RE: [Declude.Virus] More info about encrypted RAR virus and Declude failures

2007-05-07 Thread Gary Steiner
I received a message over the weekend from Declude stating that my ticket on 
this issue has been closed.  When I read it, I assumed this meant that Declude 
has fixed the bug and has released a version that is now able to detect 
encrypted RAR files.  When will we be able to download this newly fixed version?

 Has anyone worked out a way to ban small RAR files that would contain the

RE: [Declude.Virus] More info about encrypted RAR virus and Declude failures

2007-05-02 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
Without offering up the exact how-to, I can point out that the SIZE test
and a BODY CONTAINS combination would likely help in Declude JunkMail,
and that you would have to stop banning RAR files in Declude EVA.

Judicious use of the SIZE test would help Gary to HOLD only small RAR
files, whether encrypted or not.

Meanwhile, a strategy of chasing BODY and SUBJECT lines in Declude
JunkMail text filters would help to target this worm, as this family
heavily recycles their own text.  Using 

BODY CONTAINS Subject: yadda

Fragments also helps to catch annoying blowback as your users get
automatic responses from 3rd party email servers that naively believed
the MAILFROM was not a fake.

Andrew.

BANEXT rar has been working great for me.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt
Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 11:36 PM
To: declude.virus@declude.com
Subject: [Declude.Virus] More info about encrypted RAR virus and Declude 
failures

I have downloaded a copy of the virus and inspected it.  The file is a 
functional encrypted RAR with an EXE inside of the same file name.  I also 
researched why Declude might not be catching this and I believe that I know why.

Declude will properly detect an executable within a RAR file and the fact that 
the file is encrypted.  I verified this with my own test on a file that I 
encrypted.  The problem however is the fact that you can also encrypt the file 
name within a RAR and not just the file.  The virus that was being spammed 
encrypted both the file name and the file, so Declude likely got hung up on 
trying to extract the name from the RAR.

Note to Dave.  This took me all of 30 minutes to figure out.  Unfortunately 
there is somewhat of a conundrum here as you will need to introduce new 
functionality in order to handle this appropriately.  While I don't expect that 
RAR files will be commonly used for viruses due to the rarity of the client, it 
is definitely necessary to allow users to block encrypted RAR's when the file 
names are not extractable.  I have a recommendation for how to handle this 
which would be quite consistent with current behavior and possibly help with 
unexpected conditions with ZIP's too:
For both encrypted ZIP's and encrypted RAR's where the file names can't be 
extracted, assume that it contains an EXE.  This will allow for those that want 
to block all encrypted files and those that only want to block them when there 
is an executable inside to maintain proper levels of protection.

Let me know if you would like some more feedback or information.

Thanks,

Matt

BANEXT RAR will block all RAR files, encrypted or not.  That wasn't the 
issue at hand here.  It was related to BANEZIPEXTSON (in my case) 
and possibly BANEZIPON.

Declude failures


 

I have downloaded a copy of the virus and inspected it.  The file is a 
functional encrypted RAR with an EXE inside of the same file name.  I 
also researched why Declude might not be catching this and I believe 
that I know why.


Declude will properly detect an executable within a RAR file and the 
fact that the file is encrypted.  I verified this with my own test on 
a file that I encrypted.  The problem however is the fact that you can 
also encrypt the file name within a RAR and not just the file.  The 
virus that was being spammed encrypted both the file name and the 
file, so Declude likely got hung up on trying to extract the name from 
the RAR.


Note to Dave.  This took me all of 30 minutes to figure out.  
Unfortunately there is somewhat of a conundrum here as you will need 
to introduce new functionality in order to handle this appropriately.  
While I don't expect that RAR files will be commonly used for viruses 
due to the rarity of the client, it is definitely necessary to allow 
users to block encrypted RAR's when the file names are not 
extractable.  I have a recommendation for how to handle this which 
would be quite consistent with current behavior and possibly help with 
unexpected conditions with ZIP's too:


For both encrypted ZIP's and encrypted RAR's where the file names 
can't be extracted, assume that it contains an EXE.  This will allow 
for those that want to block all encrypted files and those that only 
want to block them when there is an executable inside to maintain 
proper levels of protection.



Let me know if you would like some more feedback or information.

Thanks,

Matt

 Until Declude resolves the issue with BANEXT EZIP, I've had to ban all
 rar files.  Unfortunately some of my customers regularly send rar
 attachments, so I've had to check the virus hold directory on a regular
 basis and manually resubmit any false positives there.

Instead of manually checking for legit files, use the BANEXT.eml file to
send a postmaster message that you get and/or the recipient and/or sender
get and that notice can be reviewed a lot easier than manually checking the
hold directory.

It's not that difficult.  The legitimate messages with rar attachments are big 
(usually 10MB and up) so it's not hard to separate them from the image spam and 
common viruses being held in the virus directory.

As mentioned by Craig in an earlier post, it would be nice if Declude added the 
capability to skip banning on files of large size.

You may be able to do something with the MSGSIZE test in conjunction with
AVAFTERJM ON eg.

SIZE-10MB   msgsize 10240   x   -50 0
