It contains a namespace named "prelecturedexe" and a class named "Program." This ransomware is invoked using the following command-line format: -- Begin command format -- prelecturedexe.exe -- End command format -- The execution will quit if 4 arguments are not used. This ransomware uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. When executed, it uses a command-line argument as a component for the AES Rijndael Key and initialization vector (IV). are files and directories to be encrypted/decrypted. It reads a file named "*.nike2018" in the same directory where this executable resides. If the file "*.nike2018" does not exist, the execution quits. It removes "*.nike2018" after it reads the file content. d8d919d884b86e4d5977598bc9d637ed53e21d5964629d0427077e08ddbcba68 Tags ransomwaretrojan Details Name proteusdlll.dll Size 409600 bytes Type PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows MD5 fe3ae84a8defc809e734bbd0736f82de SHA1 04a2ea4c78f78d628800c0a5cb9547a0c0b14378 SHA256 d8d919d884b86e4d5977598bc9d637ed53e21d5964629d0427077e08ddbcba68 SHA512 9cb6ddb8a0b9329fe08fcf8a02d45c43222432d6e145f55deacb019f772970513d3ddfa589a002c0abf190fa8712d41e08aab51836685aed9bf30d118ea00a5e ssdeep 3072:Sa6J+OIazQ94ZPaqa7YHmIZwUSToQemTIC6:A+OIa094ZPRakH/+USE Entropy 4.645654 Antivirus Ahnlab Trojan/Win32.MSILKrypt Antiy Trojan/MSIL.Runner Avira TR/Runner.pjtvf BitDefender Gen:Variant.Ursu.265937 ClamAV Win.Ransomware.Samsam-6482588-0 Cyren W32/Trojan.NADV-8499 ESET a variant of MSIL/Runner.N trojan Emsisoft Gen:Variant.Ursu.265937 (B) Ikarus Trojan.MSIL.Runner K7 Trojan ( 0053adaa1 ) McAfee RDN/Generic.dx Microsoft Security Essentials Trojan:MSIL/Runner Quick Heal Trojan.IGENERIC Sophos Troj/Kryptik-IS Symantec Trojan.Gen.2 Zillya!

Any configuration changes should be reviewed by system owners and administrators prior to implementation to avoid unwanted impacts. Maintain up-to-date antivirus signatures and engines. Keep operating system patches up-to-date. Disable File and Printer sharing services. If these services are required, use strong passwords or Active Directory authentication. Restrict users' ability (permissions) to install and run unwanted software applications. Do not add users to the local administrators group unless required. Enforce a strong password policy and implement regular password changes. Exercise caution when opening e-mail attachments even if the attachment is expected and the sender appears to be known. Enable a personal firewall on agency workstations, configured to deny unsolicited connection requests. Disable unnecessary services on agency workstations and servers. Scan for and remove suspicious e-mail attachments; ensure the scanned attachment is its "true file type" (i.e., the extension matches the file header). Monitor users' web browsing habits; restrict access to sites with unfavorable content. Exercise caution when using removable media (e.g., USB thumbdrives, external drives, CDs, etc.). Scan all software downloaded from the Internet prior to executing. Maintain situational awareness of the latest threats and implement appropriate ACLs. Additional information on malware incident prevention and handling can be found in NIST's Special Publication 800-83, Guide to Malware Incident Prevention & Handling for Desktops and Laptops.
