document.write('<br /><p>Ned Scott apparently was a Hollywood still photographer in the mid part of the 20th century. TheNedScottArchive.com is an effort by his son, Norm Scott, to memorialize the black and white artistry of his dad. Unfortunately, however. thenedscottarchive.com is also a compromised website, which presumably unbeknownst to its owner is acting as a man-in-the-browser attack vehicle in a Bank of America phishing scam.</p>  <p><!--rss--> The phishing scam arrives via an email carrying an attachment named \"Account Verification File .html\" (extraneous space is part of the filename). The subject line of the email is \"Irregular Card Activity\" and the body of the email message reads in part:</p>   <blockquote><p>We detected irregular activity on your BankOfAmerica Card on 08/25/2010. <br />  For your protection, you must verify this activity before you can continue using your card.<br />  Please download the file attached to this email and fill out the information to review your account.<br />  We will review the activity on your account with you and upon verification, we will remove any restrictions placed on your account.</p></blockquote>   <p>Your first reaction might be to scan the attachment with your antivirus software. But as seen in <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=5e57c4a61493e23209c17c62fb651884bbb34e408fb92e898867bab5a4c7b16a-1282920376\">this VirusTotal report</a>, none of the 42 scanners tested see anything remiss with the file attachment.</p>  <p>Antivirus software is reactive protection, so it\'s no surprise that all 42 of the scanners tested failed to detect this threat. Would there be better luck with one of the online analysis tools that don\'t rely on signatures? Unfortunately not - both <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jsunpack.jeek.org/dec/go?report=2f3b26cc4e9729523b781d18b091cb54e868289b\">JSunpack</a> and <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://wepawet.iseclab.org/view.php?hash=43e84086ad5976ff558fe1c949f3f5f1&#38;type=js\">Wepawet</a> also saw the file as benign.</p>  <p>On the plus side, Wepawet did unpack the source code enabling a close manual inspection of the contents. The manual inspection revealed the submitted data was being processed not by Bank of America, but rather by http://thenedscottarchive.com/includes/js/verificare.php. Sadly, submitting that obviously malicious file to <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://wepawet.iseclab.org/view.php?hash=f8bf168e1d2d682add77088b9246a2b9&#38;t=1282921121&#38;type=js\">Wepawet</a> also resulted in a \"benign\" declaration. Perhaps worse, a URL check of http://thenedscottarchive.com/includes/js/verificare.php reveals that <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.virustotal.com/url-scan/report.html?id=f8bf168e1d2d682add77088b9246a2b9-1282914860\">7 out of 7 anti-phishing tools proclaim it a \"Clean site\"</a>.</p>  <p>So what\'s the lesson here?</p>  <p>Compromised websites are a clever and very effective way for attackers to hide their malcode. A vote of \"Clean site\" is all but meaningless in today\'s hostile Web environment. Reputation scanners don\'t base their decision on the code contained on the site, nor on the present condition of the site, but rather on what\'s known about the website from the past.</p>  <p>Secondly, when it does come to analyzing malcode via an automated analysis tool, take any report of \"benign\" with a grain of salt. Instead, read through the code line by line so you can make the proper determination yourself.</p>  <p>And third, just because 42 antivirus scanners don\'t detect malware in a file, it doesn\'t mean the file is safe.</p>  <p>For those not skilled in reading source code, just know that your bank will not send you an unsolicited email attachment. If you do receive a notice from your bank via email, do not open any attachments or click any links in that email. Instead, visit your bank in person, or call them on the phone using the number on the back of your bank card, or log in to your online account by typing the URL into the browser directly and check for any valid bank messages that appear in your account screens.</p><p style=\"background:#f5f3ef;border:1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;\"><a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://antivirus.about.com/b/2010/08/27/that-phish-smells-good.htm\">That Phish Smells Good...</a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://antivirus.about.com/\">About.com Antivirus Software</a> on Friday, August 27th, 2010 at 12:03:56.</p><p><a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://antivirus.about.com/b/2010/08/27/that-phish-smells-good.htm\">Permalink</a> | <a href=\"http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://antivirus.about.com/b/2010/08/27/that-phish-smells-good.htm#gB3\">Comment</a> | <a href=\"http://antivirus.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://antivirus.about.com/b/2010/08/27/that-phish-smells-good.htm&#038;zItl=That Phish Smells Good...\">Email this</a></p>');

Upon infection, the backdoor establishes a connection to the command and control server, using a hard-coded host name and port.</p>  <p>According to Jeff Edwards of Arbor Networks, once the bot has received the command to attack, \"the bot immediately attempts to set up two TCP connections to the victim IP address on a port that appears to be random (e.g., 21701).  As soon as these initial two SYN packets are sent off to the victim, the bot begins flooding the victim with UDP packets to the same port number.\"</p>  <p>Successful attacks overwhelm the victim system with traffic, causing it to be unable to process or respond to legitimate traffic.
