Voyager (computer Worm) - Actions

Actions

The October 31 variant has a harmless payload, but could easily be modified.

The December 29, 2005 version attempts to create private database links in affected databases, but the procedure to spread is missing. If activated, it will grant DBA to PUBLIC. An AFTER LOGON trigger may run which performs a Google search for its own code. The worm code tries to mail the username and password hashes to larry@oracle.com and oracle@. It tricks the listener to reset the password for a well known database user. The clear intention is to increase the chances of successfully creating a private link to the database.

Famous quotes containing the word actions:

    “As soon as we exceed average human goodness by even a single step, our actions arouse suspicion. Virtue stands steadily “in the middle.””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Only the actions of the just
    Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.”
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    “We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
