EverSec + Cyphort: Big Trends in CybersecurityCyphort
Advanced threats are changing so often it is getting harder and harder to keep up! In addition to new attacks, hackers are reinventing older ones, making it even more difficult to detect. In this webinar, we will discuss at a high-level some of biggest cybersecurity threats happening right now, including:
--The Resurgence of Ransomware - Locky and other new cryptolockers
--Malvertising, oh My! - No website is safe from unknowingly spreading malware to visitors
--I have RATs - How to defend against Remote Access Trojans stealing your data
Malware's Most Wanted: Malvertising Attacks on Huffingtonpost, Yahoo, AOLCyphort
Malvertising Attacks on Huffingtonpost, Yahoo, AOL
Cyphort Labs has reported an uptick in drive-by-infection through malvertising in 2014 and sounded alarms for the web property owners regarding this emerging trend. We believe that this trend presents a significant cybersecurity challenge in 2015. In this session, we will discuss this increasing trend of drive-by attacks by dissecting examples of recent web infections, as well as share observed, sophisticated behavior of modern exploit pack and the challenges for research and discovery. As we present exploit kit information, trends and statistics from research derived from our Cyphort Crawler, you will gain an awareness and an understanding of these malvertising threats to better protect your site visitors from malware infection.
Understanding Malware Lateral Spread Used in High Value AttacksCyphort
APTs are known to use advanced Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP), including advanced malware design with protection layers, sandboxing evasion, and lateral movement inside penetrated networks to seek out high value targets. In this webinar, Nick Bilogorskiy of Cyphort Labs will review various lateral movement techniques and methods used by advanced threats in the past. He will look at some APT samples, e.g. Shamoon, in detail to show the specific steps in the lateral movement by the malware. Understanding the lateral movement of APT should help security defenders to better select and implement protection solutions.
Malware's Most Wanted: Linux and Internet of Things MalwareCyphort
Marion Marschalek speaks about Linux and Internet of things Malware.
Occasionally we see samples coming out of our pipe which do not fit with the stream of malware, such as clickjackers, banking Trojans and spybots. These exotic creatures are dedicated to target platforms other than the Windows operating system. While they make up for a significantly smaller portion than the load of Windows malware, Cyphort labs has registered a rise in Linux and Internet of Things Malware (IoT) malware. A number of different families has been seen. But what is their level of sophistication and the associated risk? This webinar provides an overview of Linux and IoT malware that Cyphort labs has spotted in the wild and gives an insight into the development of these threats and the direction they are taking.
Banking or Financial Trojans are already notorious because they have been around for a while, and they count both consumers and financial institutions among their victims. To help better defend against this class of malware, we share analyses of some recent families of financial Trojans. Nick Bilogorskiy, Cyphort's Director of Security Research, looks at the specific characteristics associated with a financial Trojan in terms of distribution channel, armoring behavior, attack payload, actors, etc in this presentation.
Cyphort Labs has come across a sophisticated malware sample, dubbed Evil Bunny, which tricks sandboxes and shows rather uncommon deception traits to evade detection. Marion Marschalek, Security Researcher of Cyphort Labs, will dissect this evil, yet fascinating, malware called EvilBunny Malware Dropper. We will examine how it attempts to evade detection from AV and sandboxing, how it drops the payload, and how it persists and deletes itself.

Stranger Danger: Securing Third Party Components (Tech2020)Guy Podjarny
Building software today involves more assembly than actual coding. Much of our code is in fact pulled in open source packages, and the applications heavily rely on surrounding third party binaries. These third parties make us more productive - but they also introduce an enormous risk. Each third party component is a potential source of vulnerabilities or malicious code, each third party service a potential door into our system.
This talk contains more information about this risk, create a framework for digesting and tackling it, and lists a myriad of tools that can help.
The EternalBlue Exploit: how it works and affects systemsAndrea Bissoli
The purpose of this report is to focus on one particular aspect of a WannayCry malware in order to understand which vulnerability it ex- ploited and how it is spread into the internet. In the report it will be shown EternalBlue attack and how it is possible to take the pc control thanks to DoublePulsar attack and Meterpreter session. Than it is shown a study case in which it is performed a pivoting attack. In the end it is injected simple keyloggers in the machines attacked in order to take some useful informations.
