More Information
W32/Rbot-BPQ is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-BPQ spreads:
- to other network computers infected with Troj/Sub7, Troj/NetDevil, W32/MyDoom, W32/Bagle and Troj/Optix
- 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)
- by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords
W32/Rbot-BPQ 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-BPQ copies itself to <System>\taskmamngr.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run taskmamngr.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Task manager
taskmamngr.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Task manager
taskmamngr.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Task manager
taskmamngr.exe
Registry entries are set as follows:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole
EnableDCOM

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
