My friends at CyberBlog decided to analyze the GM Bot Android Malware as exercise aiming to receive feedback sand suggestions from the security community.
GM是Ganga Man的缩写,是一个非洲国家的地名。这里是被用来做一个Android平台的恶意代码的名称。本篇文章是一个技术分析报告,分了5个小部分来解析:
1 公开分析 Public Analysis
2 静态分析 Static Analysis
3 解压缩调试 Packer Debugging
4 DEX 解压以及反编译 DEX Extraction and De-compilation
5 动态分析 Functional & Dynamic Analysis
//END
Summary
The sample appears to be a specifically customised variant that is being used in a campaign to target the Danske Bank MobilePay application. We see evidence that it is probably not the original GM Bot authors work – the coding style compared with the public source code is different, and the mix of languages in the resource files implies the sample has been adapted in a “quick and dirty” fashion to achieve the objectives.
This is a good example of how once released, complex code can be quickly and easily forked by less skilled authors and a pattern we also see today with the release of the Mirai botnet code. Quickly we see a spread of variants of the codebase that become harder to trace and detect and importantly attribute to any individual or group.
As ever, the best advice to prevent becoming a victim of such malware is to ensure that your phone is not configured to install 3rd party applications, and always review requests for permissions carefully – eg, are they aligned with the expected purpose of the application?
通过以上的详细的技术分析,发现这个变种好像并不是原始作者的作品,应该是源码泄露后,一些类似脚本小子类的低级黑客们改巴改巴参数、语言文字显示、C&C地址等重新生成“新的”恶意样本。
这个套路业内已经很流行了,比如最近引起全球轰动的物联网僵尸网络Mirai的源代码被公开后,一些类似的变种就接踵而至就是一个例证。可以预见的是在不久的将来,这些事例还会上演。
作为防范建议,还是不要安装非正规市场中的APP应用,这样就可以显著减少被感染和攻击的机会。确实需要安装APP时,也要特别留意这些待安装的APP其索要的权限是否合适和必须。
