1.背景

1.1 家族介绍

  Medusa家族是一种主要针对基于Windows环境的勒索软件即服务（RaaS），自2021年6月起活跃。该勒索软件在2023年初因其活动升级而广为人知，特别是与其专用泄露网站Medusa Blog（DLS）的推出密切相关。Medusa的大多数攻击集中在美国，但也在英国、加拿大、澳大利亚等国家造成了重大影响，涉及众多行业。其高价值目标主要包括医疗保健、制造业、教育和专业服务等领域。

1.2 平台介绍

  Medusa暗网地址搭建于Tor网络，结构可分为三个主要页面：数据泄露页、泄露详情页和谈判页。数据泄露页用于展示所有受害者的基本信息和已泄露的数据摘要，泄露详情页则深入展示具体的泄露内容、受影响的系统或企业细节，以增加受害者的压力。而谈判页则为受害者与Medusa黑客团队提供了匿名的聊天渠道，供双方进行赎金谈判，通常通过加密的消息传递方式确保信息安全。

加密文件名特征

  加密文件名 = 原始文件名 + .MEDUSA

加密文件数据特征

• 当文件的大小小于8kb时,全部加密
• 大于8kb且小于20mb时,加密头尾各4kb数据
• 大于20mb且小于92,160,000kb的时候,文件大小分成1,200kb每份,记录份数
• 根据份数分块,分块为(份数*4kb)大小每块,每块头部加密4kb,剩余部分不加密
• 组数大于76,800组(92,160,000kb)的时候,取76,800组
• 加密数据后,写入文件特征及加密后的aes密钥

加密文件结构

加密算法

  文件加密使用了aes256加密算法的cbc模式，对加密文件的aes密钥采用了rsa加密,使用sha256生成受害者id。

密钥生成

  aes256密钥为32字节随机数,使用库函数rand生成,种子为时间加上当前被加密文件的序号,iv为硬编码,加密aes256用的rsa公钥也为硬编码,受害者id根据rsa公钥进行sha256哈希。

  iv: bytes([0x23,0x9F,0xF2,0xA9,0xDE,0x93,0x20,0x2F,0x24,0xBB,0xA5,0xFA,0xE0,0xA3,0x36,0xB1])

4.逆向分析

4.1 大致行为描述

  运行病毒后,程序读取命令行中的配置,根据配置自定义病毒行为,如加密根目录,是否隐藏主程序,勒索信路径等等.然后根据选项运行powershell命令,杀死对病毒不利的杀软进程和服务,删除卷影备份,以一定的规则(白名单)遍历文件夹并加密,然后在被加密文件的文件夹下写入勒索信.最后根据自定义配置决定是否延迟删除自身。

4.2 流程图

4.3 进入主函数

  输出start字符串。

4.4 命令行解析

  读取命令行参数,根据参数执行相应代码。

  检测命令行是否为以下内容:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

-V 输出版本 -d 自删除 -f 是否不包含系统目录 -i <path> 指定加密根目录 -k <path> 指定key文件路径 -n 感染网络驱动器 -p 执行"预处理" -s 是否不包含系统驱动器 -t <path> 自定义勒索信路径 -v 隐藏黑窗口 -w <path> 设置powershell运行根目录

4.5 设置powershell执行策略

  设置powershell执行策略,用于之后的命令执行,如延时自删除。

4.6 加载密钥相关

  如果有文件,就从文件读取密钥

  如果没有,则解密常量.其中获取bios信息的代码,经分析发现未被使用。

  解密pkcs8格式rsa密钥,计算密钥的sha256,转为小写字符串作为用户id,再把该密钥转成pkcs1格式存储。

4.7 解密勒索信

  如果勒索信文件存在,则读取。

  不存在则解密默认勒索信。

4.8 预处理

  解密白名单后缀和一些服务和进程名.根据配置内容确定加密根目录,以及是否执行所谓预处理。

  执行所谓预处理,就是杀死对黑客不利的进程和删除卷影备份。

  使用解密后的powershell命令，杀死如下进程和服务：

  删除卷影备份。

4.9 遍历驱动器

  遍历系统的驱动器列表,根据自定义的是否加密网络文件开关,选择性地忽略网络驱动器(DRIVE_REMOTE)。

4.10 加密文件

  判断加密系统驱动器或加密系统目录选项是否开启。

  是则加密指定目录下的文件.白名单路径和文件名如下:

1 2	"Windows","Windows.old","PerfLogs","MSOCache","Program Files","Program Files (x86)","ProgramData","\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\","\\AppData\\LocalLow\\","\\AppData\\Roaming\\","\\Users\\All Users\\" "desktop.ini","Thumbs.db"

  使用c++事务加密文件.入口点需要在汇编模式才能看到。

  设置文件属性为非只读。

  过滤一些白名单。

  根据后缀判断是否加密过文件。

  加密主要逻辑,使用了aes,aes使用windows自带api(cng)实现.使用硬编码的iv加密,加密结果写入文件.写入加密内容后,写入文件的尾部信息(格式上文有给出).最后在源文件名字符串后加上".MEDUSA"作为新文件名,使用MovFile替换源文件。

  同时写入勒索信。

4.11 结束工作

  计算并显示加密所用时间,再根据配置决定是否自删除。

  使用powershell命令执行延时自删除。

5.病毒分析概览

  主要的行为流程可以总结为：病毒启动后根据命令行配置定制行为，包括选择加密根目录、隐藏主程序、指定勒索信路径等，同时执行PowerShell命令结束反病毒进程、删除卷影备份，并通过命令行解析控制具体操作。病毒会设置PowerShell执行策略确保后续命令顺利执行，加载加密密钥并使用RSA算法加密存储密钥。如果勒索信文件存在，病毒读取并使用其中内容；若无，则解密默认勒索信。加密前，病毒会结束不利进程和删除备份，随后通过白名单规则遍历并加密文件，同时在每个加密文件所在的文件夹写入勒索信。文件加密的方式根据文件大小不同而有所区别。最后，根据配置，病毒可能延迟自删除以清除痕迹。
