F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Shatrix
Shatrix is a worm that spreads via the Internet being attached to
infected emails. The worm also spreads over local network by
copying to shared drives. The worm itself is a Windows PE EXE
file about 380Kb of length, written in Delphi.
The infected messages have:
Subject: FW:Shake a little
Body: Hi !
This will shake your world :-)
Regards,
%username%
Attach: SHAKE.EXE
where %username% is the name of user of an infected machine.
The worm activates from infected email only in case a user clicks
on attached file. The worm then installs itself to the system,
runs spreading routine and payload.
While installing the worm copies itself to Windows system
directory with the random name and registers that file in system
registry auto-run key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
SystemInfo = %worm file name%
To send infected messages the worm uses MS Outlook MAPI. To get
victim addresses the worm looks for and scans following files:
*.asp *.html *.htm
Depending on system date the worm creates random directories,
drops HTML files with texts which are randomly constructed from
strings:
MatriX is out there
MatriX has You...
MatriX is All around You
