Taking Apart the Energizer Trojan 55
iago-vL writes "Researchers at SkullSecurity have written a tutorial on how they reverse engineered the Energizer Trojan and generated an Nmap probe to remotely detect infections. The Energizer Trojan is a great educational tool because its inner workings are very simplistic, and it makes minimal efforts to hide itself or conceal its purpose; it even lists what appears to be the author's name — 'liuhong' — in the source! The article provides an introduction to malware analysis, from infecting a test machine to debugging and disassembling the Trojan to writing the actual probe."

The summary makes it sound like there is a shortage of malware for students to study... Maybe it is because of all the linux boxes in the academic labs??

Jeeze, you're mean! The Energizer Bunny is not the product of a "crappy ancient ad campaign"... the creature's a freaking icon! And although I can't remember the exact ad where the rabbit escapes its own ad to invade others, there have been plenty of others featuring the creature. I saw one just the other day. And it seems to me that Energizer Bunny ads have been run since forever! Well, I can't remember a time BEB (Before Energizer Bunny) so that means the thing's been around for at least 20 years! I haven't checked the fount of all human knowledge [wikipedia.org] yet, but I'm sure it will confirm my beliefs.
Go anywhere in the world, find someone who watches commercial TV with any sort of regularity and show him a picture of the Bunny - I'll bet you 1000-1 he'll know who it is. That creature isn't just an icon - it's up there with Mickey Mouse, Jesus Christ and Coca Cola. Get down on your knees and beg the Bunny-God for forgiveness!
