Came in this morning to find a windows 2003 server I manage scanning the Internet for machines listening on tcp 139 and 445. While looking at the machine I noticed the following processes running. Mwvsta.exe found in c:\windows\system32 rundll16.exe c:\windows\system23 Ponoas.exe c:\windows\system32 I believe that the ponoas.exe is some sort of rootkit although searching on google for this file name returns nothing. Also searching mwvsta.exereturns nothing. At this point I have removed these files from the system and registry but am weary that the server will get hit again.
To be sure, you need to re-install from known-good media.
Has anyone had an experience with the following file or have any idea what rookkit of virus they are associated with?
Some viruses use random filenames. If you've deleted them then there's no way to tell for sure what they were - if you do have them, send the files to http://www.virustotal.com/ for a diagnosis - though I would still re-install the box. cheers, Jamie -- Jamie Riden / jamesr () europe com / jamie.riden () computer org NZ Honeynet project - http://www.nz-honeynet.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Black HatAttend the Black Hat Briefings & Training USA, July 29.
