# Nmap Script to scan for Winnti infections

**github.com/TKCERT/winnti-nmap-script**

TKCERT

### This Nmap script can be used to scan hosts for Winnti infections. It uses parts of Winnti's protocol as seen in the wild in 2016/2017 to check for infection and gather additional information.

## Winnti

### Winnti is a malware that is used by some APT groups.

 It has been used since at least 2013 and has evolved over time. You can find some information here

## SecOps Warning

### WINNTI ONLY SUPPORTS ONE CONNECTION AT A TIME. IF YOU SCAN A HOST FOR WINNTI YOU WILL RESET THE CURRENT CONNECTION IF THERE IS ONE.


-----

## Requirements

### This script needs liblua 5.3 to work. You may want to download the latest Nmap version to get support out of the box (confirmed working with Nmap 7.25BETA2 and 7.60).

## Installation
```
user@mint ~/src $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TKCERT/winnti-nmapscript/master/winnti-detect.nse
user@mint ~/src $ wget https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.60.tar.bz2
user@mint ~/src $ tar xvf nmap-7.60.tar.bz2
user@mint ~/src $ cd nmap-7.60
user@mint ~/src/nmap-7.60 $ apt install build-essential
user@mint ~/src/nmap-7.60 $ ./configure && make

winnti-detect
Categories: malware safe
https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/winnti-detect.html
 The winnti-detect script checks if the host is backdoored by winnti rootkit. It
 sends a winnti command to the first three open TCP ports and checks the
 response. When the connection to one of these ports fails, the next port is
 chosen until three successful tries are completed. When a winnti infection is
 found the script gathers basic host information by sending a query to the
 backdoor and printing the response. Version 1.0, 2016-09-26
 *** SECOPS-WARNING ***
 Winnti only supports one connection at a time. If you scan a host for winnti
 you will reset the current connection if there is one.
 *** IMPORTANT ***
 Winnti installations may use different encryption keys. The default value
 included in this script is 0xABC18CBA (taken from a real sample).
 You can set a custom key with --script-args key=0x........
 The key must be given in big-endian.
