WORM: W32/Slackor Worm Propagation Attempt
This signature detects SMB transmissions of the W32/Slackor worm, which targets file shares. The worm scans the /16 of the infected host for systems listening on TCP/445; if a system is found, the worm uses pre-programmed usernames and passwords to connect to the $IPC share on the system, copies itself to the C:\sp directory, and runs its payload.
Extended Description
Slackor is a worm that infects Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is spread by copying itself to a system with SMB server. It also installs a backdoor Trojan on the target system.
