Summary
Brador is the first known backdoor for the Pocket PC hand-held devices.
When run, the backdoor copies itself to startup folder, mails the IP address of the PDA to the backdoor author and starts listening commands on a TCP port. The hacker can then connect back to the PDA via TCP port and control the PDA through the backdoor.
Brador has not been seen in the wild. It only runs on ARM-based Pocket PC devices that have Windows Mobile 2003 (Windows CE 4.2) or later.
Brador is a backdoor, not a virus. It will not spread on it's own.
