Sorry. Not sorry 1ms0rry. Atsamaz Gatsoev malware business
Hey!
Here we go for another write up, but this time with some friends :D
This is the work of MalwareMustDie feat NibbleHunters!
Greetz to .sS.!, coldshell, fumik0_, siri_urz, VxVault, Cybercrime-Tracker, MalwareMustDie, .sS.! (again) and all the froggy scene.



This post is a quick reminder for the "malware reasearcher" :
Developing malware and selling them is lame and illegal.

Introduction
In this blogpost, we will try to present you another malware actor called 1ms0rry. This guy managed to make itself known by selling a password stealer called N0f1l3 in some hack forums, and maybe you recognized him to be the man behind the miner "1ms0rry-Miner", which is pretty active in the wild these months.

1ms0rry was selling builders or/and source code for his malware.


There is a huge probability that almost all the C&C are controlled by customers and not 1ms0rry himself.

This write-up is exclusively about this malware developer, not botmaster(s).

N0f1l3
The selling ads (RU/Google translate)

The malware
The first one is a malware called N0F1L3. Spotted on some forums sold for 20$ the build or 600$ for the source code.
This password stealer was developed for stealing:

    Browser passwords and cookies (Chrome, Opera, Kometa, Orbitum, Comodo, Amigo, Torch and Yandex)
    Crypto-Currencies wallets (btc, electrum, ltc, eth, bcn, DSH, XMR, ZEC)
    Filezilla passwords
    Every file on the desktop with the extensions .txt .doc .docx .log

This malware is developed in .NET

Files artefacts:
%TEMP%\Directory\Browsers\Passwords.txt
%TEMP%\Directory\Browsers\Cookies.txt
%TEMP%\Directory\Browsers\CC.txt
%TEMP%\Directory\Browsers\Autofill.txt
%TEMP%\[HIWD].zip

Directories:

%TEMP%\Directory\Wallets\LitecoinCore
%TEMP%\Directory\Wallets\Ethereum
%TEMP%\Directory\Wallets\Bytecoin
%TEMP%\Directory\Wallets\Monero
%TEMP%\Directory\Wallets\DashCore


Notice that there is no persistence even in the source code published or in the sample in the wild.
In some sample we found this pdb:
C:\Users\gorno\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ims0rry\ims0rry\obj\Release\n0f1l3.pdb
this path is the 1ms0rry's computer we will understand why later.

The interesting fact here it seems that this stealer is targeting Russian browser too.
It focus on browsers like Yandex and this one is not really used outside Russia.

The C&C
The login page:

The collected logs list:

Each collected log appears in a separated html file:

Minimal settings:

And a search engine:

The panel is simple but efficient.

Vulnerabilities
Since the panel has leaked almost everywhere, and the new versions are patched, let's have a view on the vulnerabilities available.
You can easily change the admin password.
If you look at the first lines of cmd.php (the gate):

You just need to send a POST requests with 3 parameters without authentication for changing the password

curl -i -X POST -d 'login=admin&password=lulz&change=1' http://n0f1l3cnc.com/cmd.php --header "Referer: http://n0f1l3cnc.com/settings.php"

The panel also have some unauthenticated iSQL

N0f1leV2
we found a N0F1l3v2 in the wild
This sample was injected in a malware cryptor named "Paradox Crypter"

This cryptor is injected by c9a87d68a65ade147208ac8a6d68297877f145285e3f3f40ec01ea8d562fadc9 :
C:\Users\gorno\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\n0f1l3v2\Release\Test.pdb
What's new in the v2? It's now in C++, the stealer also support Firefox for the other part it's just N0f1l3 :)


1ms0rry Miner
Here we go for the 2nd malware, this is a Loader + Miner.
The selling ads (RU/Google translate)(click to enlarge):

Prices:

    CPU version - 3000 rubles
    GPU version - 3000 rubles
    EXTENDED version - 5500 rubles
    PRIVATE version - from $ 2000 (discussed individually)
    MULTIACC version - 40 000 rubles / month
    SOURCE - 200 000 rubles
    Bitcoin-purse substitution module - 500 rubles
    Module stellera with admin panel - 2500 rubles
    Resale of licenses is strictly prohibited (starting from 19.01.2018)



LoaderBot
Loaderbot is developed in .NET and it reuses a lot of code from N0f1l3.
It have basic features.
It kills itself if the task manager or process hacker are launched ("Hides from the task manager, process hacker (absolutely no processes)" feature in the ad).


