Exploit:
It makes use of the following Exploits:
– MS03-026 (Buffer Overrun in RPC Interface)
– MS03-039 (Buffer Overrun in RPCSS Service)
– MS04-007 (ASN.1 Vulnerability)
– MS04-011 (LSASS Vulnerability)
– MS05-039 (Vulnerability in Plug and Play)

IP address generation:
It creates random IP addresses while it keeps the first two octets from its own address. Afterwards it tries to establish a connection with the created addresses.

Infection process:
Creates a TFTP script on the compromised machine in order to download the malware to the remote location.

Remote execution:
–It attempts to schedule a remote execution of the malware, on the newly infected machine. Therefore it uses the NetScheduleJobAdd function.

IRC To deliver system information and to provide remote control it connects to the following IRC Servers:

Server: voodoo.movie**********
Port: 4667
Server password: 420timeweedrocks
Channel: #Drug-Rulez
Nickname: Drug|Heads-%five-digit random character string%