Malware's Most Wanted: CryptoLocker—The Ransomware TrojanCyphort
The document discusses the Cryptolocker ransomware. It provides an overview of Cryptolocker, including its history and evolution since 2013. It describes how Cryptolocker encrypts files, communicates with command and control servers, and demands ransom payments in Bitcoin. The document analyzes Cryptolocker's techniques and attributes it to a cybercriminal group based in Russia. It also covers the emergence of related ransomware such as Cryptodefense and Simplelocker on Android.
Even for a larger incident response team handling all of the repetitive tasks related to malware infections is a tedious task. Our malware analysts have spent a lot of time chasing digital forensics from potentially infected Mac OS X systems, leveraging open source tools, like OSXCollector. Early on, we have automated some part of the analysis process, augmenting the initial set of digital forensics collected from the machines with the information gathered from the threat intelligence APIs. They helped us with additional information on potentially suspicious domains, URLs and file hashes. But our approach to the analysis still required a certain degree of configuration and manual maintenance that was consuming lots of attention from malware responders.
Enter automation: turning all of your repetitive tasks in a scripted way that will help you deal faster with the incident discovery, forensic collection and analysis, with fewer possibilities to make a mistake. We went ahead and turned OSXCollector toolkit into AMIRA: Automated Malware Incident Response and Analysis service. AMIRA turns the forensic information gathered by OSXCollector into actionable response plan, suggesting the infection source as well as suspicious files and domains requiring a closer look. Furthermore, we integrated AMIRA with our incident response platform, making sure that as little interaction as necessary is required from the analyst to follow the investigation.
Thanks to that, the incident response team members can focus on what they excel at: finding unusual patterns and the novel ways that malware was trying to sneak into the corporate infrastructure.
The document summarizes the Wannacrypt + Smbv1.0 ransomware attack, one of the most damaging in history. It began on a Friday in May 2017, infecting over 216,000 machines worldwide in just one day by exploiting an SMB vulnerability. The ransomware used the EternalBlue exploit leaked from the ShadowBrokers to spread rapidly through networks. Microsoft had released a patch for the vulnerability in March 2017 but many systems remained unpatched. The attack was stopped when a researcher registered a domain name hard-coded in the ransomware. The document examines the technical details and impact of the attack, and recommends steps to prevent future ransomware infections like keeping systems updated with the latest security patches.
Malware's Most Wanted: How to tell BADware from adwareCyphort
How do you effectively deal with the ever-increasing amount of adware? Adware is annoying, but not all are created equal. At this MMW we look at growing landscape of adware and malware. We will discuss tools to give you behavior insights and ways to reveal the context of adware as it relates to your business.
Ransomware has evolved significantly since 2012, starting as police messages and becoming increasingly sophisticated with encryption and evasion techniques. Ransomware distributors now offer ransomware-as-a-service and use affiliate programs to spread malware via phishing emails and drive-by downloads. Victims' files are encrypted with strong encryption keys while private keys remain with criminal operators, who demand ransom payments in cryptocurrency. Effective defenses include education, backups, layered protection, network segmentation, and application control to limit the impact of ransomware attacks.
This document outlines a training presentation on OWASP Top 10 risks. It includes slides on defining threats against USPS, identifying the top three OWASP risks, recalling the remaining 2017 risks, and explaining each risk through definitions and video simulations. The training aims to help PCI employees prevent security breaches by understanding common attacks like injection, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure. It provides countermeasures for each risk and concludes with an assessment to test understanding.
Malware writers are well aware of sandboxing, a popular way to detect brand new unknown malware by its behavior, and make code that infects the intended victim but has no malicious behavior in a sandbox. This MMW webinar demos specific ways how malware detects and hides from sandboxes including environmental check, stalling code, sleeps, hook detection and click triggers.
This document provides an overview of anti-sandbox techniques used by malware. It begins with introductions and defines a sandbox. It then discusses how malware detects sandboxes through various methods like detecting virtualization, detecting the presence of a user, detecting hooks. Specific examples of malware using techniques like sleeps, timing attacks, disk identifiers, and instruction sets are presented. Popular anti-sandboxing techniques are identified as detecting virtual machines and delay loops. The document concludes with recommendations like hardening sandboxes and using multiple analysis techniques.
