[QUOTE="SkeletalDemise, post: 1055580, member: 103400"] Kaspersky added signatures for NvStTest.exe [URL unfurl="true"]https://opentip.kaspersky.com/552F9C111BDF18479B2195933649B8DBF80D65113B6D8743ECC9562A4E065A77/results?tab=upload[/URL] As for why it's so hard to detect: • the installer is signed • the payload is encoded and encrypted • it uses a legitimate NVIDIA program to load the malware (although it appears to be modified) • it installs a legitimate music player and runs it (Nulloy.exe is not malicious, it's the same exe from the release on GitHub) I found the same version of NvStTest.exe online and it's signed by NVIDIA. You can look at the differences. Legitimate exe: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d799c32ddea3e0fa8219563d0b662cfe759231cfb90b23e60bf75a53f1391cd1/detection[/URL] Modified exe dropped and used by the malware: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/552f9c111bdf18479b2195933649b8dbf80d65113b6d8743ecc9562a4e065a77/detection[/URL] [/QUOTE]
