Hi,

Just played with custom encoded adobe_flashplayer_newfunction PDF exploit, and find that Kaspersky AV dont allow 
specific operation with SWF file which included in exploit (seems don't allow write operation), I still can open PDF 
file, KAV does not delete file and doesn't flag it as virus.
Is it possible to encode SWF itself?

Regards,
spring

Thanks for testing. I think it is very difficult to permanently 
circumvent the detection of malicious javascript in PDF files. In
contrast to web-based exploits, AV can flag the usage of JS obfuscation
as malicious, though it does not see the real exploit (therefore the
"generic" detection).

In the first development phase I only targeted web-based exploits - the
usage for PDFs was more of a side product.

Well, just thought I'd share my results with NOD after applying the
jsidle patch for new icon adobe exploit. Bottom line, NOD still flags
it as PDF/Exploit.Gen. Tried encrypting it also and it did cut down
on detections but NOD still flags it as PDF/Exploit.Gen. Seems NOD is
doing a pretty good job in flagging malicious PDFs.

NOD prides themselves on having one of the best heuristics engines, so
I believe NOD would mark the PDF as suspicious and not a specific
threat. You can do what many malware writers do and split the PDF into
multiple parts and you can narrow the range of where/what in the PDF
is getting flagged. Then change things accordingly.


This idea of delaying code to bypass detection has been brought up
before by well known virus writers like Z0mbie and Second Part To
Hell/[rRlf].

This is all based upon the fact that a anti virus like Norton or NOD
can only spend about 3 or 4 seconds on each file. Otherwise a AV scan
would take to long.
