Strange that this one resurfaces just after we discussed Win shares t'other day. -----Original Message----- From: Hire, Ejay [mailto:Ejay.Hire@Broadslate.net] Sent: Friday, September 14, 2001 8:25 AM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: New Worm I was in error.

It appears to check for open win95/98/me netbios shares with read/write permission and installs wininit.exe (the scanner/infector) and the distributed.net client (In quiet Mode). Upon reboot, the scanner will start and search for infectable hosts during periods of inactivity. The windows 2000 pro pc seems unaffected. I will make the files available for dis-assembly if anyone is interested. To check for infection, look for the following files in c:/windows/system wininit.exe --Application wininit.log --Apparent Log file info.dll --Apparent Log file dnetc.exe -- Distributed.net client dnetc.ini -- Distributed.net config Buff-in.* -- Distributed.net work units ms216.exe -- Unknown, but the timestamp matched the other files...
