DDoS and Security Reports

Welcome to “All Storm, All the Time!”, this time we delve into the malware that loves us.

I just got this email while I was out to lunch. I suspected Storm, so I grabbed it and sure enough, inspection reveals it’s a pointer to a storm node.

And here’s what the page looks like when you visit it:

And decoding JavaScript we see the real link:

> [a href="withlove.exe">


If you click on the heart you’re prompted to download “with_love.exe”. Sample I fetched (I fetched both, they’re basically identical):


MD5: fd5246f37941849b1300643c90638f50
SHA1: aae1f533f0f208a8a2a4770a9d989a1cd3797f46
File type: MS Windows PE
File size: 114689 bytes


Analysis shows it’s a normal storm worm.

Peerlist dropped as C:\WINDOWS\system32\burito.ini
Drops C:\WINDOWS\system32\burito3547-7d31.sys I suspect the digits and the hex values are random, not sure if the “burito” is from a dictionary or static.

Subject lines seen so far:

• A Toast My Love
• Your Love Has Opened
• Sending You My Love
