John will share the MGH Brigham story of Strategic Energy Planning, Resilience Planning and their progressive approach to energy and carbon reduction for the large and complex portfolio of buildings that make up MGH Brigham (Formerly Partners). The journey to this progressive approach is a story worth hearing, including how healthcare clients think about healthy buildings and their role in the larger community. John is an insightful leader of capital projects and has been an ongoing participant in the BSA, the BSA Board and National Design Community.

Simply distributing malware is not a viable strategy anymore for criminal actors. To combat the ever increasing defense mechanisms, malicious loaders are used. These loaders are meant to conceal the final payload from the prying eyes of anti-virus and anti-malware scanners. Even though these loaders are used over and over, they are often overlooked.

For this exact reason, as well as the fact that the CyaX-Sharp loader (also known as ReZer0) has interesting capabilities, this research focuses on a loader. Whilst being able to load any type of Windows executable, CyaX-Sharp is most often used to drop stealers. This talk provides insight into the loader’s inner workings, the flaw in its payload decryption routine, and an automatic payload and configuration extraction program. After the more technical segment, information will be given about the found samples, and the observed trends within the data.

Because the decrypted payload is stored in a static byte array, and the loader’s configuration is stored in a static string array, they can be extracted using the built-in Dot Net reflection methods without executing the sample, it only needs to be loaded. The automatic extraction makes it possible to parse samples in bulk, which creates the perfect environment to start hunting for more samples.

Using Yara rules that match CyaX-Sharp samples, both older and new samples have been uncovered. These results provide detailed information regarding the amount of samples that have been observed over time, totaling several hundreds. The distribution of the payload’s malware families, the average loader settings, as well as different loader versions, will all be discussed in great detail.
