Persistent hijacked GoDaddy domains serve malware via Turkish IPs

Last year I wrote about a small bunch of IPs belonging to Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S in Turkey that seemed to be aggressively pushing an exploit kit via hijacked GoDaddy domains. Today I was slightly surprised to see that this is still going on, and in some cases using the same domains as they were all those months ago.

Let's start by looking at an example hijacked domain gssportspics.com which is a neat little site with some high school photos of sports and events on.


We can look up the DNS details for www.gssportspics.com and they look OK with an IP of 184.168.152.5 which belongs to GoDaddy.

01/08/15 14:06:28 dns www.gssportspics.com
Mail for www.gssportspics.com is handled by smtp.secureserver.net mailstore1.secureserver.net
Canonical name: gssportspics.com
Aliases:
  www.gssportspics.com
Addresses:
  184.168.152.5


The domain is registered by GoDaddy, the domain is hosted by GoDaddy. Makes sense, and the website is clean of malware as far as I can tell.

But the problem is that there are a whole bunch of subdomains also using the gssportspics.com that you can't easily tell are there. For example, these subdomains all exist too:

invu.gssportspics.com
yossi.gssportspics.com
auckle.gssportspics.com
sively.gssportspics.com
truset.gssportspics.com
vishal.gssportspics.com
sovieana.gssportspics.com
wiramart.gssportspics.com
gardenhour.gssportspics.com
spechtling.gssportspics.com

Let's look up one of these..

01/08/15 14:24:45 dns vishal.gssportspics.com
Canonical name: vishal.gssportspics.com
Addresses:
  31.210.96.158


Well, that IP address ain't GoDaddy.

inetnum:        31.210.64.0 - 31.210.127.255
netname:        TR-RADORE-20110504
descr:          Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S.
country:        TR
org:            ORG-RHTH1-RIPE
admin-c:        RLA11-RIPE
tech-c:         RLA11-RIPE
status:         ALLOCATED PA
mnt-by:         RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-lower:      RADORE-MNT
mnt-routes:     RADORE-MNT
mnt-domains:    RADORE-MNT
notify:         registry@rh.com.tr
changed:        hostmaster@ripe.net 20110504
changed:        hostmaster@ripe.net 20130410
changed:        bit-bucket@ripe.net 20130930
source:         RIPE


Well, we've been here before and I can tell you that these sort of hijacked sites are hosted on the following IPs:

31.210.96.155
31.210.96.156
31.210.96.157
31.210.96.158


I don't know how this Turkish host suballocates IPs to customers, but it is roughly equivalent to 31.210.96.152/29.

So how are these hijacks happening? Actually, I don't know although I do know that this is very common with GoDaddy accounts that use domaincontrol.com namservers. Perhaps the accounts are being phished, hit in an XSS attack or there is a weakness in GoDaddy's DNS architecture. GoDaddy are normally very good at cleaning this sort of thing up, so let's hope they can put a stop to this now.

What the exact payload of these IPs is I don't know because it is hardened against analysis, but they have hosted Ponmocup in the past.  I have observed traffic being sent to these server via hacked sites, and given the subdomain hijacking then it is clear that something very bad is going on. You can see an example of URLquery failing to analyse one of these sites here.. I suspect that the payload only works once per visiting IP.

You can see an example of some of the LIVE subdomains hosted on these IPs here [pastebin] or a full list of ALL the hijacked subdomains that I seen over time in this range here.

Currently, these following domains all have hijacked subdomains, as far as I can tell, they are all legitimate sites and I would hesitate to block them.. instead I would recommend blocking the IP address ranges listed above instead.
