So that doesn’t do us any good if we want to detect all the variants that user that User-Agent.Win.Trojan.Upatre as per multiple websites doesnot do anything whereinit hides or strips the User-agent (Though I am sure it could have the option of doing it)Connections observed in the network is from internal machine to -http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/favicon.ico or http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.20/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.20.vbox-extpackThe only part which is suspicious is the user agent -User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 I have not seen any browser to strip down the user agent in such a way that only the Platform is visible.Normal User agents are -Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0) The whole User Agent that Upatre uses (in this example, there are a bunch of different user agents that Upatre uses), is Mozilla/5.0, which, as you indicate above, is not a *real* “browser-based” user-agent. Long story short, update the ruleset, we just released an update. -- *Joel Esler* Open Source Manager Threat Intelligence Team Lead Talos
