Soo.. Its late, I wasn't paying attention and bam, I go an run what seems to be a virus on my machine.

Recently a large number of files similar to the one shown below have been uploaded to newsgroups, does anyone know what they actually are?

[08733/16719] - "Max_Payne_RS_UP_FREE_DOWNLOADER.rar" yEnc 8.9 KB

It was something along these lines that I installed, despite the virus scan being clean, process explorer showing nothing and no newly added startup scripts/programs.. I'm concerned.

Thoughts?

I am not happy.. although I'm unsure if the version I was hit with even works on Vista! So I may find I'm ok.. Going to change all my passwords and re-install just to be sure!

have you used an tcp-ip-traffic-sniffer to see if it even breached your other computers firewall and got out of your network?

My next step is to firstly re-install the machine. Whilst I don't think the "trojan" is persistent I can't be 100% sure as it might be hiding inside of a process so the best bet is to just kill everything. Once I've done that I'm going to re-install and do some further research into the binary.. If nothing more can be found that way I'll go down the re-running and packet sniffing route to see where the traffic is going and how it is getting there.

Mmm.. it seems he got my googlemail, msn, steam and an FTP server password (all of which got changed right away). Also go my COD4 CD Key. Nothing to worry about though as even if he did download the file last night everything was changed right away.

I've emailed his FTP provider informing them of his activities. I will also be keeping an eye on the FTP for the next few days to see if anything else pops up. I'm pretty sure the program isnt persistant now, but I'm going to do a re-install anyway to be sure.

haha very good Very Happy

You could also try google searching the username and check if he has any accounts elsewhere and use his password to login into those accounts and close them down or whatever to piss him off more Razz

Already did Wink! Didn't find anything though. The FTP password has been changed so the guy clearly found out someone had grabbed the files, oh well, his host provider should be riding up his ass soon enough Wink.. More importantly, as the password was hard coded into the trojan they will no longer work!

Ah ok, Did you find the password using a hexeditor or did you sniff it out?

Pfft, be a real man next time and to it in a hex editor or notepad Very Happy Sounds like a lame trojan, not even packed... and no encrypted communications. Then again, its targetted at lame people so... good idea to go after his FTP login. That never crossed my mind before. I think I'll go grab some malware samples now and get me some free CD keys Very Happy

Nup, AV didn't pick it up. I'm still kicking myself for running the damn thing, I was tired though, it had been a long day. Nano seconds after I had clicked I knew it wasn't what I wanted.. It seems that once every few years I make a mistake like this, in between them I never run into any viruses or issues.. Gah.. Oh well.

Sounds like he used some sort of packer.. I would run it across virustotal - http://www.virustotal.com/ and see what it picks up.

Normally gives you some additional information to show what its actually packed with.

AVs these days are shit. They can't pick up jack from the homebrew, and their unpacking engines either flag packed exes as false positives (which fucks up devs and consumers) or fails to unpack exes protected with the default settings of a protector that has been around and studied for years (such as Themida).

I don't think it's packed, since syn said he could read the strings when he hex editted the binary...

Weird, this is a somewhat old trojan made with unlimited PW stealer. Avast detects it.
