This Trojan downloads other files via the Internet and launches them for execution on the victim machine without the user’s knowledge or consent. It is a Windows PE EXE file. It is 34816 bytes in size. It is not packed in any way. It is written in C++.

Installation

Once launched, the Trojan copies its body to the Windows temporary directory as shown below:

%Temp%\hbgdown.exe
%Temp%\msdtc.exe

In order to ensure the Trojan is launched next time the system is started, it creates a service called “HTTP SSH”:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP SSH]
"DisplayName" = "HTTP SSH"
"ErrorControl" = "0"
"ImagePath" = "%Temp%\msdtc.exe"
"ObjectName" = "LocalSystem"
"Start" = "2"
"Type" = "10"

The Trojan downloads a file from the URL shown below:

http://*****gcdon.com.cn/v.exe

This file is saved to the Windows temporary directory as shown below:

%Temp%\gbn.exe

The downloaded file will then be launched for execution.

At the time of writing, the link was not active.

1. Use Task Manager to terminate the Trojan process.
2. Delete the following system registry key:

   [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP SSH]

3. Delete the original Trojan file (the location will depend on how the program originally penetrated the victim machine).
4. Delete the following files:

   %Temp%\hbgdown.exe
   %Temp%\msdtc.exe
   %Temp%\gbn.exe

5. Delete all files from %Temporary Internet Files%.
