Finding The Original Maldoc
Xavier wrote about a "Malicious Excel Sheet with a NULL VT Score" and I showed how to extract the VBA code from the maldoc cleaned by AV.
How can one find back the original maldoc?
By using a unique identifier as search term.
In the cleaned maldoc, the PROJECT stream was still present. As I explained in previous diary entry, the VBA project is password protected. The password is stored as a salted SHA1, encoded, and set as the value of DPB:
This value of DPB is unique to the maldoc, and that is the identifier I used to search through VirusTotal's database.
I found three documents containing that ID:
- 1191d5c1dd7f6ac38b8d72bee37415b3ff1c28a8f907971443ac3a36906e8bf5: the cleaned maldoc itself
- 1edbb818ea75919bb70bd2496e789e89d26c94cdf65ab61ebb5f1403d45d323c: the original maldoc
- a6b141c048ce6a034a60b687aa5de8a4cfe294ad535b2bc100dd80055b1f24c4.vir: another cleaned maldoc
The stream modules are intact in the original maldoc:
While the second cleaned AV has even more streams cleaned (all VBA project streams):

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
