9/21: Sdbot-PK Worm Scans for Vulnerabilties
September 21, 2004

W32/Sdbot-PK is a member of the W32/Sdbot family of internet worms that spread by scanning for and exploiting known vulnerabilities and weakly protected accounts.

The worm connects to a remote IRC server and enables a malicious user to remotely control an infected machine.

W32/Sdbot-PK drops Troj/NtRootK-F as the file msdirectx.sys, which it employs to hide its process.
