Technical Details

This is a polymorpic worm is written in Batch script with the extensions Windows 2000/XP (cmd.exe). The worm contains two parts: polymorphic generator and main body. The polymorphic generator reconstruces the main body on each start of batch file. The worm creates its droppers with the files: SPTH.BAT and C:\MIRC\SATURN.BAT. It also creates the script file C:\MIRC\SCRIPT.INI. The script sends worm dropper (SATURN.BAT) to each user who joins the infected channel. The worm also rewrites batch files into WINDOWS directory.
