Must hunt down SOB trojan poster

[IdahoB]

Damn I'm angry.

I downloaded a file today from bittorrent, and despite the usual virus checks it turned out to contain a trojan that put a file called svhost.exe in sys32 and then connected to an irc server. I duly noted the IP and connected to the server, to find it's personally owned by some french guy - not only that but the pleb uses the same name as the poster of the file and has multiple links to a very personal website.

It's pretty clear the posting was no accident. I feel I should do something but I am no ubergeek and am lacking in inspiration at this late hour.

Any thoughts (aside from "that'll teach you to use bittorrent, you scourge of the digital sea, you)?

There are things you could do. However, there's nothing good that wouldn't get us banned for posting it.

are you talking about svchost.exe ?

But on another note, how do you know what he was downloading ?

isekii - no - the file was svhost.exe. I'm fairly sure that svchost isn't supposed to set up connections to random irc servers.

That does suck, and to hell with all these haters. If I knew how to do any of that, I'd be happy to tell you, but I know nothing of hacking.

I have friends for that stuff...

probably svchosts.exe

agobot worm/trojan.

Wanna get back? Just call about 1000 bots to DOS every IP in his domain on port 80.

I'm feeling hard done by here - surely the vast reams of hatin' should go to the french muthafka who put the damn thing online.
