Article at Techspoz about the trojan

nice...

You know, I have a hard enough time convincing my friends that these demos aren't virus-laden without this sort of thing.

o_O
it must be a hoax
i have 3 firewalls running (software and hardware)
and there are no strange outgoing connections happening :P

tmb: i read through that thread earlier, it seems the archive was replaced with a clean one after people found out about the trojan. Although if i had written that as a hoax, i'd put that on the end too ;)

hmm.. i downloaded mine a few weeks ago and i register these outgoing connections... on win2k tho... nothing to see under xp... strange...

fuckings to lamers.

maybe it is a root kit? Those are invisible to everything except hardware firewalls.. (or am I talking bullshit here? This is not my field). Root kits work by patching some Findfile functions and alikes in kernel32.dll and can thus avoid being displayed as a file and stuff.. Probably possible to hide other stuff too in the same way.. Virus killers use kernel32.dll functions too I guess..

what's a root kick?
