Web Attacker with VML being setup.

09.24.2006 - 8:15 PM
We are starting to see some sites attempting to upgrade to the latest version of Web Attacker. As previously noted, there is a new version of the widely used and distributed Web Attacker toolkit that includes exploit code for the latest I.E. "zero-day" attack (VML). See: http://www.websense.com/securitylabs/blog/blog.php?BlogID=80.

As you can see in the below screenshot, the statistics page that is included in the toolkit has now also been updated. The VML exploit code is being counted as "MS06-XMLNS". As you may also notice the example site shows the number of hosts that have connected and have been infected as zero. We believe that this is either a bug or a configuration error.

We have connected to other sites that also appear to be in the middle of setting up their sites.

The particular site below is one that we have had in our database for sometime and has had high levels of connections in the past. 

Special thanks to Roger Thompson at http://www.explabs.com for research collaboration.
