Stration/Warezov is Not Dead

by Jose Nazario

UPDATED to link to the F-Secure name map …

This year the Storm Worm (aka Peacomm aka Nuwar aka Tibs aka Zheltin), but we should not forget about good old Stration, the spam botnet that preceded Storm.

With Storm stealing all of the thunder this year, people seemed to think that Stration was whipped. Far from it, it’s still appearing, new variants are alive and the websites are still active.

Hey! Bai Ming is still around, and Dima Li is involved in a few of these domains, too. Awesome! Let’s see what kind of hosts we’re using here …

Fast-flux on the loose, there. Some more domain names that may or may not be related to Bai Ming but are certainly Stration …

  • providefunctionkeylin.com
  • threadexceptionkas.com
  • beruijindegunhadesun.com
  • uktinherpionsades.com
  • vaserjungenfujinas.com

This is just a few I found in a few minutes by looking at our data dumps. I’m sure more exist, and it’d be nice to NXDOMAIN them all.

Things you can look for to kill those domains:

  • If you have DNS admin access, kill those domains (become the SOA internally and NX them …)
  • If you have HTTP proxy logs, IDS logs, or something similar, look for HTTP POST actions to the script “/cgi-bin/pr.cgi” on those hosts.

ADDED ON 14 DECEMBER F-Secure’s domain list has been updated, they also note that Warezov has not died.
