Threat: Backdoor.Win32.NetTerrorist
Vulnerability: Unauthorized Remote Command Execution
Description: NetTerrorist listens on TCP port 785, it seemingly uses authentication like USER [user], PASS [pass]. Interestingly, you can just bypass authentication and run commands while ignoring any error messages. If you wish to logon the main account is "root" with password "root" which is easily guessed. Whether logged on correctly or not, when issuing commands you get errors like "JAJAAJJ 500 'EXEC' command not understood". Just ignore these messages as we can execute all types of commands on the infected system.

On our DNS server we see:

msdtc.exe. -> 192.168.1.10

SearchUI.exe. -> 192.168.1.10

tasklist.exe. -> 192.168.1.10

Issue taskkill to terminate the backdoor if you got the PID:

PhuCk y0u
exec cmd /c taskkill /f /pid 392
JAJAAJJ
500 'EXEC' command not understood.

Connection to host lost.
