It provides a step-by-step wizard to select the folders to be synchronized, the direction of the synchronization and option to set file masks to limit the transfer to specific file types. Your settings can be saved as projects, so they can be quickly re-used later.

The key for locally stored FTP server passwords is hard-coded in the binary. Passwords encoded as hex are coverted to decimal which is then computed by adding the key "97F" to the result. The key 97F seems to be the same for all executables across all systems. Finally, passwords are stored as decimal values. If a user chooses to save the project the passwords are stored in ".CFTP" local configuration files. They can be found under "C:\Users\<VICTIM>\AppData\Roaming\Neowise\CarbonFTPProjects". e.g. Password=STRING|"2086721956209392195620939" Observing some very short password examples we see interesting patterns: 27264 27360 27360 27360 27360 = a 27520 27617 27617 27617 27617 = b 27266 27616 27360 27361 27616 = aab 27521 27616 27616 27616 27616 = ba Password encryption/decryption is as follows. Encryption process example. 484C as decimal is the value 18508 97F hex to decimal is the value 2431 (encrypt key) 18508 + 2431 = 20939, the value 20939 would then represent the ascii characters "HL". To decrypt we just perform the reverse of the operation above. 20939 - 2431 = 18508 Next, convert the decimal value 18508 to hex and we get 484C. Finally, convert the hex value 484C to ascii to retrieve the plaintext password of "HL". CarbonFTP passwords less than nine characters are padded using chars from the current password up until reaching a password length of nine bytes. The two char password "XY" in encrypted form "2496125048250482504825048" is padded with "XY" until reaching a length of nine bytes "XYXYXYXYX". Similarly, the password "HELL" is "2086721956209392195620939" and again is padded since its length is less than nine bytes. Therefore, we will get several cracked password candidates like: "HELLHELL | HELLHEL | HELLH | HELL | HEL | HE | HELLHELLH" However, the longer the password the easier it becomes to crack them, as we can decrypt passwords in one shot without having several candidates to choose from with one of them being the correct password. Therefore, "LOOOOONGPASSWORD!" is stored as the encrypted string "219042273422734224782298223744247862350210947" and because it is greater than nine bytes it is cracked without any candidate passwords returned. >From offset 0047DA6F to 0047DAA0 is the loop that performs the password decryption process. Using the same password "HELL" as example.

At offset 0047DA8D, 97F is subtracted at [ebp-8] local variable which equals the decimal value 2431 (hex 97F) we also see EAX holds the value 55C4 sub eax,dword ptr ss:[ebp-8] therefore, 55C4 – 97F = 4C45 <======= ENCRYPT/DECRYPT KEY PROCESS. mov word ptr ds:[esi],ax add esi, 2 which is 4C45 + 2 = 4C47 <===== THEN Given a two letter combination like "HL": 484C as decimal is 18508 97F hex to decimal is 2431 18508 + 2431 = 20939 = "HL" Done!
