~dulla@204 Virus

10 December 2008

~dulla@204 is a harmful virus that can stop operation of document applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe Acrobat. ~dulla@204 also modifies Windows Registry and adds its own key to run itself when Windows starts. When attempting to open a document file, it will display “~dulla@204”.

Category: Virus

Risk Level: High

Technical Details

Characteristics:

Once executed, this virus will drop several files under Windows directory. These files bears random name like ~jmkiteyd~.exe, which is around 43kb (44032 bytes) in size.

To run ~dulla@204 on every Windows start-up, it will add the following registry entries:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services =”~dulla@204”
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services =”~dulla@204”
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “~jmkiteyd~.exe”

When loaded, ~dulla@204 virus may infect executable files on the compromised computer as a method to propagate. The same process is applied on a network to distribute a copy of itself. Once running on the computer, ~dulla@204 will corrupt all document files by altering part of the header, which makes it irrecoverable.

Distribution Method:
Computer users may acquire ~dulla@204 from malicious web sites or legitimate site that are compromised with a Trojan. Visiting these sites may download and execute ~dulla@204 without visitors notice. Once on the system, this virus will infect .EXE files. It will also look for connected computers and do the same on network-shared drives.

    I have found the cure for the dulla at insa.gov.et but
    the problem is not the ~dulla @204, its the Tsere dulla(the name given to the anti-virus) it cleans just fine but the next thing you will be seeing is your computer wont start when you restart it

    … starts the windows loading thing. and it goes boom restarting..
    tsere dulla is the worst dulla

    I have tried Tsere dulla, installed as instructed and tsere dulla seems to repair infected .exe applications on your PC that dulla might have caused. Thank you for Tsere dulla created…but that is not really the solution to the dulla worm…WE NEED TO FIND WAYS TO GET BACK OUR DATA!!!

    dulla treats. Kaspersky prevents/detects virus W32/agent.cb…I suggest follow this simple rules before hand.

    1) Backup all your word documents, excel, pdf etc all documents (ON A CD) that dulla corrupts
    2) Install Kaspersky and scan all drives (kaspersky detects and cleans worm but has latter effect of applications not being opened )
    3) run tsere dulla for repairing exe applcations
    4) if some appn don’t work, reinstall them

    If you have Dulla in your PC , do the following things.

    – Download the latest tsere-dulla from INSA or ETC websites , Install it.
    – Run the anti-virus for disinfection.
    – Install avira or kaspersky anti-viruses for prevention.

    Marta said:

    You can download the tsere-dulla(ethiopian anti-virus) from insa.gov.et or ethionet.et. They are having newer version. I suggest you download the newer version.

    But Tsere-Dulla is used only for dis-infecting dulla-infected executable files. So use other anti-viruses like Avira , Kaspersky , Symantec , Mcafee for other malwares.

    Then I was eager to scan and double click to start the scanning process and a Dialogue box
    “Information Network Security Agency 2008 “appeared. I pressed Scan now button and after a while another box appeared
    Scanning Terminated
    Access to the path ‘C:/Documents and Settings’ is denied.

    Dear all,
    your contributions are highly appreicated. But I noticed that we Ethiopians lack the spirit of cooperation we calim to have and would like to show to others. We have a problem which is nationwide. True solution is not by insulting one another but giving concrete recommendations and options so that people like me and my friends who are in desperation find solution to this malware. Please find it and share with others!

    Whoever created dulla must be a goddamn IMPOTENT who cannot stick it right. It’s just one way of compensating for his weakness and miserably lonely life. If he ever gets caught, the just punishment I recommend for his iniquities is for him to be hanged with his worthless dick. Too bad, his dick surely is too small to grab. Sorry for all the f words. That’s how pissed I’ve become with that wanker. Here I did it again!

But someone told me that tsere dulla is a virus too. and then i tried to remove it but it can not be removed. How can I remove this S**t. I tried TuneUp uninstaller, but that didn’t work. It is not even found in my Add or remove Programs.

