When Backdoor.Domwis is executed, it performs the following actions:
Opens TCP port 559, which allows unauthorized remote access to an infected computer.
Copies itself as %Windir%\RUNDLL16.EXE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: %Windir% is a variable. The Trojan locates the Windows installation folder (by default, this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and copies itself to that location.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attempts to add the value:
"Windows DLL Loader" = "%Windir%\RUNDLL16.EXE"
to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
so that the Trojan runs when you start Windows.
Some of the functions available to the attacker include:
Uploading and downloading files
Executing programs
Ending processes
Sending full screen images to the attacker
Key logging
maybe this has some potention to be a new virus-like exploit?
