More Information
W32/Rbot-DRD is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-DRD spreads to other network computers by:
- exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WebDav (MS03-007), IIS5SSL (ms04-011) (CAN-2003-0719), UPNP (MS01-059) and Dameware (CAN-2003-1030)
- backdoors left open by the Troj/Kuang, Troj/Sub7, Troj/NetDevil, W32/MyDoom, W32/Bagle and Troj/Optix family of worms and Trojans
- network shares protected by weak passwords
W32/Rbot-DRD 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-DRD copies itself to <System>\snowing.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run snowing.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
IE9
snowing.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
IE9
snowing.exe
The following registry entry is set:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OLE
IE9
snowing.exe
W32/Rbot-DRD includes functionality to:
- access the internet and communicate with a remote server via HTTP
- log keystrokes
- perform DDoS attacks
- setup a SOCKS4 server