The document is a lab report analyzing worm propagation simulations. It includes summaries of 6 worms: Blaster, MyDoom, Netsky, Sasser, Slammer, and SoBig. For each worm simulation, the document analyzes infection rates and patterns in local and global networks over time. The fastest spreading worm was Slammer, while patched systems were less infected than vulnerable ones. Differences were observed between local and global infection rates.

CryptoLocker is a persistent, ubiquitous and ever advancing threat to your business’ Intellectual Property (IP) and customer data which requires professional skill and a high level of effort to prevent, detect and remediate.
The document discusses Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), which are sophisticated cyber attacks by hostile organizations aimed at gaining access to targeted information from governments, corporations, and individuals. APTs maintain a foothold in these environments to enable future access and control, and can modify data to disrupt performance. The document provides examples of how APTs use social engineering and malware delivered in emails or websites to infiltrate networks and maintain deep persistent access. It also discusses tools that APT actors use and specific cases like attacks targeting Tibetan groups.
Similar to MMW June 2016: The Rise and Fall of Angler (20)
This document discusses machine learning approaches for threat detection in cybersecurity. It begins with an overview of machine learning applications in security like malware detection and classification. It then covers the machine learning toolkit, emphasizing that data is the most important factor. It describes supervised learning techniques like regression and support vector machines. It also discusses challenges like the curse of dimensionality and separating sparse signals from noise in the data. The key takeaways are that machine learning can provide scalable threat detection when done correctly by focusing on relevant predictive data and understanding its limitations and algorithms.
This document discusses Marion Marschalek's background in software engineering and information security. It covers topics like the need for innovation in technology, challenges in the field, and characteristics of advanced persistent threats. The document encourages the reader to pursue their dreams and learn new skills despite perceived limitations. It concludes by stating Marion's three wishes if she could have any, which are focused on freedom of choice, thought, and secure systems.
This document discusses advanced persistent threats (APTs) and their evolution over time. It notes that early detection of threats was based on knowing binary signatures and behaviors, but APTs now use unique and regularly updated binaries, lack repetitive artifacts, are environmentally sensitive, use multiple persistence techniques, and employ consistent evasion methods to avoid detection. Examples of prominent APTs discussed include BlackEnergy, Havex, BlackPOS, and EvilBunny, which were able to successfully compromise millions of records by evolving their tactics.
Zeus is a Trojan horse malware that has infected tens of millions of computers worldwide. It functions by using a dropper to install a Zeus bot that communicates with a command and control server to steal banking credentials. Zeus has evolved over many versions since 2007 and employs techniques like steganography, rootkits, anti-debugging, and domain generation algorithms to avoid detection. Notable Zeus variants include Gameover Zeus attributed to Evgeniy Bogachev and JabberZeus linked to a criminal group in Ukraine.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Exploit kits are a main source of compromises today; they are one of the primary vehicles for both 0-day and widely effective, known vulnerabilities, offering a free pass to drop active malicious content (such as the banking trojan, Zeus) that embeds on the system giving cyberciminals a way into internal networks and ultimately leads to data exfiltration. Last year Websense has detected and blocked more than 66 million threats specifically with exploit kits, plus over 1 billion catches of later-stages, such as dropper file, C&C traffic (Call Home stage) that are commonly attributable to new exploit kit activity.As of January 2015, EKs delivered more than two-thirds of all malware observed by anti-malware software company Malwarebytes. Additionally, Malwarebytes reported that two billion mainstream website visitors were redirected to criminal servers in a one month period, and a single EK on a high-traffic site can infect 6,000 users within a half hour. The sustained success of these toolkits over the last several years, combined with user-friendly interfaces and low technical barriers, have made EKs an attractive option for profit-motivated cybercriminals. According to Microsoft, individual EKs can yield up to $50,000 in a single day for an attacker.

But First, let me introduce our team – Cyphort Labs.
We are a group of malware researchers in several countries who monitor malware and security trends daily, reverse engineer interesting malware samples and contribute to the Cyphort threat research. In addition our team deals with customer escalations -analyzing malware escalated by the support team, advising Cyphort engineering team on improving detection, and sharing threat intelligence on Cyphort Labs blog.

Exploit Kit is an easy-to-use toolkit for infecting computers over the web. It contains many exploits targeting the browsers or apps like Adobe Reader, Java or Flash Player. Exploit Kit can be fitted with any malware payload.
