-----Original Message----- From: Mohamed Abdel Kader [mailto:mak.pen () gmail com] Sent: 02 January 2006 09:59 To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: MyDoom Hello All, I am currently trying to penetrate a client having the mydoom virus. Any suggestions? Does anyone have any kind of client I can use? My understanding is that Mydoom-infected hosts receive commands by connecting to an IRC channel. I don't think you can connect directly to it. It's always possible (but not that likely) that the author of the virus has controlled your client's PC and uploaded some other Trojan, which might be controllable by connecting directly to it.
