Self-Executing FOLDERS: Windows XP Explorer Part V

Sunday, January 25, 2004 The following file is a 'folder' comprising both scripting and an executable [*.exe]. We inject scripting and an executable into the 'folder' which is designed to point back to the executable in the 'folder' and execute it. Provided the 'folder' is an html file, Windows XP Explorer will execute it. Because it is an 'folder' proper, Windows Explorer opens it. The scripting inside is then parsed and fired. That scripting is pointing back to the same executable file and because it is a self-executing 'folder', it executes ! Fully self-contained harmless *.exe. Windows XP only: http://www.malware.com/my.pics.zip Be aware of 'folders' out there. -- http://www.malware.com
