More Information
W32/Rbot-BCL is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-BCL spreads:
- to other network computers infected with: W32/MyDoom and W32/Bagle
- to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WebDav (MS03-007) and UPNP (MS01-059)
- by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords
W32/Rbot-BCL 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-BCL copies itself to <System>\dskmon32.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run dskmon32.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
diskchk32
dskmon32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
diskchk32
dskmon32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
diskchk32
dskmon32.exe
Registry entries are set as follows:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole
EnableDCOM
