During Infection. ================= When WannaCry is first run, the process take a fair bit of time (about a minute on my VM) before all files are encrypted. Firstly, it creates a bunch of files in its initial directory: b.wnry = background image c.wnry = tor browser link f.wnry = list of files (“free” list?) r.wnry = “your files are encrypted” text s.wnry = zip file of tor thingy t.wnry = looks like zipped file u.wnry = contains RSA2 and “mail to” stuff /msg folder and fills this with different files containing shitty message in different languages.

t also creates the following which are crypto key related: 00000000.eky 00000000.pky 00000000.res And the following that I couldn’t be bothered about investigating: taskdl.exe taskse.exe @WanaDecryptor@.exe

@echo off echo SET ow = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)> m.vbs echo SET om = ow.CreateShortcut(“%s%s”)>> m.vbs echo om.TargetPath = “%s%s”>> m.vbs echo om.Save>> m.vbs cscript.exe //nologo m.vbs del m.vbs

The following registry entry is created: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WanaCrypt0r but the key I cannot remember. Either sd or md or wd or something. The following registry entry is read too: [insert key here – I can’t remember it – it is the RSA provider key held at “SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Crypto provider” or something] …or just look at this… Stack SS:[0012F7B8]=001546A0, (ASCII “SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider\”) EDI=00154730, (ASCII “Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider (Prototype)”)

Also, the computer name and also user accounts (S-1-5-etc.) are read and stored. 0012F39C 0012F3A8 šó . UNICODE “S-1-5-XX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXX” (no, the X’s weren’t on the original pasting)

So, once these files have been created, the following steps are run for each ‘victim’ file it wants to encrypt:

  • Get size of file.ext (in hex)

  • Get times of file.ext (creation,access,modify)

  • Reads 8 bytes from file

  • Creates file.ext.WNCRYT

  • Writes 8 bytes containing “WANACRY!” to file.ext.WNCRYT

  • Writes 4 bytes containing hex “00 01 00 00” to file.ext.WNCRYT (this didn’t change in my tests)


0012E008 00 01 00 00 . .
  • Writes 0x100 (256) bytes to file.ext.WNCRYT (obviously, this changes)

  • Writes 4 bytes to file.ext.WNCRYT
  • (guessing it was 04 00 00 00) or something, maybe a counter?
  • Writes 8 bytes (size of file as this matches original file count in hex) to file.ext.WNCRYT
  • 0012E034 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 …….
  • Reads 1048576 bytes from file.ext (guessing this is done in “blocks”, a bit like several encryption algorithms… 😉)
  • ***ENCRYPTION OCCURS*** follow:
  • 10002055 E8 E6480000 CALL 10006940
  • ***** AFTER ENCRYPTION *****
  • Writes 32 bytes to file.ext.WNCRYT

  • Sets the file time of file.ext.WNCRYT to what was stored earlier

  • Closes file handle for file.ext

  • Changes extension from file.ext.WNCRYT to file.ext.WNCRY
  • Sets file attributes of file.ext.WNCRY to “NORMAL”

  • Reopens file.ext

  • Gets file size of file.ext

  • Uses CryptGenRandom with the below to acquire data the size of file.

  • Writes “random” data to file.ext
  • Flushes file buffer of file.ext

  • Set file pointer to 0 null
  • Writes “random” data to file (again)? – makes no difference to file or timestamp.

  • Close file handle.
  • So, in a nutshell it: copies an encrypted version of the file encapsulated with its own details of the file then overwites the original file with random data before deleting it. Sneaky bastards trying to get round those wanting to get back the file with forensic software such as Foremost and Scalpel.
    Which files are affected? ========================== WannaCry only targets files that have the following extensions:
    .der .pfx .key .crt .csr .p12 .pem .odt .ott .sxw .stw .uot .3ds .max .3dm .ods .ots .sxc .stc .dif .slk .wb2 .odp .otp .sxd .std .uop .odg .otg .sxm .mml .lay .lay6 .asc .sqlite3 .sqlitedb .sql .accdb .mdb .db .dbf .odb .frm .myd .myi .ibd .mdf .ldf .sln .suo .cs .c .cpp .pas .h .asm .js .cmd .bat .ps1 .vbs .vb .pl .dip .dch .sch .brd .jsp .php .asp .rb .java .jar .class .sh .mp3 .wav .swf .fla .wmv .mpg .vob .mpeg .asf .avi .mov .mp4 .3gp .mkv .3g2 .flv .wma .mid .m3u .m4u .djvu .svg .ai .psd .nef .tiff .tif .cgm .raw .gif .png .bmp .jpg .jpeg .vcd .iso .backup .zip .rar .7z .gz .tgz .tar .bak .tbk .bz2 .PAQ .ARC .aes .gpg .vmx .vmdk .vdi .sldm .sldx .sti .sxi .602 .hwp .snt .onetoc2 .dwg .pdf .wk1 .wks .123 .rtf .csv .txt .vsdx .vsd .edb .eml .msg .ost .pst .potm .potx .ppam .ppsx .ppsm .pps .pot .pptm .pptx .ppt .xltm .xltx .xlc .xlm .xlt .xlw .xlsb .xlsm .xlsx .xls .dotx .dotm .dot .docm .docb .docx .doc And that’s about it.
