2. Outline  Infections  1) r57 shell  2) rogue software  What Can We Do?  1) Seccheck  2) Virus total  3) Sandbox  Prevention  1) Personal Software Inspector  2) Network Software Inspector

19. Basic Steps for an Infection  Save all important data  Best: Wipe the machine-do a fresh install  If this is not possible- then try to clean it  Change all passwords  Install latest anti-virus software  Apply all patches  Turn on the Firewall  Let the NSO know so we can search for other compromised machines

20. Advanced Steps for an Infection  SecCheck  Virus Total  Malware Analysis: 1. Norman Sandbox 2. Anubis 3. CWSandbox 4. Threat Expert

21. Different Types of Infections  Virus – Relies on users to spread: email attachments, links in an email  Worm – can spread on its own  Trojan – A malicious file that appears to be legitimate  Bot – A worm that phones home to a Command & Controller so the attacker can give it instructions

22. What Do Most Infections Do?  Send Spam  Scan the network  Attack other machines – called a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack  Run a distribution server for malicious files: web server or ftp server  Set up a Phishing site  Act as a proxy for other malicious traffic  Download spyware and adware to the machine  Run a keylogger

23. Guidelines for Attempting to Clean a Machine  Install an AV tool like Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition with the latest signatures and run a full scan  Other techniques/tools:  Seccheck (Windows)  netstat –anb (Windows command line)  lsof (Linux)  Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD)  Sysinternals Suite (Windows GUI)

24. Spam Proxys and SecCheck  Lawrence Baldwin is the author of seccheck and owner of mynetwatchman.com  He was directly involved in taking down a spam botnet which was responsible for sending out 5-10% of the mail on the Internet =~ about 2-10 billion spam messages per day

25. SecCheck continued  Windows forensic tool  Aids in the detection and removal of malicious software  Passive  Runs in about three-six minutes  Send me the URL for the report and I can help analyze it

26. STC Josh Leibner after running SecCheck “I'm pretty baffled as to why AV, HijackThis, and AdAware didn't catch any of this. I'll set up another appointment with the student so that I can more thoroughly clean the computer.”

42. Watch Out For Malicious links and attachments  Links to phishing and hacking sites, as well as malicious files, can arrive by email, instant message, web page, etc.  Know your source!  Verify before clicking.  Don’t open anything unexpected.  ~100 users were removed from the network for days because of a bot infection transmitted through an AIM link

43. Use it to identify: Phishing Malicious links And to protect personal information!