Simply a framework that uses exploits to take advantage of vulnerabilities
in browser-based applications to infect a client without user's knowledgeNowadays, Eploit Kits are services that you buy to promote your malware, you give the malware to the group and they drive the installs. Think of it as a Sales Team for your software.
The first recorded exploit kit attack could be traced back in 2006, which used the WebAttacker kit.This was the first exploit kit found in the Russian underground market. It came with technical support and was sold for US$20.
Currently, there are 70 different exploit kits in the wild that take advantage of more than a hundred vulnerabilities!Cybercrime-as-a-service is not new, and we’ve been talking about it for a while. Exploit kits such as Angler are sold in cybercriminal circles, for a good price.Sophos speculates that there may even be a “pay-per-install” payment model, where attackers are charged by Angler creators only for the successful malware infections.
To make the exploit kit even more appealing, its creators even preload it with vulnerabilities, making the kit ready to be deployed.
The authors of most EKs use Software as a Service (SaaS) as their business model. This model is also sometimes called Platform as a Service (PaaS), Malware as a Service (MaaS), or EK as a Service (EKaaS).
EKs are sold in the criminal underground, where the price for leading EKs is often a few thousand dollars per month. The EK owner provides the buyer a management console to oversee the rented EK servers, but the buyer must provide an attack infrastructure. As noted earlier, a distinct attack infrastructure combined with the EK is considered a campaign.

Exploit Kits scan yours system for vulnerable browser plugins and if found – run the exploit for it and silently install malware.A common misconception is that you must click on ads to get infected, which is sometimes true, but often not. Online ads appear to be an image hosted on the website, but they’re neither hosted on that website nor just an image. Ad networks, which are not under the control of the host website, decide which ad to send you, but often don’t actually deliver the ads. Instead, the ad networks instruct your browser to call a server designated by the advertiser. Also, ads often deliver files and entire programs to your browser. To infect you, HTML-based Javascript or Flash-based ActionScript covertly routes your browser to a different server that hosts an exploit kit. Flash is scary because it embeds sophisticated logic into the ad, which manipulates your browser as the ad is displayed. Ads can be instructed to only attack you and others at particular times and geographies. Some examples are delaying the attack until after the ad network examines and approves the ad; or until holidays, when it’s peak time for people to surf and off time for advertisers’ personnel to promptly remove offending ads.

and
email (ms office documents, and JS in ZIP)
- Phishing emails may contain malicious attachments. These attachments are not always delivered in executable form; as security vendors and security best practices dictate that receiving executables via email is, in general, something we want to prevent, threat actors have to adapt to the changing landscape. This can be done by indirect delivery mechanisms. In Windows, for example, a malicious actor may opt for a less direct method of delivery: embed an obfuscated Javascript file into an archive, and rely on the end user for the rest. Opening a .JS file on a Windows host will launch the default browser, and the Javascript can then reach out to an external URL to grab an executable, deliver it to the victim, and execute it. At this point, preventing users from receiving executables via email is no longer effective, as the executable is delivered via HTTP.
- Exploit kits (such as Angler, or Neutrino) have been known to deliver ransomware to users by exploiting vulnerable web servers and hosting malicious web scripts on them which exploit visitors when certain criteria are met, and then delivering a malicious payload (Reference)
Websites or web publishers unknowingly incorporate a corrupted or malicious advertisement into their page. Once the advertisement is in place, and visitors begin clicking on it, their computer can become infected: "the user clicks on the ad to visit the advertised site, and instead is directly infected or redirected to a malicious site. These sites trick users into copying viruses or spyware usually disguised as Flash files, which are very popular on the web." [8] Redirection is often built into online advertising, and this spread of malware is often successful because users expect a redirection to happen when clicking on an advertisement. A redirection that is taking place only needs to be co-opted in order to infect a user's computer.[1]
Malvertising often involves the exploitation of trustworthy companies. Those attempting to spread malware place "clean" advertisements on trustworthy sites first in order to gain a good reputation, then they later "insert a virus or spyware in the code behind the ad, and after a mass virus infection is produced, they remove the virus", thus infecting all visitors of the site during that time period. The identities of those responsible are often hard to trace, making it hard to prevent the attacks or stop them altogether, because the "ad network infrastructure is very complex with many linked connections between ads and click-through destinations." [8]Malvertising is popular because compromising websites that have high traffic is very effective for malware distrubtion. And because attacking these sites ad networks is easier and requires less efforts thatn finding a vulnerability in the site software.
