Hagme2902.rar
Based on general patterns in malware analysis and archive-based threats, here is a write-up structure to investigate this file: 1. Static Analysis (Initial Findings)
Running the sample in a sandbox like ANY.RUN or Hybrid Analysis would reveal its actions:
: Does opening the RAR trigger cmd.exe , powershell.exe , or sc.exe to create new services?. Hagme2902.rar
: Look for the creation of files in the Startup directory or registry keys meant to maintain access after a reboot.
: Investigate if the archive attempts to exploit CVE-2023-38831 , a high-profile WinRAR vulnerability where opening a file in a specially crafted archive can execute a hidden malicious script. 2. Behavioral Analysis (Dynamic Sandbox) Based on general patterns in malware analysis and
: Check for connections to suspicious domains (e.g., .xyz TLDs) or hardcoded IP addresses. Some samples use "finder" tools to test internet connectivity before reaching out to a Command & Control (C2) server. 3. Indicator of Compromise (IoC) Patterns
: Verify the file is a valid Roshal ARchive (RAR) . : Investigate if the archive attempts to exploit
: Calculate the CRC32 or BLAKE2sp hashes to identify individual files within the archive.
