More Information
W32/Tilebot-U is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Tilebot-U spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer
overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012),
PNP (MS05-039) and ASN.1 (MS04-007) and by copying itself to network shares
protected by weak passwords.
W32/Tilebot-U 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.
W32/Tilebot-U includes functionality to access the internet and communicate
with a remote server via HTTP.
When first run W32/Tilebot-U copies itself to <Windows>\svch0st.exe and creates
the file <System>\rdriv.sys.
The file rdriv.sys is detected as Troj/Rootkit-W.
The file svch0st.exe is registered as a new system driver service named
"BoolTern", with a display name of "BoolTern" and a startup type of automatic,
so that it is started automatically during system startup. Registry entries are
created under:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BoolTern\
The file rdriv.sys is registered as a new system driver service named "rdriv",
with a display name of "rdriv". Registry entries are created under:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rdriv\
W32/Tilebot-U sets the following registry entries, disabling the automatic
startup of other software:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger
Start
4
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteRegistry
Start

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TlntSvr

Registry entries are created under:

W32/Tilebot-U can be obtained from the Microsoft website:
