It was brought to my attention ... that this API hashing tool is related to Trojan.Heriplor from Symantec's Dragonfly ... report. ... Symantec's Trojan.Heriplor analysis attributes my analysis of this API hashing tool to Energetic Bear.
2 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Lastly, I have reached out to the MITRE ATT&CK team to ask for an additional technique, API hashing, to be added to its framework... I've worked with the MITRE MAEC team to have API Hashing added to the Malware Behavior Catalog Matrix... listed as a Method under Anti-Static Analysis--Executable Code Obfuscation.
I determined that this exemplar uses manual symbol loading techniques, which are very similar to that of shellcode, to interact with the system through APIs. This process reads the Thread Environment Block (TEB) to find the pointer to Process Environment Block (PEB) structure. The PEB structure is then parsed to find the DllBase of kernel32.dll... The function then continues to parse the portable executable (PE) export data and passes the virtual protect hash...
