More Information
Troj/Stinx-D is a backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
Troj/Stinx-D 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.
Troj/Stinx-D may arrive as an attachment to an email with the subject line 'Photo Approval Needed'. The filename used is 'Photo + Article.exe'.
When first run Troj/Stinx-D 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-D can be instructed to delete, execute, and download and execute
files.
Troj/Stinx-D will also try and circumvent the Windows Firewall if it is
present.
