Cerber (Crypto-Ransomware)

[Malekal_morte]

Cerber est un Crypto-Ransomware (rançongiciel chiffreur de fichiers) apparu fin Février 2016 qui vise essentiellement les systèmes d'exploitation Windows et les partages de réseau. Cerber est différent en ce sens qu'il porte ce type de menace à un niveau bien supérieur aux autres rançongiciels actuellement diffusés. ( lire : Cerber donne la chair de poule aux victimes ).

Présentation du ransomware Cerber

Comme tous les ransomwares issues de groupes professionnels, ce dernier évolue dans le temps.
Actuellement, nous en sommes à la version 6.
Voici un résume de tous les campagnes et versions.

Initialement, Cerber modifie les extensions de fichiers chiffrés en .cerber et dépose les fichiers:

# DECRYPT MY FILES #.txt
# DECRYPT MY FILES #.html
# DECRYPT MY FILES #.vbs

Première variante du ransomware Cerber en vidéo :


Dernière variante :

• Extensions aléatoires
• instructions en français avec des fichiers .hta

Les instructions de paiements sont sur le réseau TOR.
Vous devez acheter en Bitcoin le Cerber Decryptor.

Le ransomware Cerber évolue et est de plus en plus sophistiqué pour échapper aux détections antivirus ou programme anti-ransomware.
La dernière version est la version 6.
Voici un tableau qui récapitule les techniques de contournement antivirus :

Comment le ransomware Cerber est distribué

Toujours par les mêmes méthodes, on retrouve notamment :

• des Web Exploits via des Malvertising (publicités malicieuses)
• des Campagnes de mails malicieux

Le schéma suivant récapitule la second partie à travers des campagnes de mails malicieux et des scripts malveillants (Comment se protéger des scripts malicieux sur Windows).

  Cannot you find the files you need?
  Is the content of the files that you looked for not readable?
  
  It is normal because the files' names, as well as the data in your files
  have been encrypted.
  
  Great!!!
  You have turned to be a part of a big community #CerberRansomware.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  !!!  If you are reading this message it means the software
  !!!  "Cerber Ransomware" has been removed from your computer.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  What is encryption?
  -------------------
  
  Encryption is a reversible modification of information for security
  reasons but providing full access to it for authorized users.
  
  To become an authorized user and keep the modification absolutely
  reversible (in other words to have a possibility to decrypt your files)
  you should have an individual private key.
  
  But not only it.
  
  It is required also to have the special decryption software
  (in your case "Cerber Decryptor" software) for safe and complete
  decryption of all your files and data.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  Everything is clear for me but what should I do?
  ------------------------------------------------
  
  The first step is reading these instructions to the end.
  
  Your files have been encrypted with the "Cerber Ransomware" software; the
  instructions ("# DECRYPT MY FILES #.html" and "# DECRYPT MY FILES #.txt")
  in the folders with your encrypted files are not viruses, they will
  help you.
  
  After reading this text the most part of people start searching in the
  Internet the words the "Cerber Ransomware" where they find a lot of
  ideas, recommendations and instructions.
  
  It is necessary to realize that we are the ones who closed the lock on
  your files and we are the only ones who have this secret key to
  open them.
  
  !!!  Any attempts to get back your files with the third-party tools can
  !!!  be fatal for your encrypted files.
  
  The most part of the third-party software change data within the
  encrypted file to restore it but this causes damage to the files.
  
  Finally it will be impossible to decrypt your files.
  
  When you make a puzzle but some items are lost, broken or not put in its
  place - the puzzle items will never match, the same way the third-party
  software will ruin your files completely and irreversibly.
  
  You should realize that any intervention of the third-party software to
  restore files encrypted with the "Cerber Ransomware" software may be
  fatal for your files.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  !!!  There are several plain steps to restore your files but if you do
  !!!  not follow them we will not be able to help you, and we will not try
  !!!  since you have read this warning already.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  For your information the software to decrypt your files (as well as the
  private key provided together) are paid products.

