Hi !Donovan,

What did the shellcode there translate to? Is it a variant of what avast detects as JS:ShellCode-AF[Expl]?
See: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=99293.0

Shellcode , see attached image..
It checks for various OS browser config to infect with Shockwave flash plug-in malware...

Hi !Donovan,

How about this one (IDS is clear with all alerts): http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=82387
Here it is missed: http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/06768700d558a42f1768359dbc0d1fc3-1341430078

The reason Zulu missed is likely because the content of the URL couldn't be retrieved, hence HTTP Status Code: 500 Server Unavailable.

I had to resort to my old HTML viewer. All other advanced HTML fetching programs returned a 302 error. So I also confirm this.

After finally getting the code, I was able to upload to VirusTotal. Results:

Hi !Donovan,

As I reported to you pseudo random domains are now being blocked by the avast Network shield.
I am delighted avast has us all protected here.

Another one with a block of malcious obfuscated script: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=83006  12 x IDS alert
Code there is heavily obfuscated JavaScript and is hosting a BlackHole Exploit Kit
The BlackHole Exploit Kit is serving the following exploits:
Java Rhino | Java OBE | PDF ALL | PDF LIBTIFF | HCP | FLASH
Sucuri finds it: http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/afisha76.ru/acinfo.html  and detects MW:ANOMALY:SP7 malware

Hi Left123,

Thanks for that. An image can say more on malcode than thousands of words,

Sucuri defines MW:ANOMALY:SP7 as suspicious, so I assume that they do not have any records for this malware at hand..yet.

Only 1 detect here: https://www.virustotal.com/file/eecaab8dd661421a1731e0baff23827e17a272de98de6ce3dbed6f00d60e933b/analysis/1341502238/

Edit: As for the BlackHole Landing Page: https://www.virustotal.com/file/8602f7d47c9ae4cd90743760ae4d7238d87fc8ce236c7e639a6b64b4d71c7154/analysis/1341503045/

Hi !Donovan,

Thanks for keeping a finger onto the pulse of that VT detection for us.
Now you probably see how important it was when urlquery brought that Emerging Threats IDS in
and in a second instance snort IDS to their scanning engine.
It really detects a lot of anomalous patterns in webtraffic vital for early detection of these undetected sites and their malicious patterns.
Html and script analysis also will turn the light on the nature of these sites (Sucuri),
but I find a lot are still going under the normal av solution/anti-malware radar for too long,

@Polonus
Indeed, the new IDS alerts are very useful. :)

I also agree with you. The AV industry need to be more proactive in detecting these exploits.
