Monday, 10 January 2005
W32.Spybot.HUR is a worm that has distributed denial of service and back door capabilities. The worm spreads to network shares protected by weak passwords and by exploiting system vulnerabilities.

Type: Worm
Infection Length: 83,968 bytes.

Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP

Once W32.Spybot.HUR is executed, it performs the following actions:


Copies itself as %System%wuaucrlt.exe.

Note: %System% is a variable that refers to the System folder. By default this is C:WindowsSystem (Windows 95/98/Me), C:WinntSystem32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:WindowsSystem32 (Windows XP).


Adds the value:

"*windows update" = "wuaucrlt.exe"

to the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciesRun
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServices
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciesRun

so that it is executed every time Windows starts.


Creates the following service:

Service name: *windows update
Image path: %System%wuaucrlt.exe


Opens a back door by connecting to the IRC channel #iso through TCP port 3515, on one or more of the following hosts:

x.x1secure.com
ssl.tichrondius.com

The worm will listen for commands that allow the attacker to perform the following actions:

Download and execute files
List, stop, and start processes and threads
Launch ACK, SYN, UDP, and ICMP denial of service attacks
Perform port redirection
Send files over IRC
Send email using its own SMTP engine
Start a local HTTP, FTP, or TFTP server
Search for files on the compromised computer
Log keystrokes to file
Access network shares and copy itself to those network shares
Scan the network for vulnerable hosts by means of port scanning
Captures screenshots, data from the clipboard, and video from webcams
Visit URLs
Flush the DNS and ARP caches
Open a command shell on the infected computer
Start a SOCKSv4 proxy server
Add and delete network shares and disable DCOM
Reboot the infected computer


Scans for vulnerable computers and tries to exploit one of the following vulnerabilities:

The DCOM RPC vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026).
The Microsoft Windows Local Security Authority Service Remote Buffer Overflow (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011).
The Microsoft Windows SSL Library Denial of Service Vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011).


The worm attempts to spread to randomly generated IP addresses by copying itself to network shares. The worm attempts to use the following list of passwords to access the network shares:

007
123
1234
12345
123456
1234567
12345678
123456789
