Scan for specific MD5 or SHA hashes?

We have a reqeust to scan our PC's for files with specific MD5 SHA hashes, is there a way that I can add these to Sophos? 

This is relating to the Anthem/DeepPanda attack, we are not accosiated with Anthem but would like to take measures to protect ourselves.

Thanks.

  • Hello Lee7,

    are you searching for files with specific names (about 20% of those listed don't have a hash) and is this supposedvto be an on-demand scan? Or do you want them to be caught by the on-access scanner?

    And - no, you can't instruct SAV to scan for specific files and/or properties. A one-time scan for files with one of a few hashes isn't rocket-science anyway (guess there are even free tools with decent performance which can do this).

  • Hi QC, thanks for the reply.

    We want to scan for the hashes because as you know the filename can change. We actually wanted to use Sophos to detect and quarantene/delete these files using the on-access scanner or at least the full scanner. I am not sure how this information came about but apparently these files were used in the recent Anthem attack.

    I will look for a tool to manually do a once-off scan just to make sure we do not currently have these files on any of our PC's.

    Thanks.

  • Hello Lee7,

    the filename can change [...] I am not sure how this information came about

    as can the hash (apparently at least two variants of dump32 and lsremora32 have been found). The preferred method is to send a sample to Labs (whoever computed the hash must have {had} one). Hashes are suitable for identification of a specific file but not for detection of a specific threat (all you have to do is to change a single bit in an otherwise unused location to get a completely different hash).

    Can't say what kind of assistance Sophos might offer (and how much they'd charge) but I'd suggest that you also contact Support.
