Email-Worm.Win32.Runnelot

Class Email-Worm
Platform Win32
Description

Technical Details

Runnelot is a worm virus spreading via the Internet as an attachment to infected emails. It also infects Win32 EXE files.

The worm itself is a Windows PE EXE file about 9KB in size when compressed by UPX; the decompressed
size is about 20KB. It is written in Assembler.

The worm contains a “copyright” text string:

  Runner "Pilot" 01/2003

Installing

While installing the worm writes its code to the Windows system directory with the “Runner.exe” name
and registers that file in system registry auto-run key:

 HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
   Runner = Runner.exe /auto /rsrc32.dll

Infecting EXE files

The worm looks for PE EXE files and writes itself to the beginning of these files. It looks
for victim EXE files in directories located on local and network hard drives.

To release control to host the program the worm creates on disk a disinfected copy and spawns it. In
case of an error the worm displays fake error messages:

  Error of loading WIN32.DLL file

  Loading incomplete. Correct work is not warranted!
  Continue?

  General error 1452 in KERNEL32.DLL

  Program terminated

Spreading: EMail

To send infected messages the worm uses direct access to the default SMTP server. To get victim
email addresses the worm looks for *.HTM* files, it also writes these email addresses to the
“runner.dll” file in the Windows system directory.

The infected messages have different fields that are randomly constructed from several variants:

From: "%str1%%str2%"

where following strings are randomly selected from:
