Frida-Wshook - Script Analysis Tool Based On Frida.re

frida-wshook is an analysis and instrumentation tool which uses frida.re to hook common functions often used by malicious script files which are run using WScript/CScript.

The tool intercepts Windows API functions and doesn't implement function stubs or proxies within the targeted scripting language. This allows it to support analyzing a few different script types such as:

.js (JScript)
.vbs (VBScript)
.wsf (WSFile) (Initial support/testing. - Does not support specific jobs)

By default script files are run using cscript.exe and will output:

COM ProjIds
DNS Requests
Shell Commands
Network Requests

Warning!!! Ensure that you run any malicious scripts on a dedicated analysis system. Ideally, a VM with snapshots so you can revert if a script gets away from you and you need to reset the system.

Although common methods have been hooked, Windows provides numerous APIs which allow developers to interact with a network, file system and execute commands. So it is entirely possible to encounter scripts leveraging uncommon APIs for these functions.

Install & Setup

Install Python 2.7
Install the Frida python bindings using pip

pip install frida

Clone (or download) the frida-wshook repository.

Supported OS
frida-wshook has been tested on Windows 10 and Windows 7 and should work on any Windows 7 + environment. On x64 systems CScript is loaded from the C:\Windows\SysWow64 directory.
It may work on WindowsXP, but I suspect that CScript may use the legacy API calls and would bypass the instrumentation.

Usage
The script supports a number of optional commandline arguments that allow you to control what APIs the scripting host can call.

usage: frida-wshook.py [-h] [--debug] [--disable_dns] [--disable_com_init]
                        [--enable_shell] [--disable_net]
                        script
 
 frida-wshook.py your friendly WSH Hooker
 
 positional arguments:
   script              Path to target .js/.vbs file
 
 optional arguments:
   -h, --help          show this help message and exit
   --debug             Output debug info
   --disable_dns       Disable DNS Requests
   --disable_com_init  Disable COM Object Id Lookup
   --enable_shell      Enable Shell Commands
   --disable_net       Disable Network Requests

Analyze a script with the default parameters:

python wshook.py bad.js

Enable verbose debugging:

python wshook.py --debug bad.js

Enable shell (execute) commands:

python frida-wshook.py --enable_shell bad.vbs

Disable WSASend:

python frida-wshook.py --disable_net bad.vbs

Check what ProgIds the script uses:

python frida-wshook.py --disable_com_init bad.vbs

Hooked Functions

Known Issues

Network responses are not captured
Disabling Object Lookup can cause the script to only output the first ProgId...Malware QA can be lacking.
WSF files with a specific job to target currently isn't supported

TODO

Change GetAddrInfoExW to use .replace instead of .attach
Add additional tracing and hooks to cover more APIs
Look at bypassing common anti-analysis techniques found in scripts (sleeps etc)
Update and improve network request hooking (ie: currently it captures requests, but not responses)
