More Information

Troj/Dumaru-BZ is a Trojan with password stealing capabilities. Troj/Dumaru-BZ is a Trojan with password stealing capabilities.

When first run Troj/Dumaru-BZ copies itself to the Windows System folder as winldra.exe and creates the following registry entry so as to run itself on user logon:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
load32
<System>\winldra.exe

The following files may also be created:

<Windows>\dvpd.dll
<Windows>\sendlogs_dat
<Windows>\dvp.log
<Windows>\prntk.log
<Windows>\prntc.log
<Windows>\netdx.dat
<Temp>\fe43e701.htm

The files sendlogs_dat, dvp.log, prntk.log, prntc.log, netdx.dat and fe43e701.htm are non-malicious and may be safely deleted.

dvpd.dll is also being detected by Sophos as Troj/Dumaru-BZ.

Troj/Dumaru-BZ captures clipboard data, window text, cached passwords and confidential information from the protected storage area of Windows.

The Trojan has the ability to log keystrokes.

The Trojan also attempts to steal confidential information related to E-Gold, WebMoney, Total Commander and Far Manager account details as well as TCP/IP Interface settings, Internet Account Manager POP3 user names/passwords and Windows user names.

HKCU\Software\SARS
SocksPort

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
AllowWindowReuse
0

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete

The Trojan then injects the dropped DLL helper component dvpd.dll into the Windows Explorer process and begins keylogging functionality when Internet Explorer is started.

The keylogged information is then stored in the file prntk.log in the Windows folder. This file is then sent to a pre-configured website as a web form to a pre-configured attacker.

Once this data has been sent, the Trojan sets the following registry entry:

HKCU\Software\SARS
mailsended
<number>
