Network Infection In order to ensure its propagation the malware attemps to connect to other machines as described below.

It drops copies of itself to the following network shares:

   • C$\Winnt\System32
   • ADMIN$\System32
   • ADMIN$
   • IPC$
   • C$

Exploit:
It makes use of the following Exploits:
