Hi List,

i thougt this could be interesting. My english is not very good so i
copied the following information from FSecure
(http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002249.html [1])

"Chaos Computer Club from Germany has tonight announced that they
have located a backdoor trojan used by the German Goverment.

The announcment was made public on ccc.de [2] with a detailed 20-page
analysis of the functionality of the malware. Download the report in
PDF [3] (in German)

The malware in question is a Windows backdoor consisting of a DLL and
a kernel driver.

The backdoor includes a keylogger that targets certain applications.
These applications include FIREFOX, SKYPE, MSN MESSENGER, ICQ and
others.

The backdoor also contains code intended to take screenshots and
record audio, including recording Skype calls.

In addition, the backdoor can be remotely updated. Servers that it
connects to include 83.236.140.90 [4] and 207.158.22.134"

According to CCC Germany the backdoor could also be exploited by
third parties. You can download it from
http://www.ccc.de/system/uploads/77/original/0zapftis-release.tgz
[5]  . You'll need gzip and tar to get the .dll and the .sys file.
