tag:Trojan   Spy  

When launching, the Trojan performs the following actions:

  • gets all passwords stored in the system using an undocumented call function in WNetEnumCachedPasswords
  • tracks keystrokes within windows and gets information entered by the user
  • saves data to the following log file:
    %WinDir%\winlog.dat
    This log file is an HTML document. The title of windows used are saved to this file, as is the sequence of keystrokes within the windows.
  • send harvested information by email to the remote malicious user at the following address: *****web@gem.net.pk

The log file includes the IP address of the victim machine.

  1. Delete the original Trojan file (the location will depend on how the program originally penetrated the victim machine).
  2. Delete the following files: %System%\win2k2.exe
    %WinDir%\winlog.dat
  3. Delete the following system registry key parameter: [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
    "load" = "%System%\win2k2.exe"
  4. Update your antivirus databases and perform a full scan of the computer (download a trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus).

This Trojan is designed to intercept information entered via the keyboard. It is a Windows PE EXE file. The file is 427,008 bytes in size.

Installation

When launched, the backdoor copies its executable file to the Windows system directory:

%System%\win2k2.exe

In order to ensure that the Trojan is launched automatically when the system is rebooted, the Trojan registers its executable file in the system registry:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"load" = "%System%\win2k2.exe" Payload
