Detailed Description

The executable is a file of around 10KB.

Installation to system

When the backdoor's file is activated on a computer, it copies its file to Windows System folder as 'wintbpx.exe' and then starts the copied file. Then it adds the following registry entries to ensure that it is started when a user logs on or the system is restarted:

 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
 "Wintbpx" = "wintbpx.exe"

Spreading using PnP exploit

The backdoor has the ability to spread to remote computers using the PNP exploit on port 445. If the attack is successful a shell (cmd.exe) is started on port 8563. Through the shell port, the worm sends a tftp script which instructs the remote computer to download and execute the worm from the attacker computer using built-in TFTP server listening on port 69.

Here's the summary of the ports used in attack:

Port 445 - The worm scans for systems vulnerable to PnP exploit through this port

Port 69 - TFTP server port on infected systems

Port 8563 - The command shell port opened by the exploit code

Please see the following page for detailed information on the vulnerability:
