The worm contains a backdoor, which receives commands via IRC. InstallationOnce launched, the worm copies itself to the Windows system directory as "wincfg32.exe" %System%\wincfg32.exe It then registers itself in the Windows system registry, ensuring that the worm is launched each time Windows is rebooted on the victim machine: [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices] "Windows Configuration" = "wincfg32.exe" It also changes the following system registry key in order to block the Shared Access service: [HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess] "Start" = "4" It changes a range of keys in the following part of the system registry in order to modify Internet Explorer security settings: [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3] Propagation via emailThe worm sends itself to email addresses harvested from the Windows address books and files with the following extensions: adb asp cgi dbx htm html jsp php pl sht tbb txt wab xml The worm does not harvest addresses which contain the following text strings: .gov .mil abuse accoun acketst admin admin administrator anyone arin. avp berkeley borlan bsd bsd bugs ca certific contact example feste fido foo. fsf. gnu gold-certs google google gov. help hotmail iana ibm.com icrosof icrosoft ietf info info inpris isc.o isi.e kernel linux linux listserv mail math me mit.e mozilla msn. mydomai no nobody nodomai noone not nothing ntivi page panda pgp postmaster privacy rating register rfc-ed ripe. root ruslis samples secur secur sendmail service service site soft somebody someone sopho spam spm submit support support syma tanford.e the.bat unix unix usenet utgers.ed webmaster webmaster www you your The worm establishes a direct connection to the recipient's SMTP server in order to send infected messages.
