    Estdomains Is Behind The Trojan!

    So I am here to bust out the people behind this... From a post on adx by DanS where he pointed out that surfers were being redirected to a codec download on assisass.com I found the domain that the codec was being downloaded from...

    The domain also has other exploits so I am not going to post the url but I will post the IP...

    216.255.179.125

    Some investigation of this ip revealed that it resolves to an ISP called InterCage...

    From an earlier post you will find that the people that discovered the trojan at the University of Minnesota discovered that the varient that they wrre analyzing was being hosted by InHosters and they determined that InHosters was being run by a crime ring from the Ukraine.

    http://lists.sans.org/pipermail/unis...er/026937.html

    After digging a little deeper into Intercage I discovered that they have been blacklisted and accused of many crimes... including hijacking proxies and whole netblocks...

    http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?p=752

    I did a whois on the domain serving the trojan and discovered that it was registered via ESTDOMAINS... there have been many posts on adx about the onslought of cheaters that have appeared over the last few months that were registered via ESTDOMAINS... the odd thing about most of these cheaters is that the traffic doesn't necessarily look like cheater traffic... it doesn't always have alot of proxy and it generates clicks... I think it's already been posted that this trojan generates fake traffic.

    And then I hit the motherload...

    InHosters, Estdomains and Intercage are all the same company...
    http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?p=763

    The other block listed by SANS, ?Inhoster?, appears to be the same company as Esthost - as are Critical Internet, Estdomains and Web-Namez. This netblock used also to be Atrivo?s; it?s not clear to me whether that block is operated by Esthost themselves or by Atrivo for Esthost.

              why can't you give a url to the codec download? I have my own reservations about estdomains, but an accusation needs the solid proof, or else you're leaving yourself open for banning....

              For coding work - hit me up on andy // borkedcoder // com
              (consider figuring out the email as test #1)

                  that won't take you directly to the download but will show you what the url is.

                        just be careful nation-x - great investigative posting, but the motherload post, even following the links is still circumstantial....

                          I agree it's circumstantial... but where I live... in reality... if it smells like shit and looks like shit it's usually shit. And I don't really even give a fuck if someone wants to ban me for busting this shit out... gfy does not make my business... nor most of the motherfuckers that post here... if there is someone that has a problem with this post then they can eat a sick dick. This is serious shit.

                          Let's consider the enormity of this for a moment... not only is this rampant ripping off of affiliates (and more then likely programs as well)... it's a HUGE security problem... Those professors estimated that lots and lots of people were infected... it could even be millions since there are no antivirus programs that currently detect the trojan... and judging by the amount of traffic that this one install location gets I would be willing to estimate that it's POSSIBLE that more then a million machines may be infected.

                          Dude... that is a National Security Risk!

                              and really... ultimately... your posts tell me that you didn't read the mailing list post from Brian Eckman... he plainly says that the thing is controlled by InHost... Inhost = Estdomains...

                                Don't get me wrong - it IS serious shit, and a lot of major players couldn't give a toss. There are some out there that are actively trying to combat this problem.

                                I infected a puter with the trojan, and tested it out, and in my tests the first click had a refcode changed, which stuck. If the link had no refocde in it, it appeared unchanged, but when it got the the processor, a new refcode got added.

                                The refcode appeared to change randomly though, which was weird.

                                HOWEVER - there is a current easy workaround for this trojan, and with a bit more implementation, will protect for a few more revisions. I'm not posting what the solution is on a public board, but it is a payside server-side implementation that will protect all affiliates. Funny though how some big guys don't seem to care about it

                                  You're very wrong - I just don't see that the evidence linking Inhosters to Estdomains is very strong....

                                  The other block listed by SANS, ?Inhoster?, appears to be the same company as Esthost - as are Critical Internet, Estdomains and Web-Namez. This netblock used also to be Atrivo?s; it?s not clear to me whether that block is operated by Esthost themselves or by Atrivo for Esthost.
                                  That's a big IF....

                                        Then why are they able to accept Epassporte and Paypal? E-gold , Moneybrokers are a few of the others. Hit them where the money is, turn it off.

                                        I think if this is true and enuff of us bitch we can at least get epass and paypal to pull the plug on them.

                                            Don't have time to read it all (read only your initial post), but because they are registered through estdomains, estdomains is behind it? Is that what you're saying?

                                              PLEASE SEE THREAD:ANTI SPYWARE COALITION!!!!!!!

                                              Why can't we form a group, say the " anti spyware coalition ". Why can't affiliates donate $50 a month to this and sponsors donate $500 a month.

                                              If just 100 affiliates anti up and just 10 sponsors that is $10,000 a month. apoint a board, hire a couple full time well qualified anti spyware people to start working on this. 10K a month should hire a couple really qualified people.

                                              the more people who join the group the lower we can reduce the fees. $50 x 100 is the same as 1000 x $5 so fees could be lowered as more people join and/or more people could be hired to work on it.

                                              If you make even $1,000 a month what is $50 to help fight this. Sponsors, if you make millions a month what is $500 ?

                                                Apparently, some of the AV companies are already onto it, which is the best we could hope for, but better in preventing future trojans would rest firmly with the sponsors. They need simply to STOP relying on refcodes and start implementing something more robust.

                                                It's not rocket science.... yet it requires a bit of backend work, which most don't want to do, until that is enough affiliates start talking up....

                                                        After digging a little deeper into Intercage I discovered that they have been blacklisted and accused of many crimes... including hijacking proxies and whole netblocks...
                                                        Big surprise that intercage is involved with this.. I posted this thread a year ago.. read the last three posts.
