It is a malicious program that provides an attacker with remote access to an infected machine. It is a Windows application (PE-EXE file). Its size is 221,184 bytes. It is written in C++.

MD5: C6FDE47C44105236CB6B5B8D7E7EA0B0

SHA1: 3DF44D093F480B6EC721D57CAAB311DCE7AAC9E9

Installation

Once launched, the backdoor scans the keys in the following branches of the system registry:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

In this case, the backdoor attempts to overwrite the contents of files being searched with contents of its original file. At the same time to counteract the anti-virus signature scanners, 4 bytes are modified in the created copy:
