The name of the attachment has a 7-characters-long filename, which will be randomly created.

Technical DetailsWhen the worm Worm/Atak.D is executed, it creates a copy of itself in the windows system directory (Windows9x: \Windows\System\ and Windows NT/2000/XP: \Windows\System32\ respectively) with the filename 'a1g.exe'.

The worm appends to the registry the following entry:

HKEY_CURRRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows
"load=%SystemDIR%\a1g.exe".


The file WIN.INI from the Windows directory will also be modified. The worm adds the following line to the file:

load = %SystemDIR%\a1g.ex

In order not to be executed twice, the worm Worm/Atak.D creates a mutex named 'mtxSSS'. The worm searches for email addresses in the files with the following extensions within all the local disks:

.log
.eml
.mht
.dbx
.asp
.php
.jsp
.htm
.txt

After browsing the system, the worm sends itself to those addresses using its own SMTP engine. Supposed that an email has got one of the following strings in the email address, the worm will not send itself to that address:

support
submit
none
virus
anti
