Conficker – The Wait Begins
Written on January 12, 2009 by Jerson
The much known Conficker worm has been in the sights of the many web security experts since it was discovered a few years back. It has evolved and changed the way it works and is assured to be once again in the hot-list this coming April Fools which is the hard-coded zero day for the said malware. What it’s going to do, nobody knows for there has been no solid proof of the intent of the makers of the famed worm. Many people on the internet have been trying to reverse engineer the program but that’s as far as they get, the location and name of it’s master not included in the code. This is a unique instance of a smart hacker creating a smart malware program that has the ability to search for all known weaknesses in the many security measures, finding one it send info to it’s maker who in turn sends new updates to make it evolve into a new and more virulent version of itself.
