Israeli industrial espionage Trojan horse sample + snort sigs
Well, it's been few days since this story broke and amazingly only a few
AV companies detect it.
I am distributing it to the rest of the vendors with the help of a
friend, so at least that's covered, however, due to the nature of this
incident and the high interest I believe many others in the security
industry may want it and I am too busy to answer everyone pinging me.
Please email me privately and I'll share it securely with those of you
who have a reason to have it.
I hope to get more versions of the sample soon here in IL, as any
variant I get is the same one from the same incident.
Matt Jonkman over at Bleeding-Snort wrote and released snort signatures,
in cooperation with Joe Stewart at lurhq and myself at IL-CERT.
I am sure many organizations would be interested in those.
