W32/Rbot-GTJ is a worm with IRC backdoor functionality for the Windows platform.

W32/Rbot-GTJ spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WKS (MS03-049) (CAN-2003-0812) and ASN.1 (MS04-007) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.

W32/Rbot-GTJ runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels.

When first run W32/Rbot-GTJ copies itself to <System>\csrs.exe.
