Détails du virusP2Pworm.GG

P2Pworm.GG is a worm that spreads by copying itself, without infecting other files.

• In the local network: it generates a large amount of network activity and consumes bandwidth.

It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user:

• It uses techniques included in its code to hide itself while it is active.
• It injects itself in running processes.

P2Pworm.GG uses the following propagation or distribution methods:

• Exploiting vulnerabilities with the intervention of the user: exploiting vulnerabilities in file formats or applications. To exploit them successfully it needs the intervention of the user: opening files, viewing malicious web pages, reading emails, etc.
• Via Internet, exploiting remote vulnerabilities: attacking random IP addresses, in which it tries to insert a copy of itself by exploiting one or more vulnerabilities.
• Computer networks (mapped drives): it creates copies of itself in mapped drives.
• Computer networks (shared resources): it creates copies of itself in shared network resources to which it has access.
• File infection: it infects different types of files, which are then distributed through any of the usual means: floppy disks, email messages with attachments, Internet download, files transferred via FTP, IRC channels, P2P file sharing networks, etc.
