Example Malware Static Analysis Report

The document is a malware static analysis report for a sample identified as Trojan.Emotet.Generic, which is a banking Trojan/dropper with a high threat level due to its potential for data theft and network propagation. The sample was acquired from a phishing email attachment and exhibits suspicious behavior such as process injection and command-and-control communication via a hardcoded IP address. Recommendations include dynamic analysis in a sandbox, blocking the command-and-control IP, and monitoring registry changes.

Malware Static Analysis Report

1. Sample Identification

• Sample Name: [Link]


• File Type: PE32 executable (Windows) • File Size: 245 KB •
Hash Values:
o MD5: a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6 o SHA-1:
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678 o SHA-
256:
abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456789
0abcdef1234567890
• Date Analyzed: March 02, 2025
• Analyst Name: Grok Analyst

2. Acquisition Details

• Source: Email attachment (phishing campaign)


• Collection Date: February 28, 2025
• Sample Origin: Unknown, suspected Eastern Europe based on
prior Emotet campaigns

3. File Structure Analysis

• File Format: PE32 executable (32-bit Windows) •


Header Information: o Magic Bytes: MZ o Entry Point:
0x401000
o Sections: .text, .data, .rsrc, .reloc

• Imported Functions:
o [Link]: CreateFileA, WriteFile, GetProcAddress o
[Link]: RegisterHotKey
o [Link]: InternetOpenA, HttpSendRequestA •
Exported Functions: None • Strings:
o [Link] o [Link] /c
o Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

4. Code Analysis

• Obfuscation Techniques: Packed with UPX (confirmed by


signature), additional custom string encryption
• Suspicious Code Segments: Loops for process injection,
dynamic API resolution
• Embedded Resources: Encrypted payload in .rsrc section
(likely secondary stage)

5. Behavioral Indicators

• Potential Capabilities: Data theft, persistence, secondary


payload delivery
• Targeted OS/Platform: Windows (XP and later)
• Persistence Mechanisms: Registry key modification
(HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)

6. Network Indicators

• Domains/IPs: [Link]
• Protocols: HTTP

• C2 Communication: Likely command-and-control


via hardcoded IP

7. Detection and Signatures

• AV Detection: 45/70 detections on VirusTotal


(e.g., [Link], Mal/Generic-S)
• YARA Rules:
rule Emotet_Trojan {

meta:

description = "Detects Emotet trojan based on strings and


imports"

strings:

$s1 = "[Link] ascii

$s2 =
"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"
ascii condition:

uint16(0) == 0x5A4D and all of them

8. Conclusion

• Malware Classification: Banking Trojan / Dropper


• Threat Level: High (due to data theft and network propagation
potential)
• Recommendations: Proceed with dynamic analysis in a
sandbox, block C2 IP, monitor registry changes

9. Additional Notes

• Sample resembles Emotet campaigns from 2023-2024; may be


part of a larger infection chain.
