# Malware Static Analysis Report

## ⚠️ Important Caveat First

This decompiled code is **heavily obfuscated** with a technique that produces large amounts of "dead arithmetic." Most of the function body consists of meaningless calculations involving constant-returning helper functions (`sub_180010DD0` → 0, `sub_180010DE0` → 2, `sub_180010E00` → 6, etc.). These constants are used to build **opaque predicates** — branch conditions whose outcome is always the same — to confuse analysts and decompilers. I will strip this noise and report only what is functionally meaningful.

---

## 1. Functional Description

Once the obfuscation is removed, the function reduces to a simple, recognizable routine:

```c
char sub_180001030(__int128 *a1, __int64 a2)
{
    WCHAR Filename[264];
    WCHAR *basename = Filename;

    GetModuleFileNameW(0, Filename, 0x104);   // get own executable path

    // find last '\' or '/' in the path -> isolate the file name
    for (each char in Filename)
        if (c == '\\' || c == '/')
            basename = &next_char;

    // compare basename against a list of target process names
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        if (wcsicmp(&targetList[i], basename) == 0)   // sub_180017020 = case-insensitive wide compare
        {
            // copy a structure/payload block into a1 (the __int128 copy loop)
            memcpy(a1, &unk_180039010, ...);
            return 1;   // match found
        }

    return 0;   // no match
}
```

### Core behavior (de-obfuscated):
- **Observed:** Calls `GetModuleFileNameW(NULL, ...)` to retrieve the path of the currently running executable.
- **Observed:** Parses the path to extract just the file name (splits on `\` and `/`).
- **Observed:** References the string `aChromeExe` (`"chrome.exe"`) and iterates a list of **3** target names (`416 * v133` stride = 416-wide-char array entries; 3 entries).
- **Observed:** Uses `sub_180017020` (a case-insensitive wide-string comparison, equivalent to `_wcsicmp`) to compare the executable name against these targets.
- **Observed:** On a match, copies a fixed data block (`unk_180039010`, a large struct, copied via SSE 128-bit moves) into the caller's buffer `a1` and returns `1`.

### Inferred purpose:
This is almost certainly a **self-context check / target-validation routine** used by an injected DLL or a process-hollowing/sideloading payload. It verifies that it is running **inside the right host process** (e.g., `chrome.exe` or other browsers), and if so, retrieves configuration/offset data needed for the next stage (commonly **browser memory patching, credential theft, or man-in-the-browser injection**).

---

## 2. Well-Known Algorithms

- **No cryptographic algorithm** is present.
- The "algorithms" used are:
  - **Path basename extraction** (custom, splitting on `\`/`/`).
  - **Case-insensitive wide string comparison** (`sub_180017020` ≈ `_wcsicmp`).
- The dominant "algorithm" is the **opaque-predicate obfuscation scheme** (see §5).

---

## 3. Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)

| Type | Value | Notes |
|------|-------|-------|
| String / Process name | `chrome.exe` (`aChromeExe`) | Observed reference; targeted browser |
| Process-name table | `aChromeExe` + 2 additional 416-byte entries | Loop runs 3 times — **inferred** two more browser names follow `chrome.exe` (commonly `msedge.exe`, `brave.exe`, etc.) |
| Data blob | `unk_180039010` | Copied payload/config block — needs raw bytes to characterize |
| Config bytes | `byte_180039000`–`byte_18003A4A8` | Used as obfuscation constants; not real network/file IOCs |

**No file paths, IPs, domains, registry keys, or commands** are present in this snippet. The `Filename` buffer is filled at runtime by `GetModuleFileNameW`, not hard-coded.

> ⚠️ The "additional two target names" is **inferred** from the loop count and stride, not directly observed.

---

## 4. MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

| Technique ID | Name | Evidence | Fact / Inference |
|--------------|------|----------|------------------|
| **T1057** | Process Discovery | Determines own process name via `GetModuleFileNameW` and compares against a target list | Observed |
| **T1620** / **T1055** | Reflective / Process Injection (context) | Code is structured as a guard for an injected component running inside a browser process; references `chrome.exe` as host | Inferred |
| **T1027** | Obfuscated Files or Information | Massive dead-code / opaque-predicate obfuscation; constant-return functions used to build junk arithmetic | Observed |
| **T1497** | Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion (defensive) | The opaque predicates complicate automated analysis; behavior-gating on host process can hinder dynamic analysis outside the intended host | Inferred |
| **T1185** | Browser Session Hijacking (Man-in-the-Browser) | Targets `chrome.exe`; retrieves a config blob after confirming browser host | Inferred (very common goal for browser-targeting code like this) |
| **T1555.003** | Credentials from Web Browsers | Strong candidate purpose for browser-resident code | Inferred (not provable from this snippet alone) |

---

## 5. Obfuscation / Evasion Techniques

**Observed:**
1. **Opaque predicate obfuscation** — The helpers return constants (`0, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9`). Expressions like `(x + byte_180039004) / byte_180039003 == byte_180039000` always evaluate predictably, so entire `if`/`else` branches are dead. This is the defining feature.
2. **Junk floating-point arithmetic** — Repeated `((double)b2 - (b1 + b1)) * (double)(...)` patterns produce values used only inside fake conditions, never in real logic.
3. **Control-flow flattening / inflation** — The real logic (≈15 lines) is buried in ~700 lines of computed-but-discarded operations.
4. **Constant pool indirection** — Global bytes (`byte_180039000+`) act as a "key table" feeding the opaque predicates, making static constant-folding harder.

**Inferred:**
- This pattern is characteristic of **commercial/protector obfuscators or custom packers** designed to defeat both decompilers and human reviewers. The function genuinely "works" only along a single hidden execution path.

---

## 6. Summary: Facts vs. Inference

**Directly observed facts:**
- Calls `GetModuleFileNameW(NULL, ...)`.
- Extracts the basename from the resulting path.
- References the string `"chrome.exe"`.
- Compares the basename against **3** target names (case-insensitively).
- On a match, copies a fixed data structure (`unk_180039010`) and returns 1.
- Heavily obfuscated using constant-returning helper functions and opaque predicates.

**Inferred (reasoned) behavior:**
- The function is a **host-process validation guard** for a browser-targeting payload (likely injected/sideloaded).
- The two unseen targets are likely other Chromium browsers.
- The ultimate goal is probably **browser hijacking / credential or session theft** — not provable from this snippet alone; requires analysis of `unk_180039010` and the callers of `sub_180001030`.

**Recommended next steps:** dump the raw bytes of `unk_180039010` and the full 3-entry name table at `aChromeExe`, and trace the callers of this function to confirm the injection/theft hypothesis.
