Malwarebytes protects users by blocking, detecting, and removing Trojan.Agent.NSIS. Malwarebytes can detect and remove Trojan.Agent.NSIS without further user interaction. Reboot the system if prompted to complete the removal process. Please download Malwarebytes to your desktop.
We will statically unpack and emulate a malicious NSIS installer running multiple shellcodes, up to the final Lokibot password stealer and its configuration.
Such details provide a deeper understanding and appreciation for Preventing Malware From Spreading Through Infected Nsis Files.
Some people sadly use NSIS to distribute their malware. Even though most modern anti-virus vendors know how to extract and scan files from NSIS installers, some of them still generate signatures on the installer stub itself instead of the files in it.
Furthermore, visual representations like the one above help us fully grasp the concept of Preventing Malware From Spreading Through Infected Nsis Files.
t McAfee Labs we recently observed various threat families using the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS). This practice is not new, but our analysis shows that several malware families are employing the same technique to hide their packed executable code.
NSIS installer-type malware strains have been used a lot by attackers. The type introduced in this post includes multiple malicious files in a single installer: running one file will infect the system with various malware strains.
