Characteristics

FDoS-Tatol will use ARP spoofing on the local LAN. It will sniff for HTTP replies and inject a JS script into the body of the HTML page. The script embeds an IFrame which points to a remote site hosting malicious scripts.

The following site was found to host these malicious scripts:

  • http://user1.33-[removed].net
  • http://user3.1a2b[removed].net

The following obfuscated exploits scripts had been detected at the point of investigation:

Other malware may be downloaded by these exploits.


 

Symptoms

  • Presence of unexpected network connections to previously mentioned URLs.

Method of Infection

This is a trojan detection. Unlike viruses, trojans do not self-replicate. They are spread manually, often under the premise that they are beneficial or wanted. The most common installation methods involve system or security exploitation, and unsuspecting users manually executing unknown programs. Distribution channels include email, malicious or hacked web pages, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), peer-to-peer networks, etc.

The tool can also propagate exploits by using ARP spoofing to inject scripts into HTML pages.

Removal

AVERT recommends to always use latest DATs and engine. This threat will be cleaned if you have this combination.

Additional Windows ME/XP removal considerations
