The code was written using a custom OO C framework, based on macros
or custom preprocessor directives. This was suggested by your
comments, because it is the most common way to combine object-oriented
programming with C.

Here let me re-quote my email for prosperity

Yea, I have been thinking on ideas for that as well, I see no one has
thought outside the box yet.

I would look into OO'ed C (www.planetpdf.com/codecuts/pdfs/ooc.pdf) as
being a possibility. Long before in the time when the mighty C++ was
young, it was translated to C code for compilation. I have not had the
time to dig into it yet to see how you could code it in OO C style
code yet. You can implement much of the functionality of OO parts of
C++ including virtual functions and other things.

Well, these are my thoughts on it. More speculation at the moment but
might be of use to someone.

So, next time I would suggest actually reading and understanding what
I post to the mailing list instead of cheerleader with that crappy
told and not told meme.

 LISP would refer to specific constructor/destructor vtable entries as
 cons and there would be no destructor at all.  The structs use vtables
 which refer to ctor and dtor, which indicates that the vtables were
 most likely generated using a C++ compiler (since that is standard
 nomenclature for C++ compiler symbols).  It pretty much has to be
 Microsoft COM.  The struct layouts pretty much *reek* of Microsoft COM
 when used with a detached vtable (such as if the implementation is
 loaded from a COM object file).  The fact that specific vtable entries
 aren't mangled is also strong evidence of it being Microsoft COM (since
 there is no need to mangle vtable entries of a COM object due to type
 information already being known in the COM object).

 If it looks like COM, smells like COM, and acts like COM, then it's
 probably COM.  It certainly isn't some new programming language like
 Kaspersky says.  That's just the dumbest thing I've heard this year.

I think EVERYONE said it was a C implementation + something to get it to
C.  The interesting part that they glossed over, was the randomness in how
arguments were passed.  They specifically left that part out of the solved
analysis.  Just my 2 cents.

I don't know enough about COM to have an opinion on this analysis (I don't do 
any work in Windows anymore) -- but if this is the case why is it stumping not 
just Kaspersky, but others as well?

The reason I mention Lisp is the ease with which it can be implemented in 
arbitrary ways via Bison -- not because there is anything even approaching a 
canonical implementation that always does things a certain way. The huge 
variety of Lisp implementations is why I wouldn't quite so quickly say things 
like there would be no destructor, because that is implementation specific. 
Ruby is/was written this way (not sure if the late versions are, haven't kept 
up), as are a large number of the GNU constellation language implementations (I 
think there was an Ada implementation written this way as well). The end result 
is pretty unpredictable if you just look at the language spec and then a binary 
with nothing in between, because the way the language compiler or preprocessing 
is done can really change things around a lot.

After posting I read through a few comments on the Kaspersky post and some 
interesting discussion focused around both Lisp and SOO, but the timeline for 
SOO doesn't match up.

Anyway, I'm idly curious now to see what the final verdict is -- and if its COM 
that would give me a chuckle.

Thanks for writing a real response, by the way. I don't understand what is 
going on with this list being overrun by HaX0rz and the noisy.

 1. [Caveat] I say Lisp but some other languages come to mind as well;
 maybe Haskell would come out that way. I'm not sure because I'm most
 familiar with Lisp and know it can be cobbled with C/C++ without
 complications because of the way most of its C-based implementations
 work. Anyway, if I were looking for a lock on how this code was
 produced, I would ignore C-based languages and focus instead on
 languages that behave this way natively first, because I think that's
 the least exotic explanation for the features this segment of code exhibits.

LISP would refer to specific constructor/destructor vtable entries as 
cons and there would be no destructor at all.  The structs use vtables 
which refer to ctor and dtor, which indicates that the vtables were 
most likely generated using a C++ compiler (since that is standard 
nomenclature for C++ compiler symbols).  It pretty much has to be 
Microsoft COM.  The struct layouts pretty much *reek* of Microsoft COM 
when used with a detached vtable (such as if the implementation is 
loaded from a COM object file).  The fact that specific vtable entries 
aren't mangled is also strong evidence of it being Microsoft COM (since 
there is no need to mangle vtable entries of a COM object due to type 
information already being known in the COM object).

If it looks like COM, smells like COM, and acts like COM, then it's 
probably COM.  It certainly isn't some new programming language like 
Kaspersky says.  That's just the dumbest thing I've heard this year.

Do you have any suggestions as to what C++ compiler could generate
such code in such a case and how one could generate similar code that
matches the decompiled parts? Granted their theory of a new language
is moonbatty but I think they have the knowledge to recognize a common
compiler.

As for ctor and dtor, I am pretty sure they were marked by the
researcher doing the decompiling or the decompiler and no such symbol
names are in the executable. I would conclude as such for the other
symbols named due to how they were named.

I do agree on the new language being possibly the dumbest insane
moonbat speculation of the year however I have heard a few other
things that win over that hands down ;)

VC++ generates code like this when used with COM.  The COM implementation used

Re: [Full-disclosure] The Mystery of the Duqu Framework

2012-03-10 Thread Christian Sciberras
At this point, I think someone (possibly the guys at securelist) ought to
define 'new programming language'.
By new I take it the writers would have created their own language. While
far from impossible, it's quite improbable.
It's possible someone out there decided something can't be achieved in any
language, and thus have created their own.

On the other hand, by 'new' it seems many people seem to relate to
'unconventional languages' as well.
There are many languages out there, some are far from anything related to
C++ (as much as the C++ fanboys want us not to believe).
So the mere speculation that it looks like 1% C++ here and there
simply hinders actual serious investigation.

I can think of at least 3 different languages not mentioned on securelist
nor on FD. I didn't suggest any of them simply because
I don't know what they generate (I'm not proficient in either of them) but
I do know they do not rely on any C++ compiler.
