whitepaper Your Computer Is Now Stoned (...Again!): The Rise of MBR Rootkits2009-01-19 Symantec
  The war against invisible malware has been taken down to a new battleground, the lowest level seen so far in the wild: the Master Boot Record. The MBR rootkit, a.k.a. Mebroot, appeared in the wild in December 2007 and rapidly evolved from earlier beta versions to a fully working malware product. The Mebroot rootkit uses techniques never before seen in modern threats and so it can be considered the next generation of stealth rootkit and kernel infector, written by professional malware developers and clearly not for fun. The most notable characteristic of Mebroot is the fact that it replaces the system's Master Boot Record with malicious code that owns the machine completely from the boot, before the operating system itself gets loaded.

whitepaper The Role of the Internet in the Propagation of Malware2009-01-13 Netgear
  Computer threats have been a part of daily computing lives since 1986, when the boot sector virus Brain was discovered. Boot sector viruses propagated by writing themselves to floppy disks, then transferring to the user's PC when it booted up. This is due to the overwhelmingly efficient propagation capabilities it naturally offers, as well as the underground community it inadvertently supports. Between the vast number and array of threats available, coupled with the speed and efficiency with which the Internet has enabled them to travel, desktop security alone is unable to keep pace. This has resulted in the need for an additional layer of security at the network gateway to supplement the efforts at the client level.

whitepaper The Passing Storm: The Storm/Nuwar Botnet2009-01-10 Eset
  While security software can mitigate the direct impact of Nuwar and other bot-related malware on individual systems, the wider effects of botnet activity need additional countermeasures. DDoS attacks, for instance, may be somewhat mitigated by firewall, switch and router configuration. Local monitoring and blocking of SMTP traffic from systems other than authorized mail servers can reduce the impact of spam, fraudulent and malicious email spread over open relays and open proxies, while locked down desktops with minimum user privilege make it harder for all malware to execute and self-install. Signature-based solutions such as "Conventional" Anti-Virus (AV) and Snort signatures are largely reactive, but remain effective in many cases, especially where supplemented with proactive solutions such as ESET's advanced heuristics.

whitepaper Analysis of an Attack of Web-Based Malware2009-01-03 Evilfingers
  Internet has become an ally platform of attack for malware creators, who through the use of different techniques such as Drive-by-Download, Drive-by-Update, scripting, exploit, among others, and combining them seek to recruit an army of computers that respond only to their malicious instructions. These attacks, using the Internet as a basis for implementing a direct damaging loads on the victim, in parallel, almost instantaneous and transparent view of the less experienced users, has become a latent and dangerous risk of infection by the simple act of accessing a website. The paper sets out a concrete example that uses the above actions to exploit and infect a victim, describing also several extra features that enhance the damage of malware.

whitepaper Towards Automating Malware Classification and Characterization2009-01-01 Seewald Solutions
  Spam has become a problem of global impact. Most spam messages are currently sent out by captured machines organized in bot networks, which are infected with malicious software and are therefore under direct control of spammers. The connected explosion of automatically generated new malware variants has manual analysis at a great disadvantage, while classical automated analysis systems have problems keeping up with the diversity of new variants. Here, the paper proposes using machine learning approaches to learn global (i.e. malware intent) and local (i.e. specific functionality) malware properties based on behavioral traces of malware recorded in virtual environments, and tests them on a small corpus. Initial results are somewhat promising, so they also discuss areas for improvement as well as current and future challenges.

whitepaper The McAfee Gateway Anti-Malware Engine: Protecting Users From Emerging Malware Threats2009-01-01 McAfee
  Malware is a sophisticated business. Unlike the good old days when attacks were perpetrated by individual malcontents, today's malware developers are organized into sophisticated, disciplined teams. What's more, they are constantly probing and refining their attacks to inflict maximum damage or reap the highest profitability - or both. This white paper, authored by the McAfee network security business unit's anti-malware team, recaps the latest threats seen throughout 2007 and the first half of 2008, and introduces to the McAfee gateway anti-malware engine and the technologies it uses to combat today's and tomorrow's threats. The McAfee gateway anti-malware engine (or McAfee anti-malware engine) is a multi-platform engine incorporated into McAfee's web gateway products, such as McAfee Web Gateway (formerly Webwasher).

whitepaper 2009 Threat Predictions: Slumping Economy Drives Malware Threats2009-01-01 McAfee
  Malware is a business, and that business is thriving. Gone are the days of virus writing for notoriety. More than 90 percent of the malware written today consists of password-stealing Trojans and downloaders with one goal in mind: to find valuable data. The shift in threats from virus writing to a true cybercrime model cannot be understated. Whether it is malware, phishing, scams, spam, or any other of the myriad of threats that plague business and consumers, it can be certain much of it will center around the economy and that all of it lines the pockets of global cybercriminals.
