PuTTY is a popular terminal emulator, serial console, and network file transfer application that supports network protocols, including SSH, SCP, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. Two weeks ago, security firm Mandiant warned that hackers with ties to North Korea had Trojanized it in a campaign that successfully compromised a customer's network. Thursday's post said the same hackers have also weaponized KiTTY, TightVNC, Sumatra PDF Reader, and muPDF/Subliminal Recording software with code that installs the same espionage malware, which Microsoft has named ZetaNile.

Within the trojanized version of muPDF/Subliminal Recording installer, setup.exe is configured to check if the file path ISSetupPrerequisites\Setup64.exe exists and write C:\colrctl\colorui.dll on disk after extracting the embedded executable inside setup.exe. It then copies C:\Windows\System32\ColorCpl.exe to C:\ColorCtrl\ColorCpl.exe. For the second stage malware, the malicious installer creates a new process C:\colorctrl\colorcpl.exe C3A9B30B6A313F289297C9A36730DB6D, and the argument C3A9B30B6A313F289297C9A36730DB6D gets passed on to colorui.dll as a decryption key. The DLL colorui.dll, which Microsoft is tracking as the EventHorizon malware family, is injected into C:\Windows\System\credwiz.exe or iexpress.exe to send C2 HTTP requests as part of the victim check-in process and to get an additional payload.

Some hotfixes use an old Microsoft packaging technology called "IExpress", whose switches are more-or-less documented in KB article 197147 and an old USENET post. These installers first extract some stuff to a temporary folder and then run a command from inside that folder. They support the /t:path switch to specify the temporary folder name and the /c:command switch to specify the command to run. Specifying just /c suppresses running the command at all, so you can use /c /t:path to extract the hotfix just to look at it.

IExpress (iexpress.exe) is a useful Microsoft tool for creating self-extracting executables and SFX installers. It has been bundled with Windows since at least XP, and was available before that as part of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit.

The basic flow utilizes Word documents with macros, which drop an LNK file in the Startup folder. When the LNK file is executed, it downloads from the server and executes PowerShell commands, which perform AMSI bypass and eventually install the PoshC2 implant.

To evade detection, the attackers first run two additional AMSI bypass commands, even though the backdoor always starts with AMSI bypass. They then inject shellcode into RuntimeBroker.exe and iexpress.exe, built-in Windows binaries, using the PoshC2 Inject-Shellcode module. The injected code is Sharpv4 shellcode which contains a DLL that patches AmsiScanBuffer (AMSI bypass technique) and EtwEventWrite (Event Tracing for Windows bypass technique):

Before you begin the installation process, you will need two files. The first file is the script you would like to bundle into the executable. The second script must be the batch file that you use to execute your script. For example: if your script is a visual basic script (.vbs) you need a batch file (.bat) that will run your script. The following are two simple examples of scripts to help drive home the point: hello.vbs echo "hello" runhello.bat cscript hello.vbs If you are unfamiliar with visual basic scripts and batch script syntax the "cscript" command shown above is needed to execute the hello.vbs file. Launch IExpress in Windows Vista by clicking the Start button and typing iexpress. In Windows XP, launch IExpress by going to Start >> Run and typing iexpress. Start a new project by selecting Create new Self Extraction Directive file and click Next.

Visual studio deployment project produce two file when built i.e: setup.exe and the .msi file. I need to make them into single-file executable installer. This reference is really useful. It turns out there's already a tool that exist in windows itself to combine several file installer into one : It is called IExpress.exe and reside on C:\Windows\System32.I had some notes in following the above references (and it's various links) :As the entry said, using setup.exe as an entry point does not work due to the "bug" introduced since visual studio 2008 (it was working in visual studio 2005). I currently use visual studio 2010 and it still not working too. However, the given solution using batch file did not directly working either when I tried. When executed by resulting exe the .bat file seems to have trouble with long file name while it is working when I tested the .bat file directly.Some trial and error later, it turns out that somehow the resulting .exe executed the .bat file using command.com and causing problems with file path. When I tested directly .bat, and working, it is executed by cmd.exe, that's why it behave differently. So in "Install Program to Launch" dialog, to ensure cmd.exe is used instead of command.com, instead of entering setup.bat, I called the command "cmd.exe /c setup.bat" as illustrated on the screenshot below. Also, for the cleanups, instead of using the refered codeproject reference that relatively complex, I used script that act as a pair of the setup.bat refered on the post and has content as below :RMDIR /S /Q "%Tmp%\[UNIQUE PRODUCT NAME]"and put it in Post Install Command field (using the same "cmd.exe /c" call as stated above). It is much simpler that way and utilize what's already provided by IExpress.

Iexpress.exe is the setup creation wizard that is available in the Windows operating system. This tool is made from a bunch of commands that help the users to create a single self-extracting package from a set of files. This executable file is part of the Windows Internet Explorer. However, by using this executable file, the user can convert the batch script (BAT) to the executable file (EXE). Follow the below steps to get an EXE file through iexpress.exe: 2b1af7f3a8
