1.Summary:
------------
Windows system may use the many kinds of special mark as filename,
some anti-virus engines are unable to analyze the special structure
document filename, thus failed to file operate.
2. Detail:
------------
Demonstration here:
Choose a malicious file which would be detected, such as nc.exe,
rename the file as nc??.exe (?? =Hex C0 D7 BA DC)
Then these malicious files will be not detected by antivirus scan.
Because these special names are unable directly to input, so if you
want to run these file, you should use the following way:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\Vul\bugtrap]#dir /x
1998-01-03 14:37 59,392 NC294E~1.EXE nc??.exe
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\Vul\bugtrap]#NC294E~1.EXE -help
[v1.10 NT]
connect to somewhere: nc [-options] hostname port[s] [ports] ...
listen for inbound: nc -l -p port [options] [hostname] [port]
options:
Uses the MS-DOS name specification, we can operate file with Open、
Read、Write、 and duplicate。
In fact the most vendor all have the problem in regarding this king
of file parse: For instance use the right key clicks these kinds of
file, will be no scan option menu to show by Kaspersky antivirus, and
Symantec AntiVirus Corporate V10.0.1.1000 will detected but can't remove
it. AVG Anti-Virus will be passed by normally path scan mothod, but
can't read the file if click the scan option menu.