The malware installs itself in C:\users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Windows\
Persistence is done by:

    Scheduled task: "cmd", "/C "+"schtasks /create /tn \System\\SecurityServiceUpdate /tr %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Windows\" + currFilename + " /st 00:00 /du 9999:59 /sc daily /ri 1 /f;
    Registry: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    A .url file pointing to URL=file://path/to/the/malware

Available features:

    Update
    Download
    Execute


Connexion to the C&C is done by GET requests http://cnc.com/cmd.php? :

    hwid: Used as bot ID (VolumeSerialNumber)
    timeout: timeout in case of CNC failure
    completed: task ID completed

Using the User-Agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0"

So, before infecting the victims with a Miner, the attacker install this loader.

Miner
The .NET loader drop a miner developed in C++
The first stage install the final miner:

    copy to %userprofil%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\winhost.exe
    launch a scheduled task schtasks /create /tn \\System\\SecurityService /tr %userprofile%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\winhost.exe /st 00:00 /du 9999:59 /sc daily /ri 1 /f
    Hide the installed files via attrib +s +h
    Looks if taskmgr.exe or processhacker.exe are running
    Detect if a Wallet address is in the clipboard and if so, replace it
    Use RunPE to lauch a fake attrib.exe (final miner). RunPE is done via CreateProcessA(Suspended)/SetThreadContext/WriteProcessMemoryResumeThread/. This code is a copy paste from https://github.com/KernelMode/RunPE-ProcessHollowing

The final payload is a C++ miner based on xmrig:

When 1ms0rry has developped the Miner, he also has developped a backend called SorryCoin.

Competitive analysis
This actor is really active on his GitHub. Thanks to him, this is a gold mine to have some information about what is going on seller forums. He decompiled a bunch of malware and analyzed them on telegra.ph and pushed all sources on his repository. This is a good way for him to check if there is no copycat for his miner. For example, when he analyzed a miner developed by EvilBanana. He mentioned that is a bad copy of "his" miner explicitly :


the highlight sentence means "this miner turned out to be my miner of the first version, but it's a little broken for some reason"

He reviewed some diversity of malware/tools (miners, botnet, loaders...) and tried to explain if features were really well developed and effective, or it's just basic crappy stuff..

Evrial
Evrial (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/evrial-trojan-switches-bitcoin-addresses-copied-to-windows-clipboard/) use code from 1ms0rry for sure:

Who is 1MS0RRY ?
Now let's try to understand who is 1ms0rry.
We know that he as :

    a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/ims0rry_off
    a Telegram account: https://t.me/ims0rryblog
    a Github account: https://github.com/ims0rry/

Let's try to get the nickname and the email used to commit in the Github account.

This command gives us (full details in the annex section):

    gornostay322@mail.ru
    lordatsa@mail.ru
    your_email@whatever.com

with the nicknames:

    Gatsoev
    hype
    ims0rry
    s0rry
    Your Name

lordatsa@mail.ru give us a mail.ru account https://my.mail.ru/mail/lordatsa/photo

We now have a name Аца Гацоев (Atsa Gatsoev)
All these information help us to find this Weblancer profile: https://www.weblancer.net/users/hypega/

This profile is interesting because:

    the name Ацамаз Гацоев (Atsamaz Gatsoev) is the same as the mail.ru account
    The username used is hypega. hype was used to commit on github, hypega for "hypeGatsoev
    The personal website in the profils information is http://lordatsa.wix.com/gatsoevsummary lordatsa is used as username for mail.ru

http://lordatsa.wix.com/gatsoevsummary is also interesting:

    VK Account: https://vk.com/quiet_and_invisible
    G+ account: https://plus.google.com/u/0/109976643017066209762/posts/p/pub

the VK account looks down but the photos in the G+ account points to 1ms0rry again:

