Tektip ep23 - MASTIFF with a splash of Maltrieve
Friday, February 22, 2013 at 10:03PM
In this episode of TekTip we take a look at performing basic static analysis with MASTIFF. While that is the focus of this episode I wanted to delve into Maltrieve first.
Maltrieve is a fork of MWCrawler which you guys and gals may remember from a previous TekTip video. Maltrieve was created by Kyle Maxwell @KyleMaxwell. While it has the same basic function of MWCrawler which is downloading malware from various web resources, it works much faster and has more reliable web resources it pulls from. @KyleMaxwell is working to add thug integration as well.
Once downloaded you run maltrieve without any options, as seen below:

This will download the malware to a default directory of /tmp/malware
*Make sure this directory exists or change the path in the python script to match what you want
So, with Maltrieve done and a bunch of samples downloaded it is time to see the power of MASTIFF.
MASTIFF is an automated framework for static analysis created by Tyler Hudak @SecShoggath and was funded by the Cyber Fast Track DARPA program. Too bad Cyber Fast track is going away, there are so many awesome projects coming out of it right now.
What MASTIFF will do is it will analyze a file to determine the file type (pdf, zip, PE32) and based on that file type it will run the appropriate static analysis tools against the sample. The output for tools it runs are organized and packaged up with some key information also making its way to a sqllite database.
Some of the benefits of this framework are:
- Easily Extensible: Built very modular so adding to the functionality is easy
- Consistent: When you have a team of analyst working on malware it is important that everyone speak the same language. MASTIFF gives a consistent standard approach to static analysis.
- Quick: Manual static analysis can take a long time. With MASTIFF I can run through hundreds of samples in minutes.
- Documented: As a consequence of being a DARPA funded program the creator was forced to ensure that the framework was documented well. The documentation goes beyond the normal installation and usage covering workflow and methodology.
I do not cover installation in the video as it would take to long and be very boring but I will mention that installation is relatively easy. The only real pain is ensuring you have all of the third party tools installed. The pdf inside the archive for MASTIFF has great documentation to get you up and running. Once the dependencies and MASTIFF are installed though ensure that you modify the mastiff.conf file to reference the appropriate paths for where you installed the third party tools.
Now that the config is good and MASTIFF is installed you are ready to start analyzing malware. running mas.py will show you usage.
tekmalinux@TekMALinux:/opt/mastiff/mastiff-0.5.0$ mas.py
Usage: mas.py [options] FILE
Options:
-c CONFIG_FILE, --conf=CONFIG_FILE
Use an alternate config file. The default is
'./mastiff.conf'.
-h, --help Show the help message and exit.
-l PLUGIN_TYPE, --list=PLUGIN_TYPE
List all available plug-ins of the specified type and
exit. Type must be one of 'analysis' or 'cat'.
-o OVERRIDE, --option=OVERRIDE
Override a config file option. Configuration options
should be specified as 'Section.Key=Value' and should
be quoted if any whitespace is present. Multiple
overrides can be specified by using multiple '-o'
options.
-p PLUGIN_NAME, --plugin=PLUGIN_NAME
Only run the specified analysis plug-in. Name must be
quoted if it contains whitespace.
-q, --quiet Only log errors.
-t FTYPE, --type=FTYPE
Force file to be analyzed with plug-ins from the
specified category (e.g., EXE, PDF, etc.). Run with
'-l cat' to list all available category plug-ins.
-V, --verbose Print verbose logs.
-v, --version Show program's version number and exit.
To run mastiff against a single file simply sudo mas.py filename
tekmalinux@TekMALinux:/opt/mastiff/mastiff-0.5.0$ sudo mas.py /tmp/malware/86658467c74b39210de96111ee6f66d5

MASTIFF does not currently have a native method to scan multiple files at once. While that is on the horizon for the project that is not a problem for us as we can just script out a quick program to do this. Of course you can always use mine.
#!/usr/bin/pythonimport os# MASTIFF Autorun# @TekDefense# www.TekDefense.com# Quick script to autorun samples from maltrieve to MASTIFFmalwarePath = '/tmp/malware/'for r, d, f in os.walk(malwarePath):for files in f:malware = malwarePath + filesprint malwareos.system ('mas.py' + ' ' + malware)
Simply change the directory in the script to point to where you have the samples and run the python program. Also be sure to keep this script in the same directory as mas.py.
tekmalinux@TekMALinux:/opt/mastiff/mastiff-0.5.0$ sudo python autoRunMas.py

Now that you have performed analysis against a bunch of samples you can analyze the results, or open up the sqllite database to pull some statistics.
As you can probably tell by now, I am really enjoying MASTIFF, in fact I am looking for any excuse to run it daily. Last week I was given a perfect event to apply MASTIFF too and that was Mandiant's report on APT1. VirusShare @VXShare was able to quickly compile a bunch of samples which a lot of folks started playing around with. I decided to run 20 or so of the samples through MASTIFF. If you would like to download those results you can get them in the download section.
I mentioned in the video that I was getting an error when running MASTIFF. I am not sure what is generating the error exactly quite yet, as I have checked that all the appropriate imports are in place. Once I figure it out I'll let you guys know what is going on. The error is below:
[2013-02-23 21:47:40,904] [ERROR] [yapsy] : Unable to import plugin: /opt/mastiff/mastiff-0.5.0/plugins/EXE/EXE-singlestring

ImportError: Error loading the diStorm dynamic library (or cannot load library into process).
MASTIFF seems to be running fine even with the error though.
Look for MASTIFF to be in the next release of HoneyDrive. Thanks @ikoniaris!
