远程管理特洛伊木马（RAT）病毒中英文版演说

RATs

The world of malicious software is often pided into two types: viral and nonviral. Virus are little bits of code that are buried in other codes. When the “host” codes are executed, the virus replicate themlves and may attempt to do something destructive. In this, they behave much like biological virus.

Worms are a kind of computer parasite considered to be part of the viral camp becau they replicate and spread from computer to computer.

As with virus, a worm’s malicious act is often the very act of replication; they can overwhelm computer infrastructures by generating massive numbers of e-mails or requests for connections that rvers can’t handle.

Worms differ from virus, though, in that they aren’t just bits of code that exist in other files. They could be whole files——an entire Excel spreadsheet, for example. They replicate without the need for another program to be run.

Remote ***istration types are an example of another kind of nonviral malicious software, the Trojan hor, or more simply Trojan. The purpo of the programs isn’t replication, but to penetrate and control. That masquerade as one thing when in fact they are something el, usually something destructive.

There are a number of kinds of Trojans, including spybots, which report on the Web sites a computer ur visits, and keybots or keyloggers, which record and report the ur''s keystrokes in order to discover passwords and other confidential information.

RATs attempt to give a remote intruder ***istrative control of an infected computer. They work as client/rver pairs. The rver resides on the infected machine, while the client resides elwhere, across the network, where it''s available to a remote intruder.

Using standard TCP/IP or UDP protocols, the client nds instructions to the rver. The rver does what it’s told to do on the infected computer.

Trojans, including RATs, are usually downloaded inadvertently by even the most savvy urs. Visiting the wrong Web site or clicking on the wrong hyperlink invites the unwanted Trojan in. RATs install themlves by exploiting weakness in standard programs and browrs.

Once they reside on a computer, RATs are hard to detect and remove. For Windows urs, simply pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete won’t expo RATs, becau they operate in the background and don''t appear in the task list.

Some especially nefarious RATs have been designed to install themlves in such a way that they’re very difficult to remove even after they’re discovered.

For example, a variant of the Back Orifice RAT called G_Door installs its rver as Kernel32.exe in the Windows system directory, where it’s active and locked and controls the registry keys.

The active Kernel32.exe can’t be removed, and a reboot won''t clear the registry keys. Every time an infected computer starts, Kernel32.exe will be restarted, and the program will be active and locked.

Some RAT rvers listen on known or standard ports. Others listen on random ports, telling their clients which port and which IP address to connect to by e-mail.

Even computers that connect to the Internet through Internet rvice providers, which are often thought to offer better curity than static broadband connections, can be susceptible to control from such RAT rvers.

The ability of RAT rvers to initiate connections can also allow some of them to evade firewalls. An outgoing connection is usually permitted. Once a rver contacts a client, the client and rver can communicate, and the rver begins following the instructions of the client.

Legitimate tools are ud by systems ***istrators to manage networks for a variety of reasons, such as logging employee usage and downloading program upgrades——functions that are remarkably similar to tho of some remote ***istration Trojans. The distinction between the two can be quite narrow. A remote ***istration tool ud by an intruder becomes a RAT.

In April 2001, an unemployed British systems ***istrator named Gary McKinnon ud a legitimate remote ***istration tool known as RemotelyAnywhere to gain control of computers on a U.S. Navy network.

By hacking a few unguarded passwords on the target computers and using illegal copies of Remotely Anywhere, McKinnon was able to break into the Navy’s network and u the remote ***istration tool to steal information and files and logs. The fact that McKinnon launched the attack from his girlfriend’s e-mail account left him vulnerable to detection.

Some of the famous RATs are variants of Back Orifice; they include Netbus, SubSeven, Bionet and Hack''a''tack. The RATs tend to be families more than single programs. They are morphed by hackers into a vast array of Trojans with similar capabilities.

