Finders Keepers (KPot Stealers)

• Samples in the file samples.zip the password is infected.
• Code for decoding the strings for the stage 2 loader are in the src directory
• Slides are located in docs/index.pdf
• KPot V2.1 has been released so if you have samples of this share them with me so I can defeat it too!

KPot v2.0 Encrypt/Decrypt Strings and C2 Exiltrated Data

By turning KPot v2.0 against itself with pseudo emulation techniques, I was able to decrypt all of its strings and its C2 exfiltration data.

📓 Yes, there are two string decryption functions, they are however redundant. 😆

Building and Using the Encrypt/Decrypt Tool:

malware@work ~$ git clone https://github.com/lillypad/fkks.git
malware@work ~$ cd fkks/src/kp2dc/
malware@work ~$ make
malware@work ~$ make extract-sample
malware@work ~$ bin/kp2dc --help

Spawning Your C2 Server:

malware@work ~$ cd src/kp2dc/bin/
malware@work ~$ ./kp2dc --extract-key -i sample.bin
malware@work ~$ ./kp2c2.py --help
usage: kp2c2.py [-h] --path PATH -k KEY [-d] [-p PORT]
                [--header-server HEADER_SERVER]
                [--header-x-powered-by HEADER_X_POWERED_BY] [-c CONFIG]
                [-o OUTPUT]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --path PATH           C2 File Path
  -k KEY, --key KEY     C2 Crypt Key
  -d, --debug           Debug Mode
  -p PORT, --port PORT  C2 Port
  --header-server HEADER_SERVER
                        C2 Server Response Header
  --header-x-powered-by HEADER_X_POWERED_BY
                        C2 Server Default X-Powered-By Header
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        C2 Server Command Configuration File (Encrypted /
                        Base64)
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output Folder for Loot
malware@work ~$ mkdir -p loot/
malware@work ~$ ./kp2dc --crypt-file data/cmd.conf --key [KEY] -o cmd.bin && base64 cmd.bin > cmd.b64
malware@work ~$ ./kp2c2 --path /example/gate.php --key [KEY] -p 8080 -o loot/ --debug --config data/cmd.b64

The src/kp2dc/bin/kp2c2.py script can be used to raise your own C2 server, it will write bin files to a folder you choose with the date-time. It will decrypt the data using the kp2dc tool that you extracted the key with using the --crypt-file method. 😆

Decrypt and Extract Stolen Data:

malware@work ~$ kp2dc --crypt-file -i data/exfil.bin -k (kp2dc --extract-key -i sample.bin) -o out.bin -q

KPot v2.0 uses IDs from 0 to 182 and other hardcoded data to perform the XOR decryption.

If you like this research and want to support my work give me a ⭐.

If you have questions send me a message! 😸

Thank you! \^-^/
