Malware

Well we may as well talk about Malware as it is all over the news and there have been a number of people arrested using the Zeus Builder.

Spyeye is another nasty little botnet that is setup to kill installed Zeus bots.

How does it all work you may say.

Builder that builds the Server and the Config file

the server and config file are hosted.

Drive by downloads seem to be the popular way to infect - so keep your AV up to date.

The problem is that you are not going to get the undetectable ones. Bummer you say.

Well your just going to have to use TCPview or Wireshark to look at the traffic from your system.

The other option is to move to Linux.

Any comments, downloads, forums etc.

Keep your MS patches up to date as well.

I'm loving the way Stuxnet is working. Obviously produced by the israelis, can they kill it if they want toor is out there forever. No doubt others will get hold of the code and use it for their own purposes.

Very interesting that it infects industrial control systems that are controlled by pc's. What else will it do? The cunning thing is that no-one really knows what it does until it actually happens.

They say it was written someone who works or worked at Siemens - thats what a guy at Sophos says.
