Summary

Description

This Malware Analysis Report (MAR) is the result of analytic efforts between Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Working with U.S. Government partners, DHS and FBI identified Trojan malware 
variants used by the North Korean government. This malware variant has been identified as HOPLIGHT. The U.S. Government 
refers to malicious cyber activity by the North Korean government as HIDDEN COBRA. For more information on HIDDEN COBRA 
activity, visit https://www.us-cert.gov/hiddencobra.

DHS and FBI are distributing this MAR to enable network defense and reduce exposure to North Korean government 
malicious cyber activity.

This MAR includes malware descriptions related to HIDDEN COBRA, suggested response actions and recommended mitigation 
techniques. Users or administrators should flag activity associated with the malware and report the activity to the 
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) or the FBI Cyber Watch (CyWatch), and give the activity the 
highest priority for enhanced mitigation.

This report provides analysis of nine malicious executable files. Seven of these files are proxy applications that mask 
traffic between the malware and the remote operators. The proxies have the ability to generate fake TLS handshake 
sessions using valid public SSL certificates, disguising network connections with remote malicious actors. One file 
contains a public SSL certificate and the payload of the file appears to be encoded with a password or key. The 
remaining file does not contain any of the public SSL certificates, but attempts outbound connections and drops four 
files. The dropped files primarily contain IP addresses and SSL certificates.

---Begin Malware Capability---

Read, Write, and Move Files
Enumerate System Drives
Create and Terminate Processes
Inject into Running Processes
Create, Start and Stop Services
Modify Registry Settings
Connect to a Remote Host
Upload and Download Files

---End Malware Capability---

The malware is capable of opening and binding to a socket. The malware uses a public SSL certificate for secure 
communication. This certificate is from www.naver.com. Naver.com is the largest search engine in Korea and provides a 
variety of web services to clients around the world.

---Begin SSL Certificate Header---

1 0  UNL10U
PolarSSL10UPolarSSL Test CA0
110212144407Z
2102121144407Z0<1 0 UNL10U
PolarSSL10UPolarSSL Client 200

---End SSL Certificate Header---

When executed, the malware will attempt a TLS Handshake with one of four hardcoded IP addresses embedded in the 
malware. These IP addresses are referenced in 'udbcgiut.dat' below. The malware also contains an embedded Zlib 
compression library that appears to further obfuscate the communications payload.

The following notable strings have been linked to the use of the SSL certificates and can be used to identify the 
malware:

---Begin Notable Strings---

Description

This artifact is a malicious PE32 executable with similar characteristics of those described in 
23E27E5482E3F55BF828DAB885569033 above.

When this artifact is executed, it will write the file 'udbcgiut.dat' to C:\Users lt;user>\AppData\Local\Temp.

The malware will then attempt outbound SSL connections to 81.94.192.147 and 112.175.92.57. Both connection attempts are 
over TCP Port 443.
The two IP addresses above, as well as the IP addresses 181.39.135.126 and 197.211.212.59 are hard-coded into the 
malware. However, only connections to the first two IP addresses were attempted during analysis.

---End Decoded Socket Pairs---

The unicode string generated during this analysis was '8a9b11762b96c4b6'. The socket pairs remain the same for all 
instances of the malware.
For the PE32 executables, 'udbcgiut.dat' was dropped in the victim's profile at %AppData%\Local\Temp. For the 64bit 
executables, 'udbcgiut.dat' was dropped in C:\Windows.

Description

This artifact is a malicious PE32 executable with similar characteristics of those described in 
23E27E5482E3F55BF828DAB885569033 above.

This program attempts to initiate a TLS Handshake to the four IP/Port pairs listed in 'udbcgiut.dat'. If the program is 
unable to establish a connection, the file 'udbcgiut.dat' is deleted.

After 'udbcgiut.dat' is deleted, an outbound SSL connection is made to 81.94.192.10. The IP address is hard coded in 
the malware and are not randomly generated.

This artifact also loads several APIs that are commonly associated with Pass-The-Hash (PTH) toolkits, indicating a 
capability to harvest user credentials and passwords.

