Spreading
The following propagation methods are sub-modules to the port scanning engine:
- MS03-026 RPC DCOM Remote Buffer Overflow
- MS03-026 LSASS Remote Buffer Overflow
- MS05-039 Plug and Play Remote Buffer Overflow
- Attempts to hijack common Trojan horses that accept incoming connections via an open port.
- The ability to spread to systems by brute forcing a login. A good example is Telnet or Microsoft's Server Message Block
Generally, it has been observed that every custom modified variant of Agobot features a selection of the above methods as well as some "homebrew" modules, which essentially are released exploits ported to its code.
Names and such can be added via the xml files the produce variable shuffle imports.
