Threat: Backdoor.Win32.FTP.Simpel.12
Vulnerability: Insecure Crypto
Description: The malware listens on TCP port 22, authentication is required to access the server. However, the password hash "!supernova" is stored within the executable using an insecure MD5 hash algorithm and no salt. MD5 is a basic purpose fast hash (not slow) and not using salt allows attackers that gain access to the hash ability to conduct faster cracking attacks using pre-computed dictionaries. Finally, the password is easily recovered as it is a known password hash which can be found online. Third-party intruders who successfully gain access then may be able to upload executables which may result in remote code execution.
E.g.
Name=cRaCkeN
Pass=E13820BEDF2B31E01B2C7E59404B1FB7 = !supernova
