More Information

Troj/Lecna-D is a backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.

Troj/Lecna-D includes functionality to access the internet and communicate with a remote server via HTTP.

When first run Troj/Lecna-D copies itself to <Windows system folder>\WINDOWSUPDATE.EXE and creates the file <Windows system folder>\drivers\USBTest.sys.

The file USBTest.sys is detected by Sophos's anti-virus products as Troj/RKPort-Fam.

The file USBTest.sys is registered as a new system driver service named "USBTest", with a display name of "USBTest". Registry entries are created under:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBTest\

Troj/Lecna-D downloads a file from a preconfigured URL to netscv.exe in the Windows folder and executes it.

The Trojan reduces the security on certain network shares by setting the following registry entry:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
forceguest
0

Troj/Lecna-D also creates registry entries for its own use under:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentNetInf\
