W32/Netsky.C@mm

description-logoAnalysis


Specifics
Virus is 32 bit with a packed file size of 25,352 bytes, and is a minor variant of W32/Netsky.A-mm. There may be another strain of the same variant packed with a file size of 28,160 bytes however it is the same code only packed with a different packing utility. The 28,160 byte sample is identified using v4.229 definitions.
The virus contains code to send itself by email, and to write itself to folders which may be shared or related to P2P file sharing applications - the virus will also write itself to all subdirectories in the shared folders


Load At Windows Startup
If the virus is run, it will write itself to the system and modify the registry to auto run the virus at next Windows startup using the parameter "-stealth" -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
"ICQ Net" = "C:\WINNT\winlogon.exe -stealth"

Email Spreading
The virus contains code to send itself as an attachment to an email, to email addresses found on the target computer. The virus will scan the hard drive for email addresses; for each address found, the virus will attempt to use the mail exchange server related to the domain of the email address found; for instance, of the email address is "xyz" at company.com, the virus will run a DNS query for the MX record for "xyz.company.com", then try to send itself as an email attachment