  What should you do with these addresses?
  ----------------------------------------
  
  If you read the instructions in TXT format (if you have instruction in
  HTML (the file with an icon of your Internet browser) then the easiest
  way is to run it):
  
  1.  take a look at the first address (in this case it is
      http://decrypttozxybarc.dconnect.eu/3EB9-22E4-0759-0301-8A8F);
  
  2.  select it with the mouse cursor holding the left mouse button and
      moving the cursor to the right;
  
  3.  release the left mouse button and press the right one;
  
  4.  select "Copy" in the appeared menu;
  
  5.  run your Internet browser (if you do not know what it is run the
      Internet Explorer);
  
  6.  move the mouse cursor to the address bar of the browser (this is the
      place where the site address is written);
  
  7.  click the right mouse button in the field where the site address
      is written;
  
  8.  select the button "Insert" in the appeared menu;
  
  9.  then you will see the address
      http://decrypttozxybarc.dconnect.eu/3EB9-22E4-0759-0301-8A8F
      appeared there;
  
  10. press ENTER;
  
  11. the site should be loaded; if it is not loaded repeat the same
      instructions with the second address and continue until the last
      address if falling.
  
  If for some reason the site cannot be opened check the connection to the
  Internet; if the site still cannot be opened take a look at the
  instructions on omitting the point about working with the addresses in
  the HTML instructions.
  
  If you browse the instructions in HTML format:
  
  1.  click the left mouse button on the first address (in this case it is
      http://decrypttozxybarc.dconnect.eu/3EB9-22E4-0759-0301-8A8F);
  
  2.  in a new tab or window of your web browser the site should be loaded;
      if it is not loaded repeat the same instructions with the second
      address and continue until the last address.
  
  If for some reason the site cannot be opened check the connection to
  the Internet.

  "install tor browser windows" and you will find a lot of training videos
  about Tor Browser installation and operation.
  
  If TOR address is not available for a long period (2-3 days) it means you
  are late; usually you have about 2-3 weeks after reading the instructions
  to restore your files.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  Additional information:
  
  You will find the instructions for restoring your files in those folders
  where you have your encrypted files only.
  
  The instructions are made in two file formats - HTML and TXT for
  your convenience.
  
  Unfortunately antivirus companies cannot protect or restore your files
  but they can make the situation worse removing the instructions how to
  restore your encrypted files.
  
  The instructions are not viruses; they have informative nature only, so
  any claims on the absence of any instruction files you can send to your
  antivirus company.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  Cerber Ransomware Project is not malicious and is not intended to harm a
  person and his/her information data.
  
  The project is created for the sole purpose of instruction regarding
  information security, as well as certification of antivirus software for
  their suitability for data protection.
  
  Together we make the Internet a better and safer place.
  
  
  #########################################################################
  
  
  If you look through this text in the Internet and realize that something
  is wrong with your files but you do not have any instructions to restore
  your files, please, contact your antivirus support.

  What should you do with these addresses?
  ----------------------------------------
  
  If you read the instructions in TXT format (if you have instruction in
  HTML (the file with an icon of your Internet browser) then the easiest
  way is to run it):
  
  1.  take a look at the first address (in this case it is
      http://cerberhhyed5frqa.xmfhr6.win/38A1-5B33-80D3-0072-8421);
  
  2.  select it with the mouse cursor holding the left mouse button and
      moving the cursor to the right;
  
  3.  release the left mouse button and press the right one;
  
  4.  select "Copy" in the appeared menu;
  
  5.  run your Internet browser (if you do not know what it is run the
      Internet Explorer);
  
  6.  move the mouse cursor to the address bar of the browser (this is the
      place where the site address is written);
  
  7.  click the right mouse button in the field where the site address
      is written;
  
  8.  select the button "Insert" in the appeared menu;
  
  9.  then you will see the address
      http://cerberhhyed5frqa.xmfhr6.win/38A1-5B33-80D3-0072-8421
      appeared there;
  
  10. press ENTER;
  
  11. the site should be loaded; if it is not loaded repeat the same
      instructions with the second address and continue until the last
      address if falling.
  
  If for some reason the site cannot be opened check the connection to the
  Internet; if the site still cannot be opened take a look at the
  instructions on omitting the point about working with the addresses in
  the HTML instructions.
  
  If you browse the instructions in HTML format:
  
  1.  click the left mouse button on the first address (in this case it is
      http://cerberhhyed5frqa.xmfhr6.win/38A1-5B33-80D3-0072-8421);
  
  2.  in a new tab or window of your web browser the site should be loaded;
      if it is not loaded repeat the same instructions with the second
      address and continue until the last address.
  
  If for some reason the site cannot be opened check the connection to
  the Internet.
