Dear Gadi, this malware looks like the famous Kaiten IRC bot. If you want, I can send the source code of it but it is already known by most of AVs and I think the source is public nowadays. This must be just another variant and bytheway it's detected as far as I can see from your quoted informations so it shouldn't be dangerous. Anyway, tnx for keeping us updated! Cheers Marco Gadi Evron <ge@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To 18/02/2006 23.40 bugtraq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc "full-disclosure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <full-disclosure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject new linux malware Today, we received a notification about a new Linux malware ItW (In the Wild). Chas Tomlin (http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~cet/) provided Shadowserver (http://www.shadowserver.org/) and Nicholas Alright who notified the relevant operational communities, with the information on the binaries. He captured them with squil (http://sguil.sourceforge.net/). Chas is working with Shadowserver to identify better ways to trackdown/takedown botnets. *The credit should go to him and Shadowserver*. Shadowserver has been a responsible and essential part of recent Internet security activities. As anti virus vendors have been notified will soon do a write-up on it, I see no reason not to publicize it here.

We hope to know more soon and we will update as we do.
