antiVM ida pro plugin

Description

The antiVM aims to quickly identify anti-virtual machine and anti-sandbox behavior. This can speed up malware analysis.

This antiVM.rules is based on an extension of here. Then, using the al-khaser to test and enrich the rules.

Unfortunately, the al-khaser don not provide release any more. You can find this in this repo.

How to use

Just put the antiVM.py and antiVM.rules in your ida7.x plugins directory and here we go.

Before using the plugin you must install the python Yara module:pip install yara-python

The plugin can be launched from the menu using Edit->Plugins->antiVM or using Ctrl-Alt-A

some todo

some yara rules are broad like this one. This may bring some false positives.

rule sandBox_usernames {
    meta:
        Author = "jentle"
        reference = "https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/gootkit-banking-trojan-deep-dive-anti-analysis-features/"

    strings:
        $s1="CurrentUser" wide
		$s2="Sandbox" wide
		$s3="Emily" wide
		$s4="HAPUBWS" wide
		$s5="Hong Lee" wide
		$s6="IT-ADMIN" wide
		$s7="milozs" wide
		$s8="Peter Wilson" wide
		$s9="timmy" wide
		$s10="user" wide
		$s11="sand box" wide
		$s12="malware" wide
		$s13="maltest" wide
		$s14="test user" wide
		$s15="virus" wide
    condition:
        any of them
}

So some malicious behavior rules will be expanded in the future. And more IOA need to be collected.