远程管理特洛伊木马（RAT）病毒

恶意软件的世界常常分成两类：病毒性和非病毒性。病毒是埋藏在其他程序中的很短的程序代码。当“主”程序执行时，病毒就复制自身，并企***做些有破坏性的事。在此过程中，它们的行为很像生物病毒。

蠕虫是一类计算机寄生虫，可以把它们归到病毒阵营，因为它们进行复制，从一台计算机散布到另一台计算机。

作为病毒，蠕虫的有害行为常常只是复制这个行为。它们通过生成大量的电子邮件或申请连接的请求，使服务器没法处理而导致计算机崩溃。

但蠕虫也有别于病毒，它们不是存在于其他文件中的代码。它们可以是整个文件，如Excel数据表格。它们不需要运行另一个程序就进行复制。

远程管理（病毒）是另一类非病毒性恶意软件——特洛伊木马（或更简单地称作木马）的例子。这些程序的目的不是复制，而是渗透进去加以控制。它们伪装成某种东西，但实际上是另一件东西，通常具有破坏性。

有多种类型的木马病毒，其中包括间谍机器人（它在网站上报告计算机用户来访）和击键机器人（它记录和报告用户的击键，目的是为了发现口令和其他的保密信息）。

RAT病毒企***让远程入侵者对受感染的计算机进行管理控制。它们以客户机/服务器那样的方式进行工作。服务器驻留在受感染的机器中，而客户机位于网络上能实施远程入侵的`其他地方。

利用标准的TCP/IP或UDP协议，该客户机给服务器发送指令。服务器在受感染的计算机上做被告知的事情。

木马病毒，含RAT病毒，通常由用户、甚至最聪明的用户不经意地***下来。访问恶意的网站或者点击恶意的链接都可能招致不想要的特洛伊病毒进入（计算机）。RAT病毒利用普通程序和浏览器中的弱点自行安装。

一旦它们驻留在计算机中，RAT病毒是很难发现和去除的。对于Windows用户，简单地击打Ctrl＋Alt＋Delete键并不能暴露RAT病毒，因为它们在后台工作，不会出现在任务列表中。

有些非常穷凶极恶的RAT病毒设计成以一种即使在被发现后也非常难去除的方式安装。

例如，Back Orifice RAT病毒的一个变种，叫G_Door，安装其服务器作为Windows系统目录中的Kernel32.exe，存活并锁定在那里并控制注册键。

活动的Kernel32.exe是不能去除的，重新启动也不能清除注册键。每次受感染的计算机开机，Kernel32.exe被再次启动，并被激活和锁定。

有些RAT病毒对已知的或标准的端口进行侦听。其他的则对随机的端口进行侦听，通告它的客户机，电子邮件连接到了哪些端口和哪些IP地址。

通过ISP（因特网服务提供商）连接到因特网上的计算机，虽然常常被认为比静态的宽带连接更安全，也可能被这样的RAT病毒所控制。

RAT病毒服务器这种激活连接的能力，也能让它们中的一些可以入侵防火墙。通常向外的连接是允许的，一旦服务器与客户机建立联系，客户机和服务器就能进行通信，服务器就开始遵循客户机的指令工作。

出于各种原因，系统管理员使用合法工具管理网络，如记录雇员的使用和***程序更新（与某些远程管理木马病毒的功能非常相像）。这两者间的差别可能是非常小的，远程管理工具被入侵者使用就成了RAT病毒。

2001年4月，一名叫Gary McKin-non的失业的英国系统管理员利用合法的远程管理工具——Remotely Anywhere成功地控制了美国海***网络上的多台计算机。

McKinnon通过入侵手段获得目标计算机上未防护的口令和使用非法拷贝的Remotely Anywhere软件，突破了美国海***的网络，利用该远程管理工具偷窃信息、删除文件和记录。McKinnon从他女朋友的电子邮件账号发起攻击，这个账号给侦查留下了线索。

一些有名的RAT病毒是Back Orifice的变种，如Netbus、SubSeven、 Bionet 和Hack''a''tack。这些RAT病毒大多是一组程序，而不是单独的一个程序。入侵把它们变成一个庞大的、具有类似功能的木马病毒阵列。
