This is not really a new thing. It looks to me like it is a modified version of GT (Global Threat) a mIRC zombie that is mainly used as a irc flood/packet net. The original was written a year or two back, just some bright spark has decided to register a domain, and then "social engineer" it around the network. This happens quite often on DALnet (why doesnt that suprise me?). It is nothing to worry about, it is probably some 14 year old sitting at home trying to ./packet his school, or something lame like that. The majority of the people who will be silly enough to download and execute this bot, will never see these posts so why concern ourselves with some 14 year-old's pipe dream? _____________________________________________________________ Get your Free, Private email at: http://email.nu/ _____________________________________________________________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with emailat_private by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
