someone better than you, especially when you are all I want
You don

I sit with elders of a gentle race, whose world is seldom seen.Who sit and talk of days for which they wait, when all will be revealed.

Note the .exe or .scr file in the zip archive may not have the same name as the
attachement, but a random chosen name from the above list.
Upon execution, it drops four files into \"C:\\Windows\\System\"
directory, with the following purposes:
- i1ru54n4.exe is the virus unzipped. A key will be inserted in the
registry so that the file will be executed at every operating system
restart.
- ii5nj4.exe, a file which has the purpose of executing go54o.exe.
Injected in the explorer.exe address space.
- go54o.exe is the main component of the virus. Handles all the
mass-mailing.
- i1ru54n4.exeopen is the still the unzipped version of the virus, as
opposed to the previous versions.
The worm checks the date and if the date is after 25 March 2005 the
worm will exit, deleting all registry entries.
The worm will create the registry keys described in the "Symptoms"
sections, and starts a backdoor that will listen for commands on the
port 2745.
The worm will create a mutex named "imain_mutex" and create a series
of threads, performing various functions:
- every 100 milliseconds kill all proces with the name:
ATUPDATER.EXE
AVWUPD32.EXE
AVPUPD.EXE
LUALL.EXE
DRWEBUPW.EXE
ICSSUPPNT.EXE
ICSUPP95.EXE
UPDATE.EXE
NUPGRADE.EXE
ATUPDATER.EXE
AUPDATE.EXE
AUTODOWN.EXE
AUTOTRACE.EXE
AUTOUPDATE.EXE
AVXQUAR.EXE
CFIAUDIT.EXE
MCUPDATE.EXE
NUPGRADE.EXE
OUTPOST.EXE
AVLTMAIN.EXE
- every 2000 milliseconds check if connected to internet.
- every aproximately 28 hours the worm will connect to the
following addresses under the name "beagle2_proclivity":
http://postertog.de
http://www.gfotxt.net
http://www.maiklibis.de
The worm will search the host computer for the filenames with the
following extensions, extracting email addresses from them:
.wab
.txt
.htm
.html
.dbx
.mdx
.eml
.nch
.mmf
.ods
.cfg
.asp
.php
.adb
.sht
The worm will not send itself to addresses containing the following
strings:
@hotmail.com
@msn.com
@microsoft
@avp.
noreply
local
root@
postmaster@
The virus will search for directories on the harddisk whose names
contain "shar" and then copy itself to those directories under the
following names:
Microsoft Office 2003 Crack, Working!.exe
Microsoft Office XP working Crack, Keygen.exe
Microsoft Windows XP, WinXP Crack, working Keygen.exe
Porno Screensaver.scr
Porno, sex, oral, anal cool, awesome!!.exe
Porno pics arhive, xxx.exe
Serials.txt.exe
Windown Longhorn Beta Leak.exe
Windows Sourcecode update.doc.exe
XXX hardcore images.exe
Opera 8 New!.exe
WinAmp 5 Pro Keygen Crack Update.exe
WinAmp 6 New!.exe
Matrix 3 Revolution English Subtitles.exe
Adobe Photoshop 9 full.exe
Ahead Nero 7.exe
ACDSee 9.exe
Thus, the worm threatens the P2P networks as well.
Update: we received samples of yet another version, Win32.Bagle.G@mm. The functionality and manifestation of this version seems to be identical to that of Win32.Bagle.F@mm. The Free Removal Tool has been update to clean all versions of Bagle form C to G. Clean for the rest of the versions is available separately for download (search the description of Bagle.A/B@mm.)
Update #2: Win32.Bagle.H@mm is in sight. Technical differences:
- one of the registry entries has changed:
HKCU\Software\winword\frun with value "1" is now HKCU\Software\winexe, apparentely with no subkeys.
- dropped filenames have changed:
i1ru54n4.exe is now called i11r45n4.exe
ii5nj4.exe is now called i15n1j4.exe
go54o.exe is now called go154o.exe
- the user used to connect to the internet sites is now "544555"
- the subject possibilities have now shrunk to:

Hey, ya! =))

- the body changed also to one of the following:
Argh, i don't like the plaintext :)
I don't bite, weah!
Looking forward for a response :P
- the password text changed to:
archive password: %s
password: %s
password -- %s
pass: %s
%s -- archive password
...btw, "%s" is a password for archive
password for archive: %s

Protecting Children On-line Guide
How to secure and defend the digital experience of your kids
This document is intended for family, parents and teachers and its purpose is to help secure the digital activities of kids and teens. In an age when the mass production and accessibility of computers have turned these devices into regular family or household commodities, children get familiar with PCs and Internet from a very fresh age. Despite its obvious communication-related benefits, the WWW can also be a hazardous place for kids, with e-threats directly targeting their age group and their home or school computers.
This e-Guide covers the main risks and dangers for kids on-line, such as cyber-bulling, exposure to inappropriate content, on-line addiction and other harmful online actions, while also focusing on topics such as malware, phishing, ID theft and spam, to which teenagers, just as any other Internet users, are exposed nowadays.

Examples, tips and advice complement the case studies and provide readers with useful guidelines in their daily on-line routine.

H2 2011 E-Threat Landscape Report - Overview
Twenty years ago, a revolutionary means of electronic communication was born. It would become so popular with all ages and professions that it is still the most used data communication mechanism even today: introducing the SMS – the short message service.
Today, mobile phones are more than bulky gadgets that can move voice and messages from one point to another: they are must-have gear in a World 2.0 – so powerful and so complex, running their own operating systems and, consequently, facing their share of cyber-trouble. While the first six months of 2011 were marked by software vulnerabilities and high-profile data breaches, the second half cast the spotlight on not only a new family of malware, but also uncovered a user espionage scandal that apparently involved an array of mobile phone carriers and the controversial software vendor CarrierIQ.
The malware landscape was dominated by Trojan.Autorun.Inf and Win32.Worm.Downadup, two malicious contenders that have roots in the Windows XP era, but managed to keep their places even though operating system upgrades or applying patches would have solved security issues exploited by these pieces of malware. The top contenders for H2 2011 are Trojan.AutorunInf, Win32.Worm.Downadup, and Exploit.CplLnk.
Data breaches attributed to the Anonymous gang and its satellite hacking groups continued throughout the second half of 2011. Among the most important targets were Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Adidas, RIM, Tiroler Gebietskrankenkasse, Nexon and even the United Nations. Corporate trust also came under close scrutiny, as the DigiNotar incident in H1 2011 exposed unwary users to a massive phishing attack that used stolen digital certificates generated for high-profile institutions and government agencies such as Google, Tor, CIA and Israel’s Secret Service, the Mossad.
Social networks have also played a key role in disseminating malware and spreading fake news about the deaths of high-profile personalities such as Muammar Gaddafi or Steve Jobs. Of particular importance were the malicious campaigns built around the alleged movie of Gaddafi’s execution and the commemorative giveaway in honor of the late Steve Jobs.
