sender's address, a tactic known as spoofing, and may generate e-mail
messages that appear to have been sent by Microsoft. Many of the
addresses Mydoom uses are valid addresses that are being spoofed for
malicious purposes.
Technical information about the virus is available from antivirus
vendors participating in the Microsoft Virus Information Alliance
(VIA). The Mydoom worm is also known by the names Novarg, Shimg, and
Mimail.R.

The Virus Writer And WiFi
06/02/2004 09:37 PMSecurity Focus, which tends to run some great articles, seems to have
gotten the WiFi-fear bug all of a sudden. They've written a column,
officially called
Catching a Virus
Writer, which actually just rehashes the fact that a virus writer
today just needs to go out, connect to an open WiFi router, release a
virus and walk out - and says they will never be caught. This isn't
new. People have been talking about it for ages. However, instead of
just dredging up the same old argument about what happens when anyone
can access WiFi and making people more afraid than they need to be,
wouldn't it have been a bit smarter to then take it a step further?
The fact that there are open WiFi networks is a fact. It's also not
going to change any time soon. The folks who want to remain anonymous
for things like virus writing certainly know this - and will continue
to take advantage of it. Instead of just getting all worked up about
it, how about pointing out the fact that this is why law enforcement
needs to learn better methods for tracking down virus writers - and
shouldn't just rely on trying to track down where it was released. In
fact, at this point, it's unlikely that most attempts to track down
viruses bother to look at the technical details of where it was
released, because it's likely to be a zombie machine somewhere.
Instead, they look for other clues that lead to the culprit - just
like normal detectives. Sure, it's completely true that WiFi is open
and anyone can access them. The same is true of any retail store's
front door. Someone could walk into one of those doors
without
having to give out their name, steal something and
walk out
again. Yet, we know this is true, and people tend not to freak
out about open doors that don't require identification. They realize
they're there for a purpose. Instead, they work on other methods of
tracking down people who steal stuff. So, instead of writing up a
fear-mongering report about virus writers using WiFi (and actually
calling it "how to catch a virus writer"), why not write up a story
about methods that
really can be used to track down virus
writers, such as looking for patterns in the virus that indicate an
author or getting his (or her) friends to squeal - just like with
regular criminals.

01/27/2004 09:13 AMMyDoom Mass-Email Wormhttp://xforce.iss.ne
t/xforce/alerts/id/161ISS X-Force has detected the
aggressive propogation of a new Internet worm that spreads via email.
Known as MyDoom or Novarg, this worm harvests email addresses from
your hard drives and will mail copies of itself to addresses that it
finds. It spoofs the "From" address to confuse victims as to the
source of the virus. MyDoom spreads as an e-mail attachment that is
either in an executable or zip archive format.
Impact:
Aggressive propagation of mass-email worms have been known to cause
localized email outages due to the load placed on email servers.
MyDoom has been spreading very aggressively and is a serious threat to
certain networks. It is also believed that this worm contains a proxy
that may allow the infected computer to relay "spam" email.

itself and has been detected in 142 countries and currently accounts

The worm arrives in an e-mail file attachment. The e-mail body varies
from blank to highly technical jargon...all of which are designed to
fool the recipient into opening the attached (infected) file which has
a common extension such as ZIP, SCR, EXE, or PIF.
