Subject: Re: Cracking Gauss using dynamic

I've been having some problems getting the correct hash to be
generated. First of all I've been using a bash script from the website
to generate expected values.

--------file hex. This is for the input word "secret" with salt------------
73656372657497486CAA225FE877C035CC0373236D51
--------end file-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------Bash script-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
declare -i count

a=$(cat hex | xxd -p -r | md5 -r | awk '{print $1}')
for (( count = 0 ; count < 10000; count++))

do
a=$(echo -en "$a" | xxd -p -r | md5 -r | awk '{print $1}')
done
echo " done"
echo "$a"
exit 0
---------------------end bash script--------------------------------------


Also rather than paste all 10k lines (x 3-4) here is a python script
that generates the dynamic conf

---------------python script---------------------------------------------
print "#######################################################################"
print "# Dynamic Type for algorithm used in gauss malware
md5(md5(path.file.$s))^^10000"
print "#######################################################################"
print "[List.Generic:dynamic_2033]"
print "# Flag needed here, is Salt"
print "Flag=MGF_SALTED"
#print "SaltLen=16"
print "Func=DynamicFunc__clean_input"
print "Func=DynamicFunc__append_keys"
print "Func=DynamicFunc__append_salt"
print "Func=DynamicFunc__crypt_md5"

print "Func=DynamicFunc__clean_input2"
print "Func=DynamicFunc__append_from_last_output_to_input2_as_base16"
for i in range(10000):
        print "Func=DynamicFunc__crypt2_md5"
        print "Func=DynamicFunc__clean_input2_kwik"
        print "Func=DynamicFunc__append_from_last_output2_as_base16"
print "Func=DynamicFunc__crypt_md5_in2_to_out1"
#print "Test=$dynamic_2033$23d7b45123f84ffb713569c22ebd7230$HEX$97486CAA225FE877C035CC0373236D51:test"
#print "Test=$dynamic_2033$7f6d15c16720a432493ba0fb1556e0a3$HEX$97486CAA225FE877C035CC0373236D51:test"
print "Test=$dynamic_2033$6d7affd7203134e7c13dad602a9b4282$HEX$97486CAA225FE877C035CC0373236D51:secret"

------------------End python
scrip--------------------------------------------------

So as you can see, I've been running some other tests as well. For a
single round of hashing everything works ok, but when I try to re-hash
it the self check fails vs. the output generated by the bash script,
(with me limiting the bash script to 1 rehash as well).

Note, one other issue that eventually will have to be dealt with is
how the input string is encoded with the real data. aka instead of
C:\Program Files..... it has a null '00' between each character so
you'll have to try C.:.\.P.r.o.g.r.a.m...F.i.l.e.s.....

2nd Note: I'm also using "test" and "secret" right now for my test
hashes since I haven't been able to figure out how to get the sample
on the website to work correctly in the dynamic config since it has a
":" in it.

I'm actually going camping in a couple of minutes so I apologize if I
don't respond to e-mails for the rest of the weekend, but I wanted to
post my current status before I left.

Thanks,
Matt
