Story: Sony plans patch after DRM rootkit row
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 10 November 2005, 10:00 PM)
So is everything hidden via $sys$ or is there SOMETHING that we (as network admins) can identify on a PC to point out that a machine is infected (and I don't use that word lightly)?
For instance, does Sony install a media player along with the rootkit malware? if so, what is the name of the player program's executable?
Basically, I want to see if an SMS software inventory of our environment shows a single machine with this rootkit. If it does, I'll take it straight to The Man at the top of my organization. He listens, our company has major financial dealings with Sony, and I'm sure he can get some pressure on them.
