Description: 

This worm spreads through network shares. It gathers available lists of user names and passwords in the system and uses these to drop copies of itself in shared folders in the network. It also uses its own list of user names and passwords.

It has backdoor capabilities. It connects to an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server and then joins an IRC channel to act as a server program controlled by an IRC bot. Once connected, this server program receives commands from the IRC bot.

This worm is capable of automatically notifying the bot of systems that have the following Microsoft Windows vulnerabilities:

  • RPC/DCOM vulnerability
