    The interesting thing about the kill-switch is that it's actually a poorly implemented sandbox test.
    Malware authors want to thwart security researchers for as long as possible to delay any attempt at a countermeasure, and one technique for doing so is refusing to run in any sandboxed virtual machine environment. Sandboxes for malware often give it everything they want in order to analyze it to the fullest extent possible: for instance, if something wants to access a domain, the sandbox will give it something to connect to, whether or not it exists on the real Internet. Thus, if WannaCrypt manages to connect to a domain that it thinks doesn't exist, it'll conclude that it's being monitored and self-terminate.
    Normally, malware of this kind randomly generates the domains to be checked, but the author of WannaCrypt hard-coded it into the program instead, meaning that since someone registered the domain in the real world, it always mistakenly thinks that it's being run in a VM, whether or not it actually is.

  • @sewertendo
    @sewertendo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    Just a tidbit on why XP was patched. It's because of companies that still use XP tend despite the vulnerabilities. They usually set up individual contracts with Microsoft for this type of thing so that they can have some kind of extended support, although usually they have some kind of endpoint based security that filters most of the uninvited stuff. Part of it is to cut costs, or because certain applications simply won't work with newer OSes (so it's not just the OS you would be changing). There have obviously been ransomware in the past, but normally the network layers of security would be sufficient for it. This is why XP got patched despite the lack of support.
    Unless you're one of these organizations, don't freakin' use XP.

    This malware uses two critical flaws. One is MS13-010 that has been patched for every Windows since XP/2003 (because someone still has Vista for some reason). The second is the fact companies take ages to release updates on their computers. My school, for example, has hundreds of Win7 Pro computers. They all haven't been updated since November 2016 (and today I'll go look if they have MS13-010)

    There's this interesting tool called Ransomfree, cold you consider testing it at some point with this malware to see if it works? It basically places bait files all around your computer and when it detects a ransomware messing with it it will try and stop it.

      Who knows, there is a possibility that one of the patches could be ported to XP again if another serious attack like this happens. There was another post EOL patch in May 2014.

      This has actually happened allegedly, but not with this ransomware
      Allegedly, the author of Rensenware, had to complete his own task (score 2 billion points on lunatic mode in TouHou) in order to decrypt his own files due to forgetting to run the program in a virtual machine.

    • @RMED24
      @RMED24 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      ​@@ChanceOfOne344254that's partially false actually. What really happened is that he did encrypt his files, so he used cheat engine to force the score required to unlock the files. He then developed a tool which did all this automatically for those who were affected by rensenware
