Detailed Description
|
Installation to system
When the worm's file is started it displays a fake error messagebox:
Error!
Can't find a viewer associated with the file.
Then it copies itself to Windows System folder as regmaping.exe file and also creates copies of itself with the following names:
regmaping.exeopen
regmaping.exeopenopen
The startup registry key value is then created for the copied file:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Regmonitor" = "%WinSysDir%\regmaping.exe"
where %WinSysDir% represents Windows System folder. The worm creates several mutexes:

Spreading to shared folders
When the worm scans a hard drive, it looks for folders that have 'shar' substring in their names. If such folder is found, the worm copies itself to that folder with the following names:
anna benson sex video.exe
kate beckinsale nude pictures.exe
jenna elfman sex anal deepthroat
miss america Porno, sex, oral, anal cool, awesome!!.exe
Porno Screensaver.scr
Serials.txt.exe

Windows Sourcecode update.doc.exe
Ahead Nero 10.exe
Windown Vista Beta Leak.exe
IE beta 7.exe
Serials 2005 database.exe
XXX hardcore images.exe
Adobe Photoshop 9 full.exe
Payload
The worm also drops a file named winresw.exe to Windows folder and starts it. This file is a trojan downloader that downloads and runs files from Internet.
Also the worm starts a backdoor on port 6777. The backdoor allows to update the worm's file from Internet.
Bagle.FM worm deletes certain values from the following Registry keys:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
These values are:
My AV
Zone Labs Client Ex
9XHtProtect
Antivirus
Special Firewall Service
service
Tiny AV
ICQNet
HtProtect
NetDy
Jammer2nd
FirewallSvr
MsInfo
SysMonXP
EasyAV
PandaAVEngine
Norton Antivirus AV
KasperskyAVEng
SkynetsRevenge
ICQ Net
The worm starts a thread that periodically accesses the 'ijj.t35.com' website. This site contains a page to download some third-party Registry cleaning software and the worm tries to artificially increment the number of hits for that page.
Other
The worm has the original Bagle's author text in its body:
In a difficult world
In a nameless time
I want to survive
So, you will be mine!!
