Email characteristics:

  • Attachment: Variable
Bagle.AI is spread via a zip archive which contains two files, price.html and price.exe. When run, price.exe creates the following registry entries to ensure it is started with Windows:
  • HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
       win_upd2.exe = "%SYSTEM%\WINdirect.exe"
  • HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
       win_upd2.exe = "%SYSTEM%\WINdirect.exe"
Price.exe also drops a file named _dll.exe, which will attempt to download Bagle.AI to %WINDIR%\~.exe and launch it. _dll.exe will contact one of the following domains to download Bagle.AI:

_dll.exe also terminates processes with these names:

When _dll.exe launches ~.exe  (downloaded Bagle.AI), ~.exe will copy itself to the %SYSTEM% folder as:
  • windll.exe
  • windll.exeopen
  • windll.exeopenopen
The worm will also create the following registry value, which would normally ensure the worm is started with Windows, but due to a typo it is actually useless:
  • HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ru1n\erthgdr = "%SYSTEM%\windll.exe"
Bagle.AI will delete the following entries from the registry in an attempt to remove various Netsky variants:
  • HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
       My AV
  • HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
       Zone Labs Client Ex

The worm will also create the following mutexes in order to prevent Netsky from running:
  • MuXxXxTENYKSDesignedAsTheFollowerOfSkynet-D.
  • DroppedSkyNet.
  • _-oOaxX|-+S+-+k+-+y+-+N+-+e+-+t+-|XxKOo-_.
  • [SkyNet.cz]SystemsMutex.
  • AdmSkynetJklS003.
  • ____--->>>>U<<<<--____.
  • _-oO]xX|-S-k-y-N-e-t-|Xx[Oo-_.
Bagle.AI then harvests email addresses from files with the following extension:
  • .wab
  • .txt
  • .msg
  • .htm
  • .shtm
  • .stm
  • .xml
  • .dbx
  • .mbx
  • .mdx

  • .mmf
  • .ods
  • .cfg
  • .asp
  • .php
  • .pl
  • .wsh
  • .adb
  • .tbb
  • .sht
  • .xls
  • .oft
  • .uin
  • .cgi
  • .mht
  • .dhtm
  • .jsp
Email addresses containing any of these strings are ignored:
  • @hotmail
  • @msn
  • @microsoft
  • rating@
  • f-secur
  • news
  • update
  • anyone@
  • bugs@
  • contract@
  • feste
  • gold-certs@

  • samples
  • abuse
  • panda
  • cafee
  • spam
  • pgp
  • @avp.
  • noreply
  • local
  • root@
  • postmaster@
The worm then begins its mass mailing routine. Emails may have the following characteristics:
Subject
  • None
Body
  • New Price
Attachment
  • price_08.zip
  • price.zip
  • price2.zip
  • new_price.zip
  • price_new.zip
  • 08_price.zip
  • new__price.zip 
  • newprice.zip
Finally, Bagle.AI will also copy itself to folders containing shar in the pathname. Possible filenames include:
  • Microsoft Office 2003 Crack, Working!.exe
  • Microsoft Windows XP, WinXP Crack, working Keygen.exe
  • Microsoft Office XP working Crack, Keygen.exe
  • Porno, sex, oral, anal cool, awesome!!.exe
