Last week Cisco's Talos security team found a modular malware system that they dubbed 'VPNFilter.' This piece of malware originally thought infected 500,000 consumer grade network routers that span over in 54 countries. This malware could be used for a range of nefarious purposes. Please click on the following link VPNFilter Malware to get more information in regards to the update.
The system will then ask the Filter Control Provider to update the current set of rules and place them in a location on disk that is readable from the Filter Data Provider extension.

- Hi Community, looking for help with Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client 4.5.04029. On my work laptop, IT forced deploy of Win10 update 1709. The update script removed and reinstalled Anyconnect. After the update, NAM service won't start.
- Introduction Cisco Talos, while working with our various intelligence partners, has discovered additional details regarding 'VPNFilter.' In the days since we first published our findings on the campaign, we have seen that VPNFilter is targeting more makes/models of devices than initially thought, and has additional capabilities, including the ability to deliver exploits to endpoints.
- When multiple filter sets are selected with the VPN 5000 Manager, the filter sets will be concatenated in the device from first to last (top to bottom on screen). Any IP network not explicitly allowed by the rules will not be included in the routing table on input or in the routing update on output.
A few questions that may come to mind is how does it infect my device? Well from what we can tell the devices that are targeted are known to be using the default credentials. Those are the credentials that you the user use to log into the device. Also, it is known to target devices that already have known exploits on them. From what Talos security team has said, there is no indicator that the recent zero-day virus was involved with spreading the current malware.
What does the malware due to an infected device? Quick short answer is that VPNFilter is 'multi-staged.' The first stage is used to install the malware and to ensure that its presence is persisted and doesn't go away. The second stage is where the payload is deployed, which is capable of file collection, extract data, such as passwords you use on websites. Executing commands, which one of those commands can render the device unusable. A new stage has been found 'Stage 3.' What happens in this stage is that an 'ssler' module is used to intercept all traffic going through the device on port 80. What this really means is that an attacker can basically spy on and perform a man in the middle attack.
The final stage, stage 4 adds a kill command to any devices that have gone on to stage 2. If this command is executed it will remove all traces of the VPNFilter before bricking the device. Meaning that the attacker has already gathered all the information that it needs before removing its footprint from your network. What is alarming about both stage 3 and 4, is that it provides the attacker with the means of moving beyond your router and into your internal network.
Finally, the next question that is being asked is, what do I do if my device has been compromised? First things first, you are advised to reboot your router immediately. If your device has been infected the reboot will remove Stage 2 and Stage 3 modules that are on your device. Even after the reboot if the VPNFilter is still present, the next step would be do due a factory reset, which will restore the device to its original settings at the time you took it out of the box and remove any traces of the VPNFilter malware.
The purpose of this malware is unknown currently, but seeing the capabilities of what it can do, we can be safe to assume that the attacker has plans on using it destructively, which gives them also the ability to cover up their evidence of possibly other attacks.
At Teknewlogic Consulting we also advise users that if a current firmware is available to make sure that you download and install it on your device. Users should also not use the default username/password to log into your device. Make sure that you change it! Also, if you currently have enabled your device to be management remotely it is advisable that you turn that feature off. If you have questions and worried that your device may be compromised please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would be happy to help assist you.
