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."

    Are you sure you are mocking it? Or are you just repeating something that you saw on TV? You seem to have a great recall of the ads, which haven't been on TV for many years, as far as I can remember. You even remembered to properly capitalize the proper noun "Energizer Bunny". In my mind, this sort of parrotry isn't mockery. No...no, I would call a crappy ancient ad campaign that successfully implanted itself into the internal consciousness of a weak-minded Slashdot poster.

    In Chinese, "liuhong" means "You're a dumbass".
