What is MioStar

MioStar is an offspring of the SkypeTrojan. Unlike the SkypeTrojan MioStar puts its focus on hooking functions that deal with sensitive data like account information or network traffic. The initial objective was not to produce a hacker tool ready to use or incorporate in malware. But at the point we reached now it is more than just a simple proof of concept. We have a nice, fancy GUI now and a handful of preconfigured applications where we can extract sensitive data. And in the future the list will grow.
What function calls are intercepted
Currently the following functions can be intercepted with MioStar …
Files
|
Crypto
|
Registry
|
|
Networking
|
|
System
|
Which applications use these calls
MioStar can be used with any application but without guarantee of success. From following applications
sensitive data can be extracted …
| Application name | Function |
| Safari | CryptProtectData CryptUnprotectData |
| Chrome | CryptProtectData CryptUnprotectData |
| GoogleTalk | CryptProtectData CryptUnprotectData |
| Microsoft Live Messenger | CryptEncrypt |
| Microsoft Live Mail | CryptProtectMemory CryptUnprotectMemory |
| Yahoo Messenger | SslEncryptPacke |
| Thunderbird |
nss3.dll::PK11SDR_Decrypt nss3.dll::PK11SDR_Encrypt |
| FireFox |
nss3.dll::PK11SDR_Decrypt nss3.dll::PK11SDR_Encrypt |
| SeaMonkey |
nss3.dll::PK11SDR_Decrypt nss3.dll::PK11SDR_Encrypt |
| RockMelt |
CryptProtectData CryptUnprotectData |
Manipulating functions
Instead of extracting sensitive data you can also manipulate the function arguments and replace the passed values by your own. As an example the function GetAddrInfoEx normally resolves hostnames and gives back the according IP address. Instead of resolving www.google.com replace this parameter by www.megapanzer.com. All traffic for google gets then redirected to Megapanzer.
How can I participate
You can participate in three ways. If you know of …
- applications using one of the functions mentioned in the list above that deal with sensitive data.
- Windows functions that handle sensitive data and they are not implemented in MioStar yet.
- DLLs providing functions that deal with sensitive data.
… then please drop me a mail and let me know.

Why this strange name
There are many security related tools out there with heroic, martial, elite or marketing strategic, odd sounding names. Why not name a tool something like a household appliance? MioStar is a product line of a Swiss store that offers great products for your household like MioStar mixer, MioStar hair dryer, MioStar vacuum. MioStar, a great name for a tool!

i actually wanted to restrict it to account data grabbing. but fishing cookies out of the stream could be intresting in regard of session cookies. mmm… do you/anyone know how HTTPS sessions are handled? which functions are used?
Have you tried hooking wininet.dll(HttpSendRequestW, HttpSendRequestA) for intercepting Iexplore POST data?? Hooking it is not that easy to acomplish like with other functions/DLLs :/
