Technical Details

Trojan-Spy:W32/Lydra.DT is a Trojan-Spy that monitors user activities in the infected machine.

It stays active in Windows memory and starts keylogging (recording keyboard and mouse inputs). It stores the recorded keystrokes data and computer hardware and software information for later submission and sends it to the malware author via email.

It creates these files upon execution:

  • %windir%\mui\rctfd.sys
  • %windir%\syswin.exe
  • %windir%\lsassv.exe
  • %windir%\msrpc.exe
  • %windir%\calc.exe
  • %windir%\regedit2.exe
  • %allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\AdobeGammaLoader.scr

It also modifies some Windows files found in the %windir% folder.

Adds itself as a system service and puts multiple registry run entries to execute itself when the system starts.

Changes to the registry follows:

  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{65D5AFFB-D4EF-49AA-GFFG-5DA5E12E300A} ThisEXE = %cwd%\wokiscan.exe
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{65D5AFFB-D4EF-49AA-GFFG-5DA5E12E300A} VerProg = 0000009B
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run syswin = c:\windows\syswin.exe
  • HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run syswin = c:\windows\syswin.exe
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices syswin = c:\windows\syswin.exe
  • HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run lsassv = c:\windows\lsassv.exe
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run msrpc = c:\windows\msrpc.exe
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin DependOnGroup =
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin DependOnService = RpcSs
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin Description = This service manages TCP/IP packets at Internet
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin DisplayName = TCPIP route manager
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin Group = PlugPlay
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin ObjectName = LocalSystem
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin ImagePath = c:\windows\syswin.exe
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin ErrorControl = 00000001
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin PlugPlayServiceType = 00000003
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin Start = 00000002
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\syswin Type = 00000120
  • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List %cwd%\wokiscan.exe = %cwd%\wokiscan.exe:*:Enabled:System Update

Trojan-Spy:W32/Lydra.DT also collects email addresses found in files with pre-defined name extensions from the infected machine's available drives. It is also able to terminate security related processes and services.

It uses either its built-in SMTP engine or MAPI to send the encrypted stolen information via email:

  • smtp server : smtp.mail.ru
  • email address : johnhayward843@yahoo.co.uk and nfd984@rambler.ru
