Hello and welcome to the Friday, November 10th, 2020, edition of the Sansonet Stormer's Stormcast.

0:08.1

My name is Johannes Ulrich, and I'm recording from Jacksonville, Florida.

Nice educational diary today from Xavier.

0:17.1

Xavier is talking about code injection techniques and, well, how to visualize some of

0:24.3

these and how they sort of manifest themselves on your window system. Code injection refers to

0:31.8

a normal good process being manipulated, part of the code in memory being overwritten with malicious

0:39.2

code while the software is suspended. And yes, this is something, as Xavier points out,

0:47.3

that's specifically supported by Microsoft APIs. So it's as a result relatively straightforward to do. Well, Xavier is looking at a

0:59.2

specific sample here and this was a phishing email with an executable, it was attached as a SIP file

1:07.1

that then took advantage of this technique to inject itself. Savier visualized what

1:13.7

happened here to the particular process, sound volume.exe, with prock dot. If you're not familiar with

1:22.0

dot, dot, it's actually sort of a language to describe graphs like this and then draw pictures. It can also be used for flow diagrams.

1:31.1

I've seen it also being used like for network diagrams. But in this case, it's used to kind of

1:37.4

illustrate what is happening to these processes where the actual malicious code is injected.

1:45.4

So if you are doing malvernalysis, if you're trying to better understand these techniques,

1:50.7

take a look at the full diary by Xavier.

1:55.1

And looks like the Klopp ransomer gang moved on from exploiting MoVit systems to now going after

2:04.9

CIS aid. CIS8 has published a blog post explaining that they just released a new

2:11.9

version of their on-premise product, fixing a new vulnerability CVE 2020-2347-246, and this vulnerability is apparently

2:23.2

currently being exploited by the Klopp ransomware gang. CIS 8 makes offers for help desks and

2:31.1

issue management. If you are running CIS 8, make sure that you are running version 23.3.3.36.

2:41.7

As part of its blog, CIS8 also reveals a number of details about the compromise that they observed,
