Analysis of Recent Storm Worm Packer

05.08.08 Websense Security Labs has been tracing the storm worm since early 2007, when the first wave of storm worm erupted in the wild. Storm worm is one of the most notorious malware programs seen during the years 2007 and 2008. Websense Security Labs has published many research results on it, such as Storm Worm Chronology, which was written by my colleague Nick Verenini.

Most variants of storm worms are packed with the custom packer "Tibs". Tibs packer is a polymorphic packer, which also has the capability of anti-emulation. Recently we encountered a wave of stormcodec8.exe. When we carried on an analysis for this variant, we found some interesting features in it. Below are some highlights of our analysis.
