Long time nothing new from TDL.

Sample from 13 August.

edit:

Did somebody tried TDL against Symantec (Norton Internet Security 2010)?

From what I see it is unable to detect active rootkit and totally miss rootkit installation.

Not sure about the newest infected drivers

But I remember back when TDL3 infected the disk controller "atapi.sys" or the others, Norton could detect "atapi.sys" was infected with "Backdoor.Tidserv!inf" or "Backdoor.Tidserv" but told the user that a PC reboot was required, OH BOY. Turned out that Norton was deleteing the driver on the restart and Windows would not startup, instead having a BSOD.

Symantec after some pushing awhile ago privately they spent time going through the definitions and corrected the problem, Now Norton should not be deleting the driver involved but instead state "Manual Removal Required" as Norton can not swap, disinfect or cure the drivers.

As for the newest releases of TDL3 unsure, but one symptom of an active infection is that Intrusion Prevention detects and blocks the web addresses that are attempted to be reached as "HTTP(S).Tidserv Download Request", approx. 4 or 5 detection names are available.

Norton Power Eraser (NPE) can detect the driver,

Hey Guys,

TDL3 has me intrigued! And I've seen some new C&C domains being floated-around...

How do you guys get access to the config file, DLLs, etc., when all of that is in the small, encrypted partition at the end of the disk? I've tried to get the info on several infected systems, both while running and with the system off, and I can't see them or extract them so far...

Gracias.

- D.O.

With help of internal forensic tools or with debugger (you need to read this topic fully to understand how exactly).

Indeed. ComboFix has captured the infection from recent sample, and deleted it, but did not get it all disinfected.

I italicized the changes from the previous TDL3 version and this version.

We have few new different tdl's info. One of it - modified 3.273, with new tdlcmd.dll and heavy modified config, second one looks more promising. Could be something that can be called TDL4 (if it is not a just copy-past) :)

I doubt we are dealing with TDL4 yet. (I think some of you talk about it like it is supposed to be an Armageddon of malware or something). You will know when TDL4 has arrived.

The fact that EP_XOFF stated only seeing 3.273 and new TDLCMD, I think it is a bit early to start calling out TDL4.

I really think the release of TDL4, if it will exist, will be in October/November, not at this point, though.
