Taking Apart the Energizer Trojan

iago-vL writes "Researchers at SkullSecurity have written a tutorial on how they reverse engineered the Energizer Trojan and generated an Nmap probe to remotely detect infections. The Energizer Trojan is a great educational tool because its inner workings are very simplistic, and it makes minimal efforts to hide itself or conceal its purpose; it even lists what appears to be the author's name — 'liuhong' — in the source! The article provides an introduction to malware analysis, from infecting a test machine to debugging and disassembling the Trojan to writing the actual probe."

    He accurately recalls something he hasn't seen for years and this makes him weak-minded? Is this because you do not find the information valuable? Is the definition of a strong mind then only one that stores what you believe one should store? Perhaps you could publish a paper describing the sorts of things we should be memorizing to strengthen our minds.

    It must suck to have to start disliking stuff just because some plebs found out about it.

    There've been a few bait-titled posts like this the past week.

    They're softening us up for 4/1.
