Emotet failed attempt at Reversing

Just documenting my attempts for my own learning at reversing Emotet unpacker.

This may not be correct, I'm just learning so I may be completely misunderstanding or missing things

Interesting APIs to maybe try to break on

MoveFileExA (kernel32)
CreateProcessInternalW (kernel32)
RtlIPv4StringToAddress (ntdll)
UrlCanonicalizeW (SHLWAPI)
GetAddressInfoExW (WS2_32)
HttpSendRequestW (WinInet)

assembly basics: strcmp ; test eax, eax

push eax (1st string to compare)
push ecx (2nd string to compare)
call strcmp (do the compare using C library ... if same EAX = 0, if different EAX = 1)
test eax, eax (same as 'and eax, eax' ... so if EAX = 0 ZF = 1 ... if EAX = 1 ZF = 0)
jz loc_40124C (so jump if zero jumps if ZF = 1 ... which is when EAX = 0)

------

In simpler terms
- compare the 2 strings
- if same
  - EAX gets set to 0
  - ZF gets set to 1
  - JZ will jump because ZF = 1
- if different
  - EAX gets set to 1
  - ZF gets set to 0
  - JZ will NOT jump because ZF = 0

------

In simplest terms 
  if you see " strcmp ; test ; jz "
    JZ green if the 2 strings are the same (0)
    JZ red if the 2 strings are different (non 0)

  if you see " strcmp ; test ; jnz "
    JNZ green if the 2 strings are different (non 0)
    JNZ red if the 2 strings are the same (0)

  if you see " strlen; test ; jz "
    JZ green if empty string (0)
    JZ red if non-empty string (non 0)

  if you see " strlen ; test ; jnz "
    JNZ green if non-empty string (non 0)
    JNZ red if empty string (0)

  if you see " call; test ; jz "
    JZ green if function call successful (0)
    JZ red if function call failed (non 0)

  if you see " call ; test ; jnz "
    JNZ green if function call failed (non 0)
    JNZ red if function call successful (0)

  if you see " cmp ; test ; jz "
    JZ green if the 2 numbers are the same (0)
    JZ red if the 2 numbers are different (non 0)

  if you see " cmp ; test ; jnz "
    JNZ green if the 2 numbers are different (non 0)
    JNZ red if the 2 numbers are the same (0)


Jump arrows
Green: if condition is satisfied (JZ=0, JNZ=non-0)
Red: if the condition is not satisfied (JZ=non-0, JNZ=0)

bettercap missing local to local traffic

issue i ran into

had 3 virtualbox vms
1.) linux running python SimpleHTTPServer, simulates a website, network set to "internal network"
2.) windows accessing the linux website in #1 above, simulates the victim, network set to "internal network"
3.) kali running bettercap, arp.spoof.targets = linux server #1 above and windows #2 above, will do MiTM (man-in-the-middle) against the 2 systems above, network set to "internal network"

Issue I ran into is that with ettercap (no 'b') it worked great, I could see the traffic going from windows box to linux web server ... BUT with bettercap the arp spoof seemed to work but the traffic was nowhere to be found when using tools like "net.sniff" or "https.proxy" on bettercap.

Root Cause:
    By default ettercap (no 'b') captures all traffic (local & external)
    By default bettercap only captures external traffic & ignores local to local traffic

Fix:
    set arp.spoof.internal true
    set net.sniff.local true

The enables capture of internal traffic and now I started seeing it!
