory analysis using the volatility

18:15

framework

18:16

you got questions you got concerns don't

18:18

hesitate to reach out and contact your

18:20

instructor and i'll see you in my next
