Bagz.F starts by creating 2 files in the %SystemRoot% directory. These files are:
  • Trace32.exe, 40,448 bytes, UPX packed
  • SysInfo32.exe, 102,400 bytes, UPX packed
The worm then executes Trace32.exe", which registers itself as a service with the following details:
  • Service Name: Windows Secure SSL
  • Description: This service implements the secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) for the HTTP service
The service then creates a copy of the dropper in the %SystemRoot% directory as:
  • Sqlssl.doc<spaces>.exe, a copy of the worm
Bagz.F then harvests emails from files with these extensions:
  • .TBB
  • .tbb
  • .TBI
  • .tbi
  • .DBX
  • .dbx
  • .HTM
  • .htm
  • .TXT
  • .txt
