Maybe false positive
« on: September 02, 2010, 05:21:42 PM »
I had written into avast! blog before I registered here.
I am a member of a Hungarian forum where we discuss about antivirus products (unfortunately, they don't like avast). Few days ago, somebody put in the forum a link that Avira blocked. We saw the site, and only my avast! blocked it, Norton, Kaspersky, NOD32, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, F-Secure didn't. A guy sent the link to Avira, Avira analysed it, and answered: the site is clean.
But in avast! blog, somebody said me that the main site contains two malicious codes.
The site: http://www.cinober.hu/
Analysis from Virustotal's link-analyser:
Firefox   Clean site
Google Safebrowsing   Clean site
Opera   Clean site
ParetoLogic   Clean site
Phishtank   Clean site
Smartscreen   Clean site
TRUSTe   Clean site


Ps: Sorry, my English is not so good.  :-\

Thank you!
But is seems not a very dangerous malware because not too many antiviruses know it.

It can't be new. The comment was written in 30th of August in the Hungarian forum which I mentioned.
There are lots of malicious codes that usually known by LOTS OF antiviruses (30 or higher), and avast often doesn't know them... :(

There is something very fishy about this page, first there is a huge chunk of obfuscated code at the start of the page, see image example, this goes on fro some way to the right and below.

Secondly there doesn't appear to be any conventional HTML coding for the page, all of the content appears to be imported using another obfuscated script tag. See image2 all of this is on a single line, which I have broken down to make it easier to view in the image.

See image3 which is the obfuscated script tag (in image2) and it generates no less than 3 iframe tags with a 1X1 pixel width and height, trying to hide. So all in all highly suspect. the 79.135.152.181 IP address to which these iframes point is in Latvia.

Thank you!
But is seems not a very dangerous malware because not too many antiviruses know it.

You will never know if it is dangerous or not as what is at the end of the targeted IP 79.135.152.181 could change on a daily or more frequent basis. What is being detected here is the exploitation and not the malware at the other end of the attack.

The Virustotal's link analyser finds the site clean; but avast! blocks it... So no changes...
