Malware Behavior and Technical Description
This worm spreads via the Internet via file-sharing networks. It also spreads via IRC channels, open network resources, and as an attachment to infected messages. It sends itself to addresses harvested from the victim machine.
The worm itself is a Windows PE EXE file approximately 141KB in size, packed using UPX. The unpacked file is approximately 426KB in size.
InstallationOnce launched, the worm causes the following error message to be displayed:
The name of the worm file will be used in order to give the user the impression that the file cannot be executed.
When installing, the worm copies itself to the Windows system directory under the following names:
%System%\Image0X.scr %System%\KillUsa.exe
It also creates several copies of itself in the Windows system directory, using random names e.g.
%System%\ISZQ.scr
The worm creates a PKZIP utility in the system directory under the name bZip.exe. This is approximately 42KB in size. (îêîëî 42 ÊÁ). This is used to create archive copies of the worm in the same directory, under the name GZIP.ZIP. This file is approximately 127KB in size.
The worm also creates the following HTML files:
%Windir%\microsoftweb.htm C:\Bardiel.hta
The worm then registers its files in the system registry:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "NETCOMMAND503"="<path to copy of worm>" [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Run] "NETCOMMAND503"="<path to copy of worm>" [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows] "run"="<path to copy of worm>"
This ensures that the worm file will be launched each time Windows is rebooted on the victim machine.
The worm modifies the registry keys listed below. This means that when files with .bat, .com, .exe, .pif or .scr extensions are launched, a copy of the worm will be launched instead of these files.
[HKCR\batfile\shell\open\command] [HKLM\Software\Classes\batfile\shell\open\command] "default"="<path to copy of worm> %1" [HKCR\comfile\shell\open\command] [HKLM\Software\Classes\comfile\shell\open\command] "default"="<path to copy of worm> %1" [HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command] [HKLM\Software\Classes\exefile\shell\open\command] "default"="<path to copy of worm> %1" [HKCR\piffile\shell\open\command] [HKLM\Software\Classes\piffile\shell\open\command] "default"="<path to copy of worm> %1" [HKCR\scrfile\shell\open\command] [HKLM\Software\Classes\scrfile\shell\open\command] "default"="<path to copy of worm> %1"
The worm also modifies the following system registry values to block Task Manager and Registry Tools:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "DisableRegistryTools"="dword:00000001" "DisableTaskMgr"="dword:00000001"Propagation via P2P
The worm checks the victim machine for an installed P2P client (edonkey2000, emule, kazaa, morpheus and others). It then copies itself into the client's shared directories and open network resource directories under the following names:

This means that other users of the P2P client will be able to access the infected files.

%Temp%\bh.dat %Temp%\bl.dat %Temp%\bm.dat
The worm uses its own SMTP library to send infected messages.
