Decoding a virus with LabVIEW

Unscheduled

ICS file coming soon

Recently, I was shown an infected webpage. The previously accessible webpage now showed a captcha dialog box. Clicking the "I'm not a robot" button popped up this set of instructions: "Open Terminal/PowerShell and hit Ctrl+V followed by Enter". Naturally, I was intrigued about what got copied into my clipboard. When I saw it was not code but something that was encoded, my curiosity grew.

This presentation will dive into how I decoded the malicious set of instructions using LabVIEW after nerd-sniping myself into working on what turned out to be a fun problem!

I was introduced to LabVIEW over a decade and a half ago and am currently a LabVIEW Champion and a CLD. For someone who never spoke in graphic terms, I sure took to this "graphic language" in no time!

By day, I work full-time at ARAV Systems with LabVIEW and TestStand. By night, I continue to tinker with LabVIEW and actively engage with the awesome community of fellow LabVIEW developers. Over 15 years of doing LabVIEW and I am still discovering new exciting things about it!
