RE: Help!

["Cary Barker" <cary () campbell com>]

Danny,

 

Let's put your fears to rest.  Zone.Identifier ADS is related to the way
Windows tags files generated by Internet Explorer and Outlook when
saving content downloaded from different security zones (you know - the
Security tab under IE Internet Options).  This tag is then referenced
when Windows accesses a file to determine how 'safe' it is.  If the file
is an executable that you downloaded from the Internet, this tag will
cause Windows to toss up an "Internet Explorer - Security Warning"
dialog box stating the publisher could not be verified.  It will also
force you to click on "Run" in that same dialog box before the program
will execute (as opposed to simply running the program when you run an
executable from a CD).  The files you are referring to are not
executable, but they are tagged by IE regardless. 

 

 

But don't take my work for all this - check out F-secure:

. . .and for more painful details, Microsoft:

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Help!

 

Dear all,

 

recently I noticed that my PC shows the same phenomenon during virus
scanning as described below.

 

What I would like to ask is whether it is a "common" phenomenon, or does
it mean a virus (backdoor trojan eg) attack?

 

I have investigated about ADS and performed scans using popular scanners
such as lns and lads, but it did not report any problem about the file
SHELL32.dll.124.Config.  It found however a lot of ADS, especially for
JPG files, giving outputs like xxx.jpg:zone.Identifier

 

I 'm quite worried about the current situation.

Could somebody help? Thanks!

 

Danny

sounds like an ADS ( alternate data stream )
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Streams.html
 
I wrote this awhile back as notes on a project...
 
this is a simple example...
Create an executable ADS:
-------------------------
c:\>type c:\fullpath\exename.exe > somefile.ext:exename.exe ( or
somefile.exe:someothername.exe )
 
Execute an ADS:
---------------
c:\>start c:\pathto\somefile.ext
( starts the example above running exename.exe behind the visible
somefile.ext ) c:\>type c:\start.bat > c:\windows\explorer.exe:start.bat
(
this creates a file named start.bat that executes explorer.exe )
c:\>start (
will now execute the full path to c:\to\somefile.ext )
 
hope this helps.
