  Recently we came across a tweet shared by petikvx . The tweet was on a ransomware family that had the group name similar to the WARLOCK DARK ARMY. The similarities with Chaos ransomware seem to end with the attacker group’s name. Upon analyzing the ransomware from the tweet we suspect both to be very different groups just based on their malware’s attributes. The sample under consideration was compiled using C/C++, in case of Chaos ransomware it is usually .Net. Statically looking at the file we noticed a resource entry under Bitmap with an identifier “14”, while analyzing the file code we noticed that this resource was read and loaded on to the memory. Hence we decided to dump that resource entry. Figure 1: Encrypted blob in resource section Figure 2 : Loading blob into the memory During our code analysis we found this blob was XOR encrypted. The first 16 bytes of this blob acts as the key for XOR decryption and the rest is the data which plays a key role in this ransomware’s in...
