The virus copies itself as HIDN.EXE to the following directory:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\hidn\hidn.exe

It also creates a rootkit to hide directories (and all files within them) which contain the word shared:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\hidn\m_hook.sys ( 15360 bytes )

It also creates a copy of its ZIP file locally, and a fake error message:

  • C:\temp.zip
  • C:\error.gif

The error message appears as follows

A registry key is created to run itself again upon system startup:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Run "drv_st_key" = C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\hidn\hidn.exe

Additionally, the following Registry keys are added:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\firstruxzx\firstrun="1"

It deletes the following registry entry, to disable Safe Boot:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Safeboot

  • Method of Infection

    Mail Propagation

    This virus constructs messages using its own SMTP engine. Target email addresses are harvested from files with the following extensions on the victim machine:

    • .wab
    • .txt
    • .msg
    • .htm
    • .shtm
    • .stm
    • .xml
    • .dbx
    • .mbx
    • .mdx
    • .eml
    • .nch
    • .mmf
    • .ods
    • .cfg
    • .asp
    • .php
    • .pl
    • .wsh
    • .adb
    • .tbb
    • .sht
    • .xls
    • .oft
    • .uin
    • .cgi
    • .mht
    • .dhtm

    Overview -

    -- Update June 21, 2006 --
    The risk assessment of this threat has been updated to Low-Profiled due to media attention at:
    http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci1195282,00.html

    This is a mass-mailing virus that spreads in a password protected zip file.  Along with the ZIP file, an image containing the password for the ZIP is also attached to infectious messages.  Users must take that password and use it to open the ZIP file and then manually execute the .EXE file within.  That EXE file is proactively detected as New Malware.b with released DAT files.  The same virus variant exists in packed form.  That package is proactively detected as W32/Bagle.dldr with released DAT files.

    Aliases

    • Email-Worm.Win32.Bagle.fy (Kaspersky)
    • W32.Beagle.FF@mm (Symantec)

    The virus copies itself as HIDN.EXE to the following directory:

    • C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\hidn\hidn.exe

    It also creates a rootkit to hide directories (and all files within them) which contain the word shared:

    • C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\hidn\m_hook.sys ( 15360 bytes )

    It also creates a copy of its ZIP file locally, and a fake error message:

    • C:\temp.zip
    • C:\error.gif

    The error message appears as follows

    A registry key is created to run itself again upon system startup:

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
      \Run "drv_st_key" = C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\hidn\hidn.exe

    Additionally, the following Registry keys are added:

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\firstruxzx\firstrun="1"

    It deletes the following registry entry, to disable Safe Boot:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Safeboot

    • .wab
    • .txt
    • .msg
    • .htm
    • .shtm
    • .stm
    • .xml
    • .dbx
    • .mbx
    • .mdx
    • .eml
    • .nch
    • .mmf
    • .ods
    • .cfg
    • .asp
    • .php
    • .pl
    • .wsh
    • .adb
    • .tbb

    • .xls
    • .oft
