More Information
W32/Rbot-ADZ is a network worm with backdoor Trojan functionality for the Windows platform.
The worm copies itself to a file named winis.exe in the Windows system folder and creates the following registry entries:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OLE
IE Runtimes
winis.exe
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
IE Runtimes
winis.exe
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
IE Runtimes
winis.exe
W32/Rbot-ADZ spreads using a variety of techniques including exploiting weak passwords on computers and SQL servers, exploiting operating system vulnerabilities (including DCOM-RPC, LSASS, WebDAV and UPNP) and using backdoors opened by other worms or Trojans.
W32/Rbot-ADZ can be controlled by a remote attacker over IRC channels. The backdoor component of W32/Rbot-ADZ can be instructed by a remote user to perform the following functions:
start an FTP server
start a Proxy server
start a web server
take part in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks
log keypresses
capture screen/webcam images
packet sniffing
port scanning
download/execute arbitrary files
start a remote shell (RLOGIN)
steal product registration information from certain software
Patches for the operating system vulnerabilities exploited by W32/Rbot-ADZ can be obtained from Microsoft at:
RPC-DCOM (MS04-012) security vulnerability
LSASS (MS04-011) security vulnerability
WebDAV (MS03-007) security vulnerability
UPNP (MS01-059) security vulnerability
