CPE: McAfee AudioParasitic: Episode 54: DAT & mac OS X malware part 1/2
length: 00:22:03
DAT – almost 500k malware detection
In 2004: 100k (after 18 years)
In 2006: 200k (2 years later)
In 2009: 500k (3 years later ) – double exponentially
1.5 million malware last year VS 500k detection in
DATs!!!
Any one driver/detection can detect multiple threats
One to many relation
Ex: generic-downloader may detect hundreds of thousands
of threats
There are different types of drivers (detection):
-
Generic driver – detect multiple threats
-
Heuristic driver – behavioral detection: it it’s look like a duck, quack like a duct –
it must be a duck
-
One to one driver – detects only one threat
Never remove any detection even for 80’s malware
Lately trojan targeting mac OS X based trojan
Notably popper trojan
Most bundle with popular pirated software- iWorks08 &
photoshop
It’s look running fine – but beneath it, it is doing something else.
Malware DNS changes – the will control Internet traffic –
reroute to rouge site
Mac never been immune to malware.
Mac can pass on malware.
