Since the first MyDoom (which appeared almost six months ago, to the
day) I have been nice and snug behind my executable attachment
filter. And my zipfile attachment filter. But then MyDoom-M slips
past ....
The reason is because it puts spaces or newlines into its MIME. Very
smart. Apparently the MIME decodes OK (spaces and newlines are
ignored by the MIME parser) but it sure makes it look different to my
filters.
I post this message so that folks can get working on regexp rules
that take spaces and newlines into account.
This MIME filter worked on almost all zipfiles until now:
UEsDBAoAA*
MyDoom-M however sends itself like this (two examples only):
U EsDBAoAA [rest of MIME here]
or
UEs
DBAo
AA [rest of MIME here]
Not one shy of a challenge, I'll admit this beat my filter. And I'll
also speculate that this will not pose a long-term problem. If
you're a regexp w1zard, feel free to share how you'd approach this!
My current thoughts are something like this:
U*E*s*D*B*A*o*A*A*
Still got newline prob though.
