Actually while setting up a honeypot, I got it infected with a trojan, which I am going to analyze shortly. After 4.5 hours of being on the net, I was hit on port 445, and after the infection took place, the machine began spamming out packets on port 445 to IP addresses incrementing the 4th octet (24.222.5.6, 24.222.5.7, 24.222.5.8, etc). The scans were pretty quick. A short time later I was getting traffic from my machine destined to a remote machine on port 6667, so it is likely that it is some kind of IRC trojan like Backdoor.IRC.Zcrew or something. I'm not cleaning it until I'm finished the analysis. The interesting thing is I had a similar thing happen to a client's PC at the office last week, and I had to clean that as well. It was infected with Backdoor.IRC.Zcrew. I believe incidents.org mentioned that this trojan (or trojans like it) are back on the rise. -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Brian McWilliams [mailto:brian@pc-radio.com] Sent: March 4, 2003 16:00 To: Charles Hamby; incidentsat_private Subject: Re: TCP 445 Scan? Maybe it's this new worm? http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.html?id=59741 Worm.Win32.Randon Randon is a Virus-Worm distributed via IRC-channels and LANs with shared resources. When executed this worm installs its components into the subdirectory zxz and/or zx in the Windows system directory and registers its main file and the mIRC client in the Windows registry auto-run key (below): HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\updateWins Randon then executes the above key and hides the process via the HideWIndows utility. Randon connects to the IRC-server and executes its scripts. In addition to DDoS attacks and IRC channel flooding, Randon scans port 445 of other IRC clients.
