DrummerBoy
Overview
DrummerBoy's is an UPX compressed
executable with unknown purpose.
DrummerBoy is also known as Downloader-EV and Mendware. It
is trying to hide from the user inside %AppData% using random filenames and registry keys making it look much like the
Peper trojan. DrummerBoy is extremely hard to detect,
Bazooka will try, but will most likely fail.
Note: %AppData% is a variable (?). By default, this is 'C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\%UserName%\Application Data\' or 'C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\' (Windows 95/98/Me) or 'C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\' (Windows NT/2000/XP).
Note: %UserName% is a variable (?). This is set to your username.
A sign of DrummerBoy running on your system is
a four character long executable trying to connect to 66.150.193.111 - owned by
Clickspring, LLC, a well known ad serving company.
DrummerBoy seems to report back to its controlling servers when it is
installed on the user's system and when DrummerBoy crash. The following URL
found in DrummerBoy's code:
http://66.150.193.111/install/notify.php
It is unknown how DrummerBoy reaches the end user's systems.
