 |

| Quote: |
Allaple is a powerful polymorphic LAN and Internet worm. It uses a number of exploits to spread and performs a dictionary attack on network share passwords. The worm copies itself multiple times to a hard drive and also affects HTML files. In addition the worm performs a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on a few websites...The worm's file is polymorphically encrypted. It means that every copy of the worm is different from each other...After the worm's file is run it goes through the polymorphic decryptor and then proceeds to the static part of the code that allocates a memory buffer and extracts the main worm's code into it. Then the control is passed directly to the extracted worm's code.
After getting control, the worm creates a few threads. One thread scans for vulnerable computers (on TCP ports 139 and 445) and sends exploits there in order to infect them. The worm also tries to bruteforce network share passwords by performing a dictionary attack on them...The worm creates a different CLSID for every copy of itself that it creates on a hard drive. And the number of these copies can be quite large. The names of the worm's files are random...The following TCP ports used during the DoS attack: 22, 80, 97, 443... |
