Netbus-Kontroverse: Waffe oder Tool?-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Netbus-Kontroverse: Waffe oder Tool? Was ist Netbus jetzt wirklich? Ein gefährlicher Trojaner für Nachwuchshacker oder ein nützliches Netzwerk/tool, das gut geschrieben & unter moderaten Shareware/conditiones erhältlich ist? Die Antivirus/community ist sich darüber gar nicht einig. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Lee Kimber 03/02/99, 7:46 p.m. .... The latest version of NetBus has split network-security experts because its author said it was not a Trojan as it remained visible. But crackers reportedly rewrote it to make it invisible within days of its launch. Data Fellows and Sophos said their anti-virus products would not disable the recently launched remote-control Trojan NetBus 2 Pro because its Swedish author Carl-Fredrik Neikter was a professional who now charged $12 for a legitimate shareware product. "NetBus 2.0 Pro is not detected as it is now commercial software," according to a spokesman for Data Fellows' European office in Finland. "NetBus 1.x up to 1.7 was detected by anti-virus scanner F-Secure but not NetBus 2.0" ..... NetBus lets crackers to take remote control of networked PCs, but publicity over its spread has been eclipsed by the Back Orifice remote-control Trojan written by hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow. But unlike Back Orifice, NetBus can infect Windows NT machines and is more easily configured. And Neikter described it himself as a "remote administration and spy tool." ... "It is a commercial product and it looks extremely professionally written. You can use these products for lawful or unlawful purposes," said Jan Hruska, Sophos technical director. .... But rival vendor Network Associates said it believed NetBus was aimed at young crackers and joined with other vendors to commit to detecting and removing the Trojan in Dr Solomon's and McAfee anti-virus products. "We're carrying on detecting it," said the company's anti-virus consultant Jack Clark. .... And asked if Symantec would update its software to detect the Trojan, Symantec technical manager Kevin Street replied: "Absolutely. We've already got it sorted out, so why would we remove it?"
