Abstract

Win32.Trojan.IcoScript.A is a classic remote administration tool, but it has a particular way of communicating with its control server. It is very modular and it abuses popular web platforms (such as Yahoo and Gmail) for command and control communication. Paul Rascagneres discusses the unusual techniques used by the trojan.
