More Information

W32/Sdbot-L is a worm with a backdoor component that spreads via weakly protected network shares and by exploiting a vulnerability in the RPC functionality of Windows NT based operating systems.

In order to run automatically when Windows starts up the worm copies itself to the Windows system folder and adds the following registry entries pointing to this file:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
\NT Logging Service

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
\NT Logging Service

W32/Sdbot-L attempts to copy itself to network shares by using all possible combinations of the following usernames and passwords:

e
database
sql
Root
admin
Guest
Administrator
