Sdbot-XK

By LoneStar in Worms

Sdbot-XK, also referred to as Win32/Sdbot-XK, is a network worm that provides backdoor access to an infected computer by which unapproved downloads and installations may occur. Sdbot-XK usually spreads by exploiting the weaknesses in LSASS, RPC DCOM, WorkStation service, Microsoft SQL 2000, and Microsoft SQL servers with weak passwords. Once active, Sdbot-XK may then move itself to the Windows system folder under the designation b.exe. Sdbot-XK then alters specific registry values in order to begin operating as soon as Windows starts up, in addition to disabling Windows Internet Connection Firewall, Automatic Updates and Security Center.
