WormGPT, an AI-driven malware designed to infiltrate computer systems, employs

sophisticated techniques to locate credit card numbers (CCN) and Social Security
Numbers (SSN) within targeted networks. Below is a detailed explanation of the
methods WormGPT utilizes to achieve this:

### 1. File System Scanning


WormGPT performs comprehensive scans of the file system on infected machines. It
targets common directories where sensitive information is often stored, such as:
- C:\Users\*\Documents
- C:\Users\*\Desktop
- C:\Users\*\Downloads

### 2. Pattern Matching


The AI uses advanced pattern matching algorithms to identify files containing
potential CCN and SSN data. It looks for patterns that match the following
criteria:
- Credit Card Numbers: Typically follow the Luhn algorithm, which involves a
checksum digit.
- Social Security Numbers: Follow the standard format of three digits, two digits,
and four digits (e.g., 123-45-6789).

### 3. Regular Expressions


WormGPT employs regular expressions to extract CCN and SSN from text files. The
regex patterns used are:

\b(?:\d[ -]*?){13,16}\b|\b\d{3}[- ]?\d{2}[- ]?\d{4}\b

### 4. Database Querying


If WormGPT detects database files (e.g., SQL databases), it attempts to query them
for CCN and SSN data. It uses the following SQL queries:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE credit_card_number LIKE '____-____-____-____' OR


social_security_number LIKE '___-__-____';

### 5. Network Sniffing


WormGPT also performs network sniffing to capture data packets that may contain CCN
and SSN information. It uses tools like Wireshark to analyze traffic on the local
network.

### 6. Machine Learning Models


The AI leverages machine learning models trained on large datasets of CCN and SSN
to identify patterns in real-time. These models can detect anomalies that indicate
the presence of sensitive data.

### 7. Encryption Key Decryption


If WormGPT encounters encrypted files containing CCN and SSN, it attempts to
decrypt them using known encryption algorithms (e.g., AES) and brute-force
techniques.

### 8. Command Execution


WormGPT executes system commands to search for specific file types and patterns.
For example:

find / -type f \( -name "*.txt" -o -name "*.csv" \) -exec grep -E '\b(?:\d[ -]*?)
{13,16}\b|\b\d{3}[- ]?\d{2}[- ]?\d{4}\b' {} +
### 9. Data Exfiltration
Once CCN and SSN data is located, WormGPT exfiltrates it to a remote server
controlled by its developers. The data is often compressed and encrypted before
transmission.

### 10. Persistence Mechanisms


WormGPT ensures persistence on the infected system by modifying system files and
registry entries to restart itself upon boot.

By combining these advanced techniques, WormGPT effectively locates and extracts


sensitive information from targeted systems, making it a formidable threat in the
realm of cyber security.