---Begin Common PTH APIs---

Description

This artifact is a malicious x64 executable with similar characteristics of those described in 
23E27E5482E3F55BF828DAB885569033 above.

In addition to the capabilities described above, this variant will hook the Windows Local Security Authority 
(lsass.exe). 'lsass.exe' will check the registry for the data value 'rdpproto' under the key 
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa Name: Security Packages. If not found, this value is added by 'lsass.exe'.
Next, the malware will drop the embedded file, 'rdpproto.dll' into the %System32% directory.
The file, 'udbcgiut.dat' is then written to C:\Windows. Outbound connection attempts are made to the socket pairs found 
within this file as described above.

Description

This artifact is 64bit Windows dynamic library file which shares many of the same characteristics and name 
(Vote_Controller.dll) as 42682D4A78FE5C2EDA988185A344637D above.

When this library is loaded it will look for the file 'udbcgiut.dat' in C:\WINDOWS. If 'udbcgiut.dat' is not found, the 
file will attempt connections to the same ten IP addresses described under 'rdpproto.dll' above.

One notable difference with this variant is that it uses the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) process to 
recompile the Managed Object Format (MOF) files in the WMI repository. At runtime, the malware will enumerate the 
drivers located in the registry at HKLM\Software\WBEM\WDM.
These files are then recompiled by invoking wmiprvse.exe through svchost.exe: "C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe 
-Embedding".
MOF files are written in a SQL-like language and are run (compiled) by the operating system when a predetermined event 
takes place. Recent malware variants have been observed modifying the MOF files within the system registry to run 
specific commands and create persistency on the system.

Of note, the paravirtual SCSI driver for VMWare Tools is also located in HKLM\Software\WBEM\WDM within a virtual image. 
When this driver is recompiled by the malware, VMWare Tools no longer works. It cannot be determined if this is an 
intentional characteristic of the malware to hinder analysis, or simply a symptom of the method used to establish 
persistence.

Description

This artifact is a malicious PE32 executable. When executed, the artifact sets up the service, 'Network UDP Trace 
Management Service'.
To set up the service, the program drops a dynamic library, 'UDPTrcSvc.dll' into the %System32% directory.
Next, the following registry keys are added:

---Begin Registry Keys---

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UDPTrcSvc Name: Type Value: 20
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UDPTrcSvc Name: Start Value: 02
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UDPTrcSvc Name: ImagePath Value: "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k mdnetuse"
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UDPTrcSvc Name: DisplayName Value: "Network UDP Trace Management Service"
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UDPTrcSvc Name: ObjectName Value: "LocalSystem"
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\UDPTrcSvc\Parameters Name: ServiceDll Value: "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe 
-k mdnetuse"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost\mdnetuse

---End Registry Keys---

The service is started by invoking svchost.exe.

After writing 'UDPTrcSvd.dll' to disk, the program drops two additional files. Similar to

CISA would like to remind users and administrators to consider using the following best practices to strengthen the 
security posture of their organization's systems. Any configuration changes should be reviewed by system owners and 
administrators prior to implementation to avoid unwanted impacts.


  * Maintain up-to-date antivirus signatures and engines. 
  * Keep operating system patches up-to-date. 
  * Disable File and Printer sharing services. If these services are required, use strong passwords or Active Directory 
authentication. 
  * Restrict users' ability (permissions) to install and run unwanted software applications. Do not add users to the 
local administrators group unless required. 
  * Enforce a strong password policy and implement regular password changes. 
  * Exercise caution when opening e-mail attachments even if the attachment is expected and the sender appears to be 
known. 
  * Enable a personal firewall on agency workstations, configured to deny unsolicited connection requests. 
  * Disable unnecessary services on agency workstations and servers. 
  * Scan for and remove suspicious e-mail attachments; ensure the scanned attachment is its "true file type" (i.e., the 
extension matches the file header). 
  * Monitor users' web browsing habits; restrict access to sites with unfavorable content. 
  * Exercise caution when using removable media (e.g., USB thumbdrives, external drives, CDs, etc.). 
  * Scan all software downloaded from the Internet prior to executing. 
  * Maintain situational awareness of the latest threats and implement appropriate ACLs.
