Uchihash - A Small Utility To Deal With Malware Embedded Hashes

Uchihash is a small utility that can save malware analysts the time of dealing with embedded hash values used for various things such as:

Dynamically importing APIs (especially in shellcode)
Checking running process used by analysts (Anti-Analysis)
Checking VM or Antivirus artifacts (Anti-Analysis)

Uchihash can generate hashes with your own custom hashing algorithm, search for a list of hashes in an already generated hashmap and also it can generate an IDAPython script to annotate the hashes with their corresponding values for easier analysis.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/N1ght-W0lf/Uchihash.git
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Notes

--algo: One of the available hashing algorithms
--apis: Hashes a huge list of windows APIs (see data/apis_list.txt)
--keywords: Hashes a list of common keywords used by malware families such as Analysis tools and VM/Antivirus/EDR artifacts (see data/keywords_list.txt)
--list : Words are separated by a newline (see examples/mywords.txt)
--script: Hashing function must be called hashme() and the return value must be in hex format 0xDEADBEEF (see examples/custom_algo.txt)
--search: File to search must be in JSON format (see examples/searchme.txt)
--hashes: Hash values are separated by a newline and they must be in hex format (see examples/myhashes.txt)

Example

Let's take an examples with a real malware family, in this case we have BuerLoader which is using hash values to dynamically import APIs and it's using a custom hashing algorithm.

First we need to implement the hashing algorithm in python:

def ROR4(val, bits, bit_size=32):
    return ((val & (2 ** bit_size - 1)) >> bits % bit_size) | \
           (val << (bit_size - (bits % bit_size)) & (2 ** bit_size - 1))
    
def hashme(s):
    res = 0
    for c in s:
        v3 = ROR4(res, 13)
        v4 = c - 32
        if c < 97:
            v4 = c
        res = v4 + v3
    return hex(res)

Then we calculate the hashes of all APIs:

$ python uchihash.py --script custom_algo.py --apis

Finally we search for the hash values that BuerLoader is using in the generated hashmap, we can also generate an IDAPython script to annotate those hash values with their corresponding API names:

$ python uchihash.py --search output/hashmap.txt --hashes buer_hashes.txt --ida

We should get 2 output files, one is "output/search_hashmap.txt" which maps BuerLoader's hash values to API names:

{
  "0x8a8b468c": "LoadLibraryW",
  "0x302ebe1c": "VirtualAlloc",
  "0x1803b7e3": "VirtualProtect",
  "0xe183277b": "VirtualFree",
  "0x24e2968d": "GetComputerNameW",
  "0xab489125": "GetNativeSystemInfo",
  .......
}

The other file is "output/ida_script.py" which will add the comments to your idb:
