More Information
W32/Rbot-AJB is a worm with backdoor functionality for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-AJB 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-AJB copies itself to <Windows system folder>\tabletsk32.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run tabletsk32.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Tablet Task
tabletsk32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Tablet Task
tabletsk32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Tablet Task
tabletsk32.exe
W32/Rbot-AJB can be controlled by a remote attacker over IRC channels. The backdoor component of W32/Rbot-AGS 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
