Peaches Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Nov 3 2009Elite Loader Goes Publicby Maxim Goncharov (Advanced Threats Researcher) A few days ago, I got access to the source code of the well-known Elite Loader for free. Yes. It was published on one of the Russian underground forums. It even had a detailed description and screenshots showing how to use the application's command and control (C&C) server. Apart from dropping malicious files on infected machines, Elite Loader also allows malicious users to upload additional software to targeted systems to steal passwords or deploy spam or distributed denial of service (DDoS) modules that other cybercriminals can use. The bot's C&C also contains siginificant statistics and makes use of a log-filtering feature to manage module downloads from the bots in different countries. It can also enable or disable target bots based on their location. Details & screenshots at TrendLabs - http://blog.trendmicro.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
