Description: 

Using a random port, this backdoor connects to the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server, 6004.ugly.as. It then joins a certain channel where it listens and waits for the following commands from a remote malicious attacker:

  • Download and execute files
  • Upload files
  • Send stolen system information

It also drops a DLL component named systhin.dll. This backdoor injects the DLL component to running applications to stay memory-resident.
