A "Styxy" Cool EK !
Around 2013-04-27 the prolific "Reveton" Cool EK suddenly became silent. The Ransomware was then pushed in SofosFO and Sweet Orange.
At end of may another Cool EK appeared, operated by another group and with some code that looks like older than last seen version (could be source leak/sell/share). Domains in .us or .pw and path in /blogs/ & /more/.
 |
| /more/ - /blogs/ Cool EK (end of May 2013 - beg of June 2013) |
That one was not widely spread hence not really easy to catch.
Since 10 days a new one appeared. Pushing reveton, many IP, same kind of domain name than THE cool EK.

From what we saw we can already draw the graph of exploitation but i'll keep it for the end.
CVE-2013-0431 :
 |
| CVE-2013-0431 pass - Styxy Landing, SofosFOish Exploitation (payload encoded) |
 |
| Piece of CVE-2013-0431 in SofosFOish jar of Cool EK |

 |
| Payload URL as Parameter in Cookie |

jZGRH (in Choose-convenient_annually-worthwhile) is a parameter to feed the function that create a Cookie for Duqu like Font Drop path |
CVE-2010-0188 (with CVE-2011-3402 attempt):
 |
| CVE-2010-0188 - e=3 |
And here is the
Exploitation Graph :
 |
| "Styxy" Cool EK Exploitation Graph - 2013-06-30 |
For CVE-2011-3402 see :
 |
| CVE-2011-3402 try back in october was like that. IE10 and some new patch could also protect you |
Note : no more Flash exploit (for now at least), no x64 duqu font drop.
We could almost name it Styx...
Server react as Cool EK. Admin interface is quite surely Cool...And quite surely no MongoDB/Git here.
