	("R2D2")

Hi List,

i thougt this could be interesting. My english is not very good so i copied
the following information from FSecure (
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002249.html)

"Chaos Computer Club from Germany has tonight announced that they have
located a backdoor trojan used by the German Goverment.

The announcment was made public on ccc.de <http://www.ccc.de/> with a
detailed 20-page analysis of the functionality of the malware. Download the
report in PDF<http://www.ccc.de/system/uploads/76/original/staatstrojaner-report23.pdf>(in
German)

The malware in question is a Windows backdoor consisting of a DLL and a
kernel driver.

The backdoor includes a keylogger that targets certain applications. These
applications include *Firefox, Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ* and others.

The backdoor also contains code intended to take screenshots and record
audio, including recording Skype calls.

In addition, the backdoor can be remotely updated. Servers that it connects
to include 83.236.140.90 and 207.158.22.134"

According to CCC Germany the backdoor could also be exploited by third
parties. You can download it from
http://www.ccc.de/system/uploads/77/original/0zapftis-release.tgz  . You'll
need gzip and tar to get the .dll and the .sys file.