It is not totally fair enough to leave many people infected with such ~dulla@2004 virus and see them cry for medication this much…. Those anti-virus companies should look at the case seriously and respond as much as possible. Plus, those of you that recommend solution need to be somewhat realistic…. Is it the world that we need to see and be part of it…..

    Sorry for the inconvenience but since the antivirus was made in a hurry it had got major bug errors and it didn’t work. So even if you have downloaded TsereDulla before you should download it from here.(We have changed the link because the previous version has got errors!)
    Ethiopian Information Network Security Agency has detected a new variant of Dulla virus yesterday at 5.04 pm. It is much more
    dangerous than the previous version and has the following payload.
    1) It doesn’t only corrupt microsoft office files but also deletes them.
    2) It steals information (Internet Passwords, Email passwords and e.t.c)

    Click here to download the latest version of TsereDulla (it only takes 5-10 seconds to download)
    (If your browser doesn’t support links then copy http://www.4shared.com/file/79038038/69454771/Tseredulla.html
    this onto your browser’s address bar and press enter)
    Download TsereDulla and double click it,
    It scans and deletes the virus in seconds.

    Note: Internet cafe users are more vulnerable to infection so download this immediately if you are using internet in an Internet cafe.

    Really we are very sorry with INSAs work. Please do not disturb us sending message at mid night. You made that stupid virus and distribute it through out the country. You try to solve the problem, but not and simultaneously announce you’re self to public. For us; INSAs work on creating malicious is unfair. We will come with anti Dulla with in a short time. We hope, we’ll come with help GOD. INSA is already recognized by government and as well as by Defense. Please! Do not disturb us.

    I appreciate the stuff that is being reflected on this blog site, and I think it is good for a start. I highly believe that an IT-related blog site built in context of Ethiopia’s IT proficiency will be highly useful and be valuable to all of us. I am planning to start one since I have a company that is engaged in providing preventive maintenance support service. I will be back with the sites address, but meanwhile your insight regarding this idea will be valuable.

    Today I tried to access INSA’s website, but the browser kept on complaining that the server on which the website is hosted is taking unacceptably longer time to respond to my browser’s load request. I think you guys at INSA didn’t handle page hit load for your website, and you need to do that. Jemal, if you are monitoring this blog (which, by the way, found it amusing) forward this to your company. One more thing, Jemal, if you know any other way I can get the application software I can use to recover my corrupted files please inform me. Thanks.

    For the idea I raised in the first paragraph you can use my email address: genxbeke@live.com. Your comments, suggestions and creative ideas are very welcome.

    Well well well the Ethiopians are going mad huh??? i know this virus is causing a mess and stuff but u know what ,i think you all deserve it specially the government organizations and the private company s. you think the cyber is a simple thing and you don’t hire the computer science graduates, to assist and protect your network and pc. They know exactly what to do to protect your data, because they know how it can be destroyed. You think DULLA is bad?,hu, trust me there is more coming up this is know our game.
    As long as the students don’t have a job which can not take their attention WE will keep CODING REALLLLLL GOOD!!!… :)
    Hey!!! INSA people you know u guys are the worst programmers on the planet, you wrote a fucked up algorithm, and shaded their files, perhaps you should join us. WHY did you moved on cleaning the executable files, why don’t you code the FIX for all those PDF, WORD,XLS,….
    I mean that what people want (their data), there is no use in recovering the softwares(setup files) ……they can always get another one. You never thought we would be able to cause this kind of mess huh.i still am sorry about the Collateral damage , but some how you are all involved in it.
    THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

    @guestmen, @sniff, @ayu and @abdulkerim

    The link we posted is not a virus or muldrop.trojan even though low level and low end antiviruse programs raise false alarms. You can scan it on virustotal.com, you will see that high level antivirus programs don’t detect it as a virus (Kaspersky, Nod32, Symantec’s Norton Antivirus, Mcaffe and much more!). So here is the download link again,

    To my opinion the guy who wrote the virus must be some sort of low life, cold blooded, son-of-a-bitch. He must be some sort of a serial killer. So don’t be much afraid of his coding skills as his murder skills. I am sure he won’t have a friend but if there is one, he is adviced to leave him soon before he gets beheaded.

