Ugh FINE what is so import bout Linux? this virus is gonna attck Mac's too what makes you think it's won't on Linux?
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: DarkShot on March 26, 2009, 08:39:26 PM
Linux FTW

(in this case)

And no, it won't affect Macs.

it relies on an exploit in svchost.exe to get on, a buffer overflow.

Not to mention, Macs don't run Windows apps native, so it just wont happen

Post by: EliteGamer83 on March 26, 2009, 08:42:18 PM
*sigh*

So everyone here is gonna get unbutu? do I really need it if I have a firewall and a long pass and disconnect from the internet and unplug my PC??
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: DarkShot on March 26, 2009, 08:44:20 PM
I already have it.

You don't really. If you've been relatively smart about what you do, and have good protection, then you should be fine.

We're taking extra precautions, and being lazy.
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: FreeK on March 26, 2009, 08:46:23 PM
some/most of us here already have a form of linux.

and darkshot, it relies on a emergency windows updater that was started in oct 2008, not svchost.

well your gtx 9800 wont help you out much here.

justins right, just keep an eye on your AV and you should be (for the most part) safe
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: PspKicks316 on March 26, 2009, 09:02:07 PM
Dude, CALM DOWN omg you're gonna be fine. Stop freaking out.

Linux can't be attacked because for a virus to do anything, it would need root access. You can only gain root access through terminal, which only the user can do.
Even with root access, virus' can do little harm on a linux box.

Now, regarding this crap. CALM DOWN. You're gonna be fine. Just keep your AV and Firewall up and you should be fine. You don't need linux. Most people here already have it, and are just going to use that until this dies down. I for one am going to boot into Ubuntu because I've been too lazy until now to use it, and I've got to fix some things up anyway.

If you're that worried about it, back everything up regularly and keep those backups safe in case you're infected and your whole life's progress gets decimated in the virus' wake.
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: FreeK on March 26, 2009, 09:16:04 PM
im still wonderingg why my ubuntu wont boot. it goes to the boot menu, i choose ubuntu. it flashes something quick. then goes back to the boot menu....it runs with xp but i cant get it to boot into ubuntu...any ideas?

and kicks, thanks for describing how ubuntu is safer, cuz i had no idea how to word it.

ok just to make you guys feel better - i have spoken to the server company and im assured they keep 7 days of backup and they also say that there servers wont be affected directly by the worm unless a DDOS attack is used
Title: Re: conflicker worm

What you're talking about is the fix. I did make a mistake though. I meant the worm needed a specific service exploit to get on the computer and spread.

From Wkikpedia:

"The Conficker worm spreads itself primarily through a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Server Service on Windows computers. The worm uses a specially crafted RPC request to execute code on the target computer."

So that was what was wrong with my computer before I done a system restore... Conficker! Never even heard of it, I don't know why, Most worms I have heard of because there aren't many of them.

God I hate Worm coders.

what is the problem with this conficker virus?

i read about it etc.. i just don't get the whole problem xD what does it do ?
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: bustinthejustin on March 27, 2009, 04:25:08 PM
If you're infected, on april 1st it will supposedly contact the main computer and do something.. Could be an update to the virus that causes further damage, all computers could be used for DOS attacks, etc. Thing is, nobody is sure.
Title: Re: conflicker worm
Post by: DarkShot on March 27, 2009, 04:28:56 PM
Indeed.

And it is a nasty little bugger.

I think me frand has it on his PC, so I got him to do a scan.

I am curious about what it will do, but I will be smart and instead, just read about what happens on the first.

Dearest One
 
 From Blessing Awa
 
Thanks for your mail, I got your mail in a wonderful day
and a happy day which I will like you to be seriose with
me ,It gives me the greatest joy to read from you.
 
Sometimes, life certainly can feel that way and what
better shelter from the storms and trials of daily life
than friendship and to know that there is someone out
there you can fall back on.
 
I'm 21years old and a high school leaving certificate
holder and the only daugther of my late parents Mr.and
Mrs.Awa Firstly, my father was a highly reputable
bussiness
magnate-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of
Ivory coast during his days It is sad to say that he
passed away mysteriously in France during one of his
business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2008.Though his
sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been
masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at
that time.But God knows the truth!
 
My mother died when I was just 11 years old,and since then
my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary
12 2008 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the
hospital and told her that he had a sum of $4.5 million US
DOLLARS (four million five hundred thousand USD)deposited
in Bank here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
 
 
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund with the
Bank as his only daughter, as well as the next of kin to
the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of
this wealth that he was poisoned by his business
assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a
country of my choice where I will transfer this money to
and use it for investment purposes.
 
I want you to assist me in transfering this fund into your
account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund,and also use
it for an investment purpose.
 
Really I don't know what to do. Now I want you help me so
I can transfer this funds.
 
This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a
result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life,
Presently I'm in Abidjan.
 
Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble
assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will
be highly regarded.
 
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
 
1. Can you honestly help me?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be
good for you after the money is retrived?
 
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible.
 
Thank you so much.
Yours,
 
Miss Blessing.

Second, not necessarily. Some virus' can be embedded in emails, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, thats true, although if you use a web based email like gmail or hotmail instead of using outlook or thunder, it pretty much cuts down the risk to 0.01%

(Like, the only way to get infected via gmail would be to open an infected attachment or open a link)

I will Laugh at the panic on the news or will laugh at the Biggest Epic Fail.



When Nothing Happens I want to See A lot of images of Conficker.Worm.A/.B/.C/.D/...ect Face Palms! Or The sites DOS attacked. It should be quite a funny thread.

So I decided to run that Live scanner.
So far it's detected something...it better not be this thing.

Just a thought, but in vista, what if you converted your account to a regular user (as opposed to admin) and enabled UAC? Wouldn't it not be able to run?

Wow. I re-read that and I'm so wrong. XD Nice thought, though.

just read most of this

http://blogs.computerworld.com/conficker_c_activation_passes_quietly (http://blogs.computerworld.com/conficker_c_activation_passes_quietly)

and it seems like its going to be a slower process that takes a bit of time to finish, so stuff mightve happened just very few of us have been hit if any.

seemed like we were more ready for it this time

Windows Vista is technically vulnerable in this way, but the exploit is almost impossible to execute on it. Conficker is basically an XP problem.
Sweet.

i think booting up linux was almost too much precaution...ive been running computers with either xp home (moms lappy) or xp pro (school) with absolutly no problems. and just as an fyi, ive been doing my normal downloads, torrents, limewire, virus scanners, etc.

and stealth, if you read the second one i posted, its not fake/joke. its real, its just working a lot slower then we thought it would be and isnt exposing itself like many of you expected it to

nope no orange screen

and yeah, i agree with justin, that if all AV copanies were making a big deal out of it, along with the news, etc. it has to be something.

here:

http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.aspx (http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.aspx)

its the mcafee threat center site, look on there for the past versions of conficker, its proof that its real. and then you can search for the new one conficker.c