Infected site is the beginning of the chain – it’s the popular website that has the malvertising on it.
Payload site is the end of the chain – the site that the malware payload is hosted on. This site is usually compromised.
I now present some stats about the geographic distribution of both infected sites and payload sites that we discovered.
We see groups behind Exploit kits like Angler constantly update and mutate their kits adding new techniques to avoid detection. For instance in February of this year - they tweaked the way Angler detects the presence of antivirus software on the machine. If it detects Antivirus - it does not trigger.
In addition, on July 5 italian company Hacking team was hacked, with more than 400 GB of confidential company data released. In that archive there were multiple zero day exploits, which were very quickly integrated into Angler and Nuclear exploit packs (CVE-2015-5123, CVE-2015-5122, CVE-2015-5119).
It has been used in such high-impact campaigns as the AskMen compromise, and used by the APT group behind Operation Windigo. Nuclear Pack has a wide range of attacks in its repertoire, including Flash, Silverlight, PDF, and Internet Explorer exploits, and it is capable of dropping any malware
During the period in which researchers had access to the Nuclear exploit kit infrastructure, they say that over 1,846,678 users accessed the landing pages.
Taking into account that on average 9.95 percent of all users who visit an exploit kit landing page get infected, researchers estimate that Nuclear managed to infect 184,568 computers.
Crooks delivered 144,478 ransomware payloads, 54,403 banking trojans, 193 click fraud bots, and 172 rootkits. Over 110,000 of the ransomware infections were with Locky. Taking into account Locky's standard ransom price of 0.5 BitCoin, or $230, the crooks who rented the Nuclear EK made $12,650,000 (€11,182,000).

Angler exploit kit, which very quickly succeeded the Blacole exploit kit after the latter’s creator was arrested in late 2013. Angler is even more powerful and prevalent than
Blacole. And because Angler is simple to use and widely
available through online dark markets, it has become a
preferred method to transport malware.n 2014, it was the second most used exploit kit according to the 2015 Trustwave Global Security Report. It accounted for 17% of infections, while Nuclear, the top used exploit kit, generated 23% of infections.
What’s more, according to Cisco’s Midyear Security Report, in 2015, Angler accounted for 40% of user penetration in the cyber attacks observed so far.
Angler is one of the most sophisticated EKs used by cybercriminals today and was first observed in 2013. Angler uses malvertising to direct users to its servers, and is known to exploit Adobe Flash Player, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Silverlight, Java, and ActiveX. Angler infects users with ransomware and point-of-sale (PoS) malware. It uses various techniques to defeat traditional detection methods including unique obfuscation, antivirus and virtualization software detection, encrypted payload, and fileless infections. Angler is also very quick at integrating new zero-day exploits in its kit, specifically targeting vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player.
According to Palo Alto Networks, as of January 2016, Angler EK has infected more than 90,000 websites, 30 of these are among the 100,000 most visited sites, estimating monthly visits to infected sites may be as high as 11 million. Angler has added many new servers as part of its distribution network, delivering drive-by attacks through infected websites. On 28 July 2015, security researchers warned that a malvertising campaign potentially exposed over 10 million users to the Angler EK.
Angler is the one of the top exploit kits infecting victims with various ransomware variants. In December 2015, Heimdel Security noted Angler was distributing CryptoWall 4.0 ransomware. In March 2016, Angler was dropping the new ransomware variant HydraCrypt. And in April 2016, Angler was discovered pushing Bedep and Dridex malware, and CryptXXX ransomware. CryptXXX was added to Angler functionality within week of the first reporting on the ransomware this year.
To evade reputation filtering it switches hostnames and IP numbers rapidly, as well as using domain shadowing to piggyback on legitimate domains. To evade content detection, the components involved in Angler are dynamically generated for each potential victim, using a variety of encoding and encryption techniques. Finally, Angler uses obfuscation and anti-sandbox tricks to frustrate the collection and analysis of samples.
What’s more, Angler can deliver “fileless” infections, which means that, throughout the process, not a single file will be downloaded by the attackers into your PC. Traditional antivirus products scan your files to detect malware infections. But if there’s no file to scan, then it just concludes that there’s no infection either.
