| Description | This memory-resident backdoor program has a server component and a client component. The client component controls a remote machine and can modify the server component to fit its need. It can scan IP addresses and look for opened ports.
(Note: A backdoor program is a Trojan specifically designed to allow malicious users to remotely manipulate affected systems. Like all Trojans, backdoors do not propagate. They are either installed inadvertently by unsuspecting users or intentionally by malicious users.) It also opens ports 29559 and 59211. This backdoor performs several malicious tasks, such as changing system settings and obtaining system information and passwords, on the remote machine. It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP. |
