Abstract

“ McAfee Labs has uncovered a distributed denial of service (DDoS) botnet, dubbed Nitol, operating in China.

The Nitol trojan that is installed on computers is written in Visual C++ with a lot of bugs in the code, apparently written by an untrained programmer, McAfee researcher Itai Liba explained in a blog. The samples examined by Liba and other McAfee researchers were not packed and easy to reverse engineer. The botnet itself is relatively small and not widely known.
