Win32.Mydoom.BA@mm

Aliases :

Win32.Mydoom.BA@mm is also known as Mytob.

Explanation :

This virus is another variant of the (now very large) Mytob/Mydoom family. This is possible because the sources of a previous variant have been leaked on the Internet.

At startup the virus copies itself in the %sysdir% directory under the name “scrigz.exe”. It adds itself in the HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun and Runservices keys to ensure start at every system startup.

It then lowers the IE security settings and disables shared access in the Windows Firewall.

With the system security compromised, the virus will then create several threads, each with various functions:

- Monitor the virus entries in the system registry, restoring them as needed periodically.

- Search and harvest e-mail addresses from files with the extensions: htm, adb, tbb, asp, php, xml, cgi, jsp, sht, html.

- Connect to a SMTP server obtained from the concatenation of one of his internal strings (gate., ns., relay., mail1., mxs., mx1., smtp., mail., mx.) and domain names extracted from the harvested e-mail addresses and send e-mails with his own SMTP engine. The virus will search for a SMTP server in the settings of Outlook Express also if it is defined.

- Connect to an IRC server and a channel and wait commands from the virus creator. Commands include various information about the system, and also the possibility to download and run malware indicated by the virus creator.

- Monitor a list of processes and kill them whenever they’re active. This is done by acquiring the “SeDebugPrivilege” prior to scanning for processes

The virus will overwrite the %sysdir%DriversEtchosts file, disabling the updates of certain AV programs and access to various security related web-sites.

E-mail format is chosen at random from various templates:
