This write up stems from a user getting a malicious Word document via an email for an invoice. Running the PCAP file through Network Total, I saw that that this was tagged as Geodo/Emotet malware. Googling around for Emotet, I came across a Forcepoint article in which they did a…
Looking for some malspam yesterday and I came across something that looks like it was exploiting the CVE 2017-0199 vulnerability in MS Office RTF files. FireEye did a nice write-up of this which you can read here. Googling to see if anyone else had seen these domains before, I was…
So last week I came across some malspam that used a PDF with an embedded Word document in it that encrypted my test VM with Jaff ransomware which I discussed here. Trying to figure out how the script worked, I came across some aspects/things that I had not seen done…
So yesterday I came across some malspam that used a PDF with an embedded Word document in it that encrypted my test VM with the Jaff ransomeware. It looks like Brad (@Malware_Traffic) received something very similar to me which you can read about here. As a side note, I did…

Trolling through the email filters today I came across this nugget. From what I can tell this looks to be related to the Adwind/JRat family of malware. This particular RAT was found in an email that is in Turkish. Kaspersky has a quick write-up about this RAT which you can…
Below is my write up from Brad’s last malware exercise. You will be able to find the artifacts from these two investigations over on my Github page which can be found here. Executive Summary ================== The brothers caused infections on their systems by opening malicious emails that were sent to…
This investigation stems from a maldoc that was sent to us yesterday. It is your standard maldoc that requires you to enable content in order to get the embedded script to run. From the looks of it, the malware that is used in this infection is Smokeloader/Dofoil. For more information…
Monday there was a file sent via email to an employee with a maldoc attached to it. The maldoc was encrypted and used the password of 3443 to unlock it. Once you unlocked the document, it asked to enable macros. It is from here that this analysis starts. This infection…
