I'd also recommend openports.exe from DiamondCS...it's a bit more comprehensive than fport, AND it doesn't require an admin account to run. --- Josh.Berry () compucom com wrote:
I have seen lots of Trojans that are named services.exe. Many of the have been different variations of Serve-U FTP server. I use fport from foundstone to see what ports the executable is listening on and what servers/ports it is connecting to. -----Original Message----- From: Dano [mailto:dan () thejamzone com] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 4:40 PM To: incidents () securityfocus com Subject: Strange services.exe file Hello, I came across a strange services.exe file in WinXP and don't know how it got there. This services.exe landed in the root c:\windows\services.exe with a hidden attrib flag set. There was also a registry key set at HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run with the value "services C:\WINDOWS\services.exe -i". What it appeared to do was send data back to hosts dhcp-ve3-101.cable.amis.net (212.18.53.101) and um-sd04-907.uni-mb.si (164.8.15.109). I'm stil in progress of disecting this to find out what exactly it does. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks Dan