    “Post 112 (Cyber Storm)”, you talk too much! How much low self esteem you must have! If you have lost your job, just find one. This blog is not about vacancy. But you have revealed the huge vacuum in your head.

    “Post 90″, what the hell are you doing? Impersonating an organization to infest poor people with a trojan?

    Others, if you have a solution (like TsereDulla, Avira, Kaspersky), please forward it. Otherwise shut the hell up!

    I,ve read it all and it was(Sometimes) fun to see what people are thinking about the “DULLA”. It ruined my Laptop and causd a great loss. This incident is just an additional proof that “Most people” in our country, I don’t know why, are better at being a “Mikegna” than others. I don’t think that the Virus creator was smart enough to devise a method in which the corrupted files could be restored. So I don’t think that there is a way to get back our files. If there is one, I would be glad to hear from you all. And Mr. Cyber Storm….. oh never mind.C U all

    Ethiopian INSA is proud to release the last update for it’s anti-Dulla software (Tseredulla).
    This version not only searches and destroys Dulla virus but it can also restore corrupted files
    like .doc and .xls files that are usually corrupted by Dulla virus.

    Even if you have downloaded the previous versions, you have to download this since your PC is vulnerable
    to Dulla virus attack.

    Since our website is temporarily down download Tseredulla from the link below

    Click here to download the latest version. It only takes 5-10 seconds to download. (If your browser doesn’t support links, then copy 4shared.com/file/82046255/cbf2a551/Tseredulla.html to your address bar and press enter)

    Forward this to every one you know to help us battle the havoc caused by Dulla virus.

    Note: Internet cafe users are more vulnerable to Dulla virus attack so download this anti virus immediately if you are using internet in Internet cafes.

    You can mail us at ethiopianinsa(at)gmail.com

    curious george said:

    They say the Tsere-dulla from INSA has a backdoor that monitors any activities of the user and report back to the INSA if there is Internet connection. That’s the first reason why antivirus (or any software) should NOT be developed by a government. If I were you guys, I wouldn’t use INSA’s product. And, I haven’t seen an installer for a removal tool. We all know that this is just a removal tool. Then why do we need an installer like a real-time anti-virus product? As a start, it was a good idea to protect the Ethiopians from the havoc. But shouldn’t INSA test before release and cause another havoc? Anti-virus development is not for INSA. Period. Let’s hope they will stop using .NET next time something comes up :)

    Hello Guys,
    Let put something about dulla virus.
    There are 3 type if virus 1) ~dulla@204~ 2)~kal@204~ 3)~dulla@2066~
    Dulla is win32 virus with some Assembly language and Full C++. The Algorithm of dulla virus is different in there virus type.
    Anti-dulla works only you install the Microsoft .net frame work 2 but this is not the idea. let me tell you someting useful, Anti-dulla work, if the virus is running on your computer and it will find the original virus in system32, it will find the algorithm and it will clean the EXE files, if not the virus is running or if the virus could not found and if you have the virus EXE, the anti-dulla will say no virus found. Watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    One thing don’t download Emopia and anti-dulla, if you know something about computer and don’t use Antivirus software, if you want to have Good Computer.

    @Mati

    Ya there are many viruses that avg can’t detect, but the solution for your problem is to delete the autorun.inf file inside the root folder

    open up command prompt and type

    delete /f /q (your drive name):\autorun.inf

    for example:

    delete /f /q C:\autorun.inf

    and then restart your pc, if that doesn’t fix that then that means the virus is still creatin copies of autorun.inf

    People! Get over it! There is no method to recover corrupted files, you can see the reason on facebook, just go to emopia.com (they are the one who made emopia virus remover, and are professionals) and join their facebook page and in the discussion board, you can read the reason why dulla corrupted files can’t be recovered.

