Something evil on 31.210.96.155, 31.210.96.156, 31.210.96.157 and 31.210.96.158 (31.210.96.152/29)

[Note, an update to this can be found here]

I don't know quite what the exploit kit of the month is here, but the IP addresses 31.210.96.155, 31.210.96.156, 31.210.96.157 and 31.210.96.158 are currently serving up malware using hijacked GoDaddy domains, and are targeting victim websites by altering their .htaccess files to intercept traffic coming from search engines such as Google.

These IP addresses have been used for malware for some time and certainly historically they have been used for Ponmocup. I can't confirm that this is still the case, but given the bad IP and the obvious .htaccess hijack then it passed the Duck Test.

These IPs are allocated to Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S. in Turkey who control 31.210.64.0/18 which is a large block, so these IPs are probably a customer or even a customer of a customer.

VirusTotal reports for these IPs are pretty poor [1] [2] [3] [4]. I assume that they form part of an allocation 31.210.96.152/29 which I would very strongly recommend blocking that range, or indeed the entire /24 looks pretty worth

These domains all use the GoDaddy domaincontrol.com nameservers, which naturally means most of them are GoDaddy domains.. but not all of them, some are from other registrars. This list [pastebin] includes a selection of active subdomains that I can find.

I recommend permablocking the following IP range and temporarily blocking the following domains:

virtualmapping.org redirect

The domain name virtualmapping.org sounds legitimate, but isn't.. it's a redirector used on hacked websites. The first time you visit one of these hacked sites via a Google search, you get redirected to a URL at virtualmapping.org/cgi-bin/r.cgi. Subsequent visits don't seem to trigger this, nor does visiting the site directly. It could be an altered .htaccess file.

virtualmapping.org is hosted on 94.63.149.246 which is unsurprisingly enough in Romania, in a Cobalt IT SRL block suballocated to SC Coral IT Office SRL / xnetworkings.com also in Romania. Sites in these Cobalt ranges are either all evil or are of interest to Romanian visitors only, so one quick and easy way to secure your network is to block the entire 94.60.0.0/14 range.. at the very least, block 94.63.149.0/24, 94.63.244.0/24 and 94.60.123.0/24 which are especially toxic.

After hitting virtualmapping.org, visitors are then redirected to one of the following sites on 95.168.178.206, hosted at Netdirekt in Frankfurt but actually allocated to a host called inferno.name (Sogreev Anton, Serbia). 95.168.178.0/24 is full of Russian porn sites, so probably a good thing to block in any case.

Some of the domains that are loading the malware are:
could0.nc-9.com
gets1.nc-9.com
realized2.nc-9.com
summer3.nc-9.com
principle4.nc-9.com
watching4.nc-9.com
and5.nc-9.com
electric6.nc-9.com
plane6.nc-9.com
show7.nc-9.com
fig8.nc-9.com
ever8.nc-9.com
feet8.nc-9.com
league9.nc-9.com
event9.nc-9.com
became0.nc-9.com
sense4.nc-9.com

Basically, anything in the nc-9.com domain apart from nc-9.com and www.nc-9.com has been hijacked and is pointing to the IP address in Frankfurt. It's not a surprise to see that nc-9.com is actually a legitimate domain registered at GoDaddy that appears to have been hijacked.

The payload is a nasty trojan according to various analysis tools (ThreatExpert, Comodo, Anubis). Detection rates are very low. The analysis tools might help you to clean up your PC if you have somehow become infected.

Of some interest, the trojan alters the HOSTS file to block access to popular torrent sites such as the Pirate Bay. It also calls home to two domains, assistancebeside.com (78.159.100.32) and imagehut4.cn which was actually deleted last year, but was registered to the scumbags at Real Host Ltd.

There's quite a lot to block here, the highest priorities are:
94.63.149.246
95.168.178.206
78.159.100.32
*.nc-9.com
assistancebeside.com
virtualmapping.org

I see no harm in blocking the following /24s:
94.63.149.0/24
95.168.178.0/24

And if you're not afraid to block really quite large address ranges:
94.60.0.0/14
