On Windows NT-based systems the backdoor can start as a service.
Creating an IRC bot
The backdoor is controlled via an IRC bot, that is created on a
certain IRC server in a specific channel when the backdoor's file
is active. The following oprerations can be performed with via a
bot:
* display bot info
* terminate bot
* resolve host/ip by DNS
* start executable file
* display current bot ID
* change a nickname of a bot
* open any file
* remove bot
* generate random name for a bot
* get bot status
* display system info
* check bot's uptime
* quit the bot
* flush bot's DNS cache
* delete shares and disable DCOM
* download and execute a file from ftp server
* update the bot from ftp server
* download a file from ftp server
* download and execute a file from http server
* update the bot from http server
* download a file from http server
* log off current user
* shutdown a computer
* reboot a computer
* kill specified process
* list all processes
* change IRC server that the bot connects to
* reconned to IRC server
* send a message to IRC server
* send a private message
* part a channel
* print network info
* change channel mode
* join a specified channel
* disconnect from IRC
* list all available commands
* redirect HTTP traffic
* create proxy on certain ports
Collecting e-mail addresses
The bot can harvest e-mail addresses. It has the functionality to
read user's Address Book and send the list of e-mail addresses to
the bot operator.
Scanning for unpatched computers
The backdoor can scan subnets for exploitable computers and send
a list of their IPs to the bot operator. The scan is performed on
ports 80, 135 and 445 for RPC/DCOM (MS03-026), RPC/Locator
(MS03-001) and WebDAV (MS03-007) vulnerabilities.
Performing a DDoS attack
The backdoor can perform the following types of DDoS (Distributed
Denial of Service) attacks:
* HTTP flood
* SYN flood
* UDP flood
* PING flood
The attack can not be performed on the following sites:
