Actually, the free version of the Hacker Defender rootkit mentioned in the article is open source. GPL, I'm not sure about, but it still surprised me. It actually makes a lot of sense, because it allows attackers to customize and recompile the rootkit, probably creating a new binary that malware-detectors are unaware of.

In other news, we learn that script kiddies don't actually write software.

I'd have thought 450 euros (see here, select "Golden Hacker Defender" from combo box) was a bit beyond the price range of your average copy/paste script kiddies, but then I've never met any so I wouldn't know. Either way, it's not clear to me that the site is breaking any laws by selling this software. Any lawyers around?

What's next, Virus Writers Monthly?

How about this?

Hmm it seems to be a new release of something called Hacker Defender. Apparently available here for the curious. Interesting comment in the box about how the commercial version is not released under the GPL :p

You were looking for this website presumably.

One of the trends that we've seen is the fact that spyware/adware/malware is unfortunately becoming more stable and able to interact with each other

But it isn't just that. I work for a large public school (i.e. greater than 25,000 students, teachers, etc.) and the spyware is getting MUCH more insidious.

For example, yesterday I removed a piece of spyware that runs in safe mode. Yes, read that again, in safe mode. The only way to get rid of it successfully was to boot up using a boot cd we have called ERD Toolkit and removing the spyware by hand. You have to clean out system32 pretty throughly and then also remove all the registry keys you just removed in safe mode as they have been added back.

When spyware starts using rootkit techniques like that (I think they are using a modified version of HackDefender) it is almost time to hang up your hat. :-/ From what I've seen, it looks like the rootkit hides a process that reinstalls any spyware that you try and remove. So you have to get rid of the rootkit, then the process and then finally the spyware.
