Hi Dave,
If you have some time why not just make one up on an isolated box (that is, that has no internet connection and no lan network connection - it should be the only computer within its network). This way your ensuring the best results. If undetected virii was what your looking for, thats probibly the most effective way to go :)

Kind regards,

Is your box REALLY secure?

I would be interested as a security person to test these viri against
cybersight, does anyone have some examples of un-detected viri?

Hey Guys,
           We have been alerted to a virus outbreak by one of our sister
networks that appears to be new and undetected by Norton AV and is
mis-detected by McAfee. McAfee detects this virus as backdoor-jz but is
unable to clean the virus. Sorry I don't have a whole lot of details on this
yet but here is a list of the files running on infected systems.

>

> cbnegs.exe
> Winlogon .exe
> sjhdyl.exe
> kbld.exe
> duckduck.exe
> explorer .exe
> ~xxxxx
> oocfwm.exe
> gwigsb.exe
> jkexnj.exe
> lknq.exe
> kjnj.exe

The virus appears to infect Windows hosts regardless of the OS version. It
appears to alter the start menu items of infected hosts and makes them look
garbled. At this time I don't know how this virus is spreading but I will
let you know if I find out, none of the hosts I have access to are currently
infected but it appears to be spreading through our sister network pretty
quickly.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Or recognize the signature maybe?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