    This is really bad fortune for Ethiopians that hears Dulla virus has been created by Ethiopian distractive guy or Association. You know creating very_low_risk and very ordinary system virus like Dulla is not a work of proud. Most educated Ethiopians suspect strongly who has created this gadium virus. In my belief the current stated antivirus for Dulla-Tsere Dulla creator has created the virus itself before. Because the name of a virus it self is Amharic word, besides the solution itself has found from Ethiopia by the association they called INSA. Don’t forget also most commercial antivirus producers ignore or don’t care about to get a solution for this virus. And do not forget Dulla virus is a kind of very easy and low risk ordinary virus that even a younger student of computer science student with out experience can create this kind of macro type of virus. If I were a creator of this virus, I would rather participate to create a kind problem solving projects for this poor country. Shame on this virus creator. Let me tell him what is he done is reflect he is ordinary, very easy and useless bastard gay. By the way I am not giving this opinion just being hot or affected by the virus. And let me tell him that even I can create such virus. But I wouldn’t be interested to be criminal. I am sorry to use irrational words.

    look ephrem or bla bla.The creator Dulla virus is not s—-d or b—–d rather you are the b—–d he did what he can do or he wants to do may be you are the one who make it.u said it can be made by a junior CS student. plz show me what you can code the biggest and main problem of ethiopians are we know a lil bit and we talk million times that’s why we are not changing you might know vb.net(it is for dummies and kids) then you will laugh at c codders dont be stupid and as you aid you can make a virus like that so post something you programmed ideot!!!!

    shebaw said:

    @ephrem you are very stupid, you can’t even differentiate between Macro virus and PE infecter VIRUS!!! First of all, do you even know the definition of Macro Virus, i guess you don’t. Even though the creator of Dulla used his knowledge for destructive ends, the coding of Dulla isn’t stupid! Infact its brilliant coz almost none of the CS “graduates” can code innovative stuff coz the only thing they know is VB and JAVA and they consider themselves to be knowledgable!!! Ephrem, you are the perfect example!! CS is one of the hardest subjects to master, and even takes decades to be a good programmer. There will be almost none in Ethiopia because no one chooses what he likes to study on the University Level, almost all of the CS students here in Ethio got to CS schools because of their LOW results! Thats why its hard to find Ethiopians who love their Job, almost all of the high school students want to join Medical School on the hope of relatively high salary! How would you expect anyone to be good at anything if he joined it without interest! The CS graduates in Ethiopian are stupids without any knowledge in programming, and Ephrem if you claim that making the virus is easy, then why wouldn’t you make the antivirus coz its easier than making the Virus!! Everyone here reading this post, if you joined something only by considering the salary, you won’t ever be good at it and for all of the CS “graduates” in ethiopia, you don’t know anything and you will never know anything if you continue like this!!! Check out rohitab.com, its filled with genius highschool students that make programs that even the Professor in Ethiopia will never know how to make them!

    Dear Shebaw, ur comment is not constructive. Are sure about what u wrote, i don’t think. We have a number of IT solution providers who are solving a number of problems. anyway u can email me for real evidences.

    there r a number of C++ virus scripts on hackers and P2P site anyone with little programming skill specially in C++ can modify and increase the risk of the virus. Its is not a big deal nowadays.

    for those who r suffering from ~dulla^@204~ u files could be recovered partially, if u uses Easy Recovery Professional or Advanced Word repair programs. If can’t find the Software emailme at jaffermohATyahooDOTcom
    wishing u all including ephrem, all the best.

    shebaw said:

    @Jaffer, why is my comment not costructive? Is that because it pointed out the truth, im confused here!

    “We have a number of IT solution providers who are solving a number of problems”… what problems, do you call a stupid straight froward database to calculate some stupid calculations real programming? Where were they when dulla struck? Any real programmer can program a remover for dulla but it took them ages before they can manage that, that shows how inexperienced and dumb they are.

    If you have evidences, why don’t you post it here. You make it sound like some type of mesterious mission. And if programming a PE infector is that easy, then why did it take them so long. And how many of the CS graduates here can program a remover for it, how many? I bet 99.99% of the graduates don’t even know the difference between PE infector and some other script “viruses”, let alone knowing the structure of PE and programming a remover for a PE infector virus!!!
