Gattman Computer Virus Uses New Method of Infection
Published July 9th, 2006 in All Categories, Malware, Security
Unlike the majority of malicious software, which are Windows programs targeting the Windows 
operating system, this virus deliberately targets an analysis tool which is widely used by security researchers.
The Gattman virus spreads through the program Interactive Disassembler Pro (IDA), produced by DataRescue. IDA is one of the most popular "reversing" tools, and is used for converting the raw machine code inside program files back into human-readable source code form so that its behaviour can be analysed and understood.
