222.77.242.65-2019-07-10a

Chinese web shell

Origin

IP Address 222.77.242.65

222.77.242.65 has no domain name.

222.77.242.65 is a Chinanet IP address.

inetnum:        222.76.0.0 - 222.79.255.255
netname:        CHINANET-FJ
descr:          CHINANET fujian province network
descr:          China Telecom
descr:          No1,jin-rong Street
descr:          Beijing 100032
country:        CN

p0f3 thinks that "Windows 7 or 8" ran that IP address.

Download

The attacker(s) invoked a URL ending in /wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/404.php That's a fairly common place for people to hid web shells and other backdoors.

The attacker(s) set stereotypical WSO web shell HTTP parameters and values.

Name Value
a FilesMAn
c /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/
p1 uploadFile
charset Windows-1251

Windows-1251 is an 8-bit character encoding designed to do Cyrillic writing.

The file downloaded would have been named l.php.

The HTTP headers include a User Agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.131

that confirms the "Windows 7 or 8" judgement about the attacking computer. The preferred language of the computer's user was Chinese:

zh-CN,zh;q=0.9

That matches the attack coming from a China Telecom address, but that's a pretty weak link.
