An unusual strain of ransomware has been reported to hit various institutions via Java exploits, experts say. One of those institutions is MedStar Health, and the hospital suffered immense losses after the ransomware struck. This was due to the abilities of Samas crypto-malware to encrypt the data with a strong encryption algorithm after which demand payment for decryption via a unique key.

Data Recovery Tool	Windows Data Recovery by Stellar Phoenix Notice! This product scans your drive sectors to recover lost files and it may not recover 100% of the encrypted files, but only few of them, depending on the situation and whether or not you have reformatted your drive.

Samas Ransomware – How Does It Infect

Unlike other ransom malware, Samas uses unusual encryption techniques. It is particularly sophisticated because it employs a so-called pen testing otherwise known as penetration testing via a remote server to begin the infection process. Such testing allows the cyber-criminals to discover vulnerabilities in the network of the targeted devices. Once a vulnerability is found, the ransomware may either use:

Stolen login credentials to directly gain access and start running files remotely using a free program called “psexec.exe” which gives those permissions.
Vulnerabilities in Java, allowing it to execute a malicious script.

Samas Ransomware In Detail

This crypto-malware uses a combination of different viruses each one performing different activities. First, it is reported by researchers to use an infostealer called Derusbi or Bladabindi. The second tool which is used by this malware is called PsExec, and its executable psexec.exe is configured to start programs on the infected computer remotely.

Besides those tools, Samas also may use two variants of the Trojan: Samas infection. This is what appears to be a BAT(Batch file) type of Trojan which may use several commands. One of those commands is the privilege escalating vssadmin command via vssadmin.exe, for example:

→ vssadmin delete shadows /for={DrivePartition} [/oldest | /all | /shadow={Identification of the shadow copies}] [/quiet]

This type of command may be used by Samas to delete the backup of your computer after which it may start encrypting your data.

Furthermore, Samas ransomware kit downloads yet another malware on the infected user’s computer – an MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) ransomware which uses a very strong encryption algorithms – the AES and RSA cyphers.

The Encryption Process

The Ransomware may look for the usual and most used file extensions to encode. The encoded files are reported to be left with an added “encrypted.RSA” file extension, for example:

→ New Text Document.txt.encrypted.RSA

Both encryption algorithms used by the ransomware (RSA and AES) which are classified to be a Suite.B encoding language, are designed for concealing top secret files. The strength of the cypher is relatively impenetrable since it would take a powerful computer tens of years to decrypt a file if it doesn’t break by then. What Samas does is that it encrypts the files using the AES encryption algorithm. After this, it generates a custom encryption key and encrypts it with the RSA encryption algorithm, similar to the graph below:

After encrypting the data, Samas leaves a custom ransom note. Users on bleeping computer report the ransom message to be in a file named “HELPDECYPRT_YOUR_FILES.html” located in each folder where files are encrypted. The ransom note is reported to be the following:

→ “#What happened to your files?
All of your important files encrypted with RSA-2048, RSA-2048 is a powerful cryptography algorithm
For more information you can use Wikipedia
*attention: Don’t rename or edit encrypted files because it will be impossible to decrypt your files
#How to recover files?
RSA is an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm You need two key
1-Public key: you need it for encryption
2-Private Key: you need it for decryption
So you need Private key to recover your files.
It’s not possible to recover your files without private key.
#How to get private key?
You can receive your Private Key in 3 easy steps:
Step1: You must send us One Bitcoin about (430$) for each affected PC to receive Private Key.
Step2: After you send us one Bitcoin, Leave a comment on our blog with these detail: Your Bitcoin transaction reference + Your Computer name
*Your Computer name is:{PC NAME}
Step3: We will reply to your comment with a decryption software, You should run it on your affected PC, and all encrypted files will be recovered
*Our blog address: key93939393.wordpress.com
*Our Bitcoin address: {Cyber crooks’ bitcoin address}”

In addition to that, this ransomware may come in different variations since researchers believe that it may be a part of a RaaS (Ransomware as a Service) scheme. This means it may be sold to anybody interested on the black market. Not only this, but researchers also reported that the cyber-crooks behind this ransomware evolve it constantly, for example, they may change the payment addresses, methods of contacting them anonymously and other details.

Step 5 (Optional): Try to Restore Files Encrypted by Samas.

Ransomware infections and Samas aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.

Method 1: Scanning your drive’s sectors by using Data Recovery software.
Another method for restoring your files is by trying to bring back your files via data recovery software. Here are some suggestions for preferred data recovery software solutions:

Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors.
If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:

Method 3: Using Shadow Explorer

To restore your data in case you have backup set up, it is important to check for Volume Shadow Copies, if ransomware has not deleted them, in Windows using the below software:

Shadow Explorer

Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.

Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