Another factor that contributes to Angler’s success is that the encrypted payload it uses. The payload represents the attacker’s commands. In order for antivirus to block the infection, it has to first decrypt the payload. Then it has to analyze it, quarantine it and then delete it.
A typical Angler exploit kit landing page is highly obfuscated to make reverse engineering difficult and challenging for threat researchers. It also includes junk contents in the code to evade detection. The following image shows a landing page that contains the exploit code.
The encrypted content is stored in the html tag, which defines a paragraph and also supports global attributes. The encrypted content is stored inside multiple
tags on the landing page. The landing page script used to decrypt the content inside the
tag is scrambled and compressed with no proper format. Random variables, split strings, and garbage functions make detection difficult.
Lurk had dedicated virus writers, QA team,
payment specialists and withdrawing to cash specialists.
Kaspersky Lab experts and Sberbank, one of Russia’s largest banks, worked closely with Russian Law Enforcement Agencies in an investigation into the Lurk gang that has now resulted in the arrest of 50 people. Those detained are suspected of involvement in the creation of infected computers networks that resulted in the theft of more than 45 million dollars (3 billion rubles1) from banks, other financial institutions and businesses since 2011. This is the largest ever arrest of hackers to have taken place in Russia.
Dmitry “Paunch” Fedotov was sentenced on April 12 to seven years in a Russian penal colony. In October 2013, the then 27-year-old Fedotov was arrested along with an entire team of other cybercriminals who worked to sell, develop and profit from Blackhole.
According to Russian security firm Group-IB, Paunch had more than 1,000 customers and was earning $50,000 per month from his illegal activity. The image at right shows Paunch standing in front of his personal car, a Porsche Cayenne.
First spotted in 2010, BlackHole is commercial crimeware designed to be stitched into hacked or malicious sites and exploit a variety of Web-browser vulnerabilities for the purposes of installing malware of the customer’s choosing.
The price of renting the kit ran from $500 to $700 each month. For an extra $50 a month, Paunch also rented customers “crypting” services; cryptors are designed to obfuscate malicious software so that it remains undetectable by antivirus software.
Paunch worked with several other cybercriminals to purchase new exploits and security vulnerabilities that could be rolled into Blackhole and help increase the success of the software. He eventually sought to buy the exploits from other cybercrooks directly to fund a pricier ($10,000/month) and more exclusive exploit pack called “Cool Exploit Kit.”

After Nuclear and Angler shut down, the exploit kit market has been dominated by the Neutrino EK, followed by Magnitude, RIG, and Sundown.As for Angler's rivals, Kaffeine says that Neutrino just doubled its price on the underground market, going from $3,500 per month to $7,000, while also dropping the weekly rental option.
It appears that Angler's rivals are trying to capitalize on the void created on the market after Angler's apparent disappearance. This is somewhat reminiscent of the way Neutrino's authors reacted after the author of the Blackhole exploit kit was arrested in 2013.
At the start of June, Russian authorities announced their largest cybercrime bust in history, during which they arrested 50 people and detained 18.
Russian authorities revealed that the crooks they arrested were involved in the creation of the Lurk trojan. Kaffeine says that, between 2012 and the start of 2016, the Lurk trojan was distributed via the Angler EK.
Malwarebytes, Kaffeine, and Brad Duncan report that the last instance of the Angler EK used in a live malvertising campaign was recorded on June 7. Previously, the Nuclear EK also disappeared without a trace around April 30.
Angler is a very versatile exploit kit. Cyber criminals can instruct the kit to:
install malware (financial – Tinba, Vawtrak, ransomware – CryptoWall, Teslacrypt, Torrentlocker)
collect confidential data (usernames, passwords, card details, etc.) and upload it to the servers they control
or tie the infected system into a botnet (a “zombie army” of computers used to deliver additional attacks).
What’s more, Angler can deliver “fileless” infections, which means that, throughout the process, not a single file will be downloaded by the attackers into your PC. Traditional antivirus products scan your files to detect malware infections. But if there’s no file to scan, then it just concludes that there’s no infection either.
Another factor that contributes to Angler’s success is that the encrypted payload it uses. The payload represents the attacker’s commands. In order for antivirus to block the infection, it has to first decrypt the payload. Then it has to analyze it, quarantine it and then delete it.
