You were correct @Falcon, on my MAIN PC I got this with Spybot!

Munga Bunga - Trojan
================

http://research.sunbelt-software.com/threatdisplay.aspx?name=Munga%20Bunga%20HTT...

AH SH!T!!!

Of course, it's removed now...

QUESTION: Does anyone know if this thing acts as a Keylogger?

From what I understand it's just a bruteforce attack that a remote hacker can use to try random passwords.

But that would bring the quesion...

HOW THE H#LL DID HE GUESS A 12 CARACHTER PASS?

(my old pass was a random mix of letters and numbers)

Well... Sorry to hear that. Undecided

It happends...

The last serious virus I got was Chernobyl CIH back at 1997... Since then only worms that were easily removed by the old and reliable Kaspersky AV. When Kaspersky finally developed a decent anti-pirate software together with the black list, I changed to NOD32 and it pales in comparison. So I changed the operating system to Linux and since then (2002) never got a single virus/worm/troyan/anything.

So, my advice is: get Linux for internet access. There are very good distributions out there including (but not limited to) Ubuntu, Mint, Mandriva, SuSe... You can also make a dual boot - use linux for surfing and windows for games. That's what I do

Hmm...looks like I finally have a REALLY good reason to learn Linux.

Can any of you guys recommend a distro that's easy for a Linux virgin to pick-up and muck around with?

...and here's a qoute from that hacker guy who wrote this EV!L software...

Quote:

What does this (Munga Bunga HTTP Brute Force) software do?

It's a Brute Forcer, which uses the HTTP protocol to establish its connections. In English, this means the program tries various passwords for a given username (called brute forcing) and verifies whether those passwords are correct for the given username within the HTTP protocol (meaning, via web page connections).

You can hack into any form you see on the Internet, this means any web based email account like Hotmail, Yahoo, Excite etc… or even affiliate accounts like AllAdvantage, GoToWorld, LinkExchange, or even actual Web Sites and many more. Basically, any thing that can be entered via a HTML form with a password and username, you would be able to brute force into with my program. The sky is the limit, it can even be used as a DoS (Denial of Service) program but I do not encourage such behavior and shall not be held responsible for your illegal doings.

Well, if he doesn't want to be responsible then don't F##KIN code the d@mn program!

Being a Linux Guru at times, I would reccommend Fedora 8. I grew up learning on this and by the looks of it, they have came a long way since FC3.

http://fedoraproject.org/

To first try out this, click "Get Fedora" on the right side and then get the "Fedora Desktop Live Media". This will allow you to make a bootable CD to try out F8. If you dont like it, remove the CD and boot normally.

Of course if you like it and want to FULLY install it, download from the "Install Media" section.

I would also suggest trying some of the Live versions of the major distros to get a feeling for the interfaces and see if there are any problems as far as hardware detection goes. openSUSE 10.3 has both a Live KDE and a Live GNOME available. Find out more here:

http://www.opensuse.org/

I have been using openSUSE with no problems for over two years. The box also dual boots to WinXP Pro for the rare occasion where something has to been done in Windows.

I can sympathize with your plight. I remember the first (and only) time I got hit with a worm in 2000 on a Win98 SE machine. A former employer also managed to permit thieves to make off with a laptop that had data pertaining to me, even though I no longer worked for the company. There was never any indication that the data was used in some way, and the thieves were never caught. What can you do?

NO!

That's the only linux distro he shoudn't use! There are 2 very good reasons for that: 1st thats the only distro that utilizes NON-FREE software, so in order just to see a movie, he will have to pay some 20 euros for the codec (wtf?). 2nd - that's the Red Hat distro that uses RPM packages meaning that he is going to go through hell in order to install something. 3rd - fedora doesn't support RAISER FS - the fastest and the best linux file system. So WTF? I hate fedora - installed warewulf and killed it after a few day of dissapoinment.

Use Ubuntu or Mint - those are the user-friendliest distros in the world. Also any Debian-based distro would do the trick. Debian has the most packages of all.

All I know is when I went to my linux classes we used fc3 or fc4. I dont know how much has changed, but back then it wasnt as bad as you make it sound. Regardless, with this new information I guess I will recommend other distros from now on.

Well... You know... You're right 8) I am sorry if I sounded a bit too harsh against fc 8.0, but I got really dissapointed by it. There are a lot of better distros out there. You just go on with (k)ubuntu and you will make no mistake.

I hope you get your acconts back; it shoudn't be that hard. Ebay sends you confirmation per post after all - there must be such a way to get the account back.

Oh btw, if everything else fails - go for the same weapon you have at your disposal: your own brute force tool for cracking the http form passwords. If the virus was *that* good to break your pass - it might also be good enough to crack the *crackers* pass too. Fight fire with fire

P.S. If you want, I offer you my bandwidth and CPU at disposal for brute force cracking. If you cannot figure out how to use the virus, I also might be able to help u with that too. Just say the word and let the cracking begin.

P.P.S And please dont mix hacker with Cracker - a hacker would never deliberately destroy any information found on the cracked account/server/computer. He would just put his stamp on the cracked computer boasting that he got in (and in worst case copy the info on computer);
the word that u should use is "Cracker" - that's a donkeys ass of a hacker that cracks and destroys. They are a plague and should be eliminated.
