More Information

Troj/Stinx-C is a backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.

Troj/Stinx-C 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 Troj/Stinx-C copies itself to <System>\cstsm.exe.

The following registry entries are created to run cstsm.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
WindowsDiskLog
cstsm.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
WindowsDiskLog
cstsm.exe

Troj/Stinx-C can be instructed to delete, execute, and download and execute files.

Troj/Stinx-C will also try and circumvent the Windows Firewall if it is present.
