More Information

Troj/Ranck-AX is a Trojan proxy server.

The Trojan provides an HTTP proxy server on a random port number between 10000 and 50000. The Trojan advertises itself by submitting this port number to a preconfigured PHP script on each of several webservers specified by the author.

Troj/Ranck-AX adds the following registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
bbdjmrxcX = <path>

(where <path> is the location of the Trojan executable.)
