#100DaysofYARA 2024 – Day 19 – LockBit Ransomware Note

Rounding out my LockBit rules (I didn’t have a Linux sample to analyse) with one to find the ransom note dropped by LockBit 2.0:

rule MAL_Lockbit_2_ransomnote {
	meta:
		description = "Matches strings found in Lockbit 2.0 ransom note samples."
		last_modified = "2024-01-19"
        author = "@petermstewart"
        DaysofYara = "19/100"

    strings:
    	$a = "http://lockbitapt6vx57t3eeqjofwgcglmutr3a35nygvokja5uuccip4ykyd.onion"
    	$b1 = "https://bigblog.at"
    	$b2 = "http://lockbitsup4yezcd5enk5unncx3zcy7kw6wllyqmiyhvanjj352jayid.onion"
    	$b3 = "http://lockbitsap2oaqhcun3syvbqt6n5nzt7fqosc6jdlmsfleu3ka4k2did.onion"
		$c1 = "LockBit 2.0 Ransomware"
		$c2 = "Your data are stolen and encrypted"
		$c3 = "The data will be published on TOR website"
		$c4 = "if you do not pay the ransom"
		$c5 = "You can contact us and decrypt on file for free on these TOR sites"
		$c6 = "Decryption ID:"

	condition:
		filesize < 5KB and
		$a and
		2 of ($b*) and
		5 of ($c*)
}