The G+ account allows us to switch to the related Youtube account:

Now, take a deeper look at this video https://youtu.be/zPRo3hkVbrQ?t=4

This directory [NEW] builder on the desktop reminds us LoaderBot pdb :
c:\Users\gorno\Desktop\[NEW] builder\Bot\Miner\obj\Release\LoaderBot.pdb

In https://youtu.be/KUvLk20-NZk?t=6 at 6sec we can see Thermida and a local path C:\Users\gorno

In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUvLk20-NZk at 1 sec we can see the viruscheckmate user wich is hypega (again)
His freelancer account is interesting too, https://freelance.ru/hypega.
it allows us to retrieve 2 links:
* A Portfolio website: lordatsa.wix.com/e-consultant (via https://freelance.ru/hypega/elektronny-konsultant-2810410.html)
* A GitHub account: github.com/Gatsoev/Nerve_MobileApp (via https://freelance.ru/hypega/pr-agent-2966193.html)
This Github account is a perfect proof.
Let's take a look a for example https://github.com/Gatsoev/csgo.tm-fakeSellExtension.

Curious isn't it ? It looks like the Github account was just renamed.
We now have enough proof for linking 1ms0rry to Ацамаз Гацоев / Atsamaz Gatsoev

Who the hell is Atsamaz Gatsoev? We can find a protential picture of him in his weblancer profile :


Confirmed by Alan Salbiev from Education Ministry on a Facebook post.
Alan Salbiev describes 1ms0rry like that:

Google translate:

Atsamaz Gatsoev.
11-grad student from Vladikavkaz.
He ran and published in his blog theme more than 20 research papers in the field of information security, in particular, virology,
namely: analysis of protection and opening of various vredosnogo software, methods of cyber attacks and protecting against them.
Over 1,400 people signed it.
December 2-3, 2017 in Vladikavkaz was held the first hackathon among high school students for the prize of the Head of the Republic
in which Atsamaz acted as a mentor.
Atsamaz he organized and conducted twice a thematic Olympiad on CTF (Capture the flag) of information security in the format Task-based,
which was attended by over 100 people from different cities and countries.
In addition, with the direct participation Atsamaz (design, commissioning and start-up) in the work of our Office has been implemented
application based on the principles of distributed data registry (blokcheyn - technology)
February 25, 2018 at competitions on sports hacking at the University ITMO our hero confidently walked rivals from Komsomolsk-on-Amur,
Khanty-Mansiysk, Penza, Pyatigorsk, etc. As a result, a schoolboy from Vladikavkaz entered the top 15 in St. Petersbur>.
At Atsamaz there is a dream - to enter the University of ITMO. Our Office will provide every possible assistance to a talented guy.
Special mention should be noted that the successes Atsamaz lies the great work of his parents, who were able to instill in him the
awareness, independence, the desire for knowledge and hard work. Take an example from them.


It's easy to protect against malware when you develop them, isn't it ?
TL;DR:
(We only keep information related to his malware activities.)

Name: Ацамаз Гацоев, Atsamaz Gatsoev,
Born: 1997 Aug. 14
Location: Tskhinvali region
Nickname: 1ms0rry, gorno, hypega, Gatsoev, lordatsa, atsam;
Email: lordatsa@mail.ru gornostay322@mail.ru
Social: https://vk.com/quiet_and_invisible https://twitter.com/ims0rry_off https://github.com/ims0rry/ https://plus.google.com/u/0/109976643017066209762/
There is enough information for knowing exactly who is 1ms0rry :)

Conclusion
Obviously, this write-up doesn't cover every malware (you can find some telegra.ph bot) but it's enough data if somebody needs to go deeper.

This is not a major threat actor, malware developed by him are not really advanced and the web panels are basic (except the design !) but the SorryCoin backend was interesting.
It is obvious that here, Ацамаз Гацоев is a malware developer/reseller and not a researcher or a red-teamer that develops malware for POC purpose.
Just in case of, we archived all the links (forum, twitter, telegraph...) on archive.org :).
That all folks!
We hope you enjoy the read if you need more information don't hesitate to ping us
