  F-Secure Computer Virus Information Pages: Bagle.B
F-Secure is downgrading the alert level on Bagle worm since it reached its deadline.
The target of the URLs are PHP files, to which the worm will post information about the infected host, namely the port where the backdoor is listening and a randomly generated ID. Some of those hosts are already unavailable.
It provides access to the computer where the worm is running, where it allows to download and run any executable sent to the backdoor with a given format.

  TCP Port 2745
Used by a number of the Bagle / Beagle / Tanx viruses as a backdoor port.
Bagle is mass-mailing email that besides using your address book, and other information on your computer to email copies of itself too, opens a backdoor on port 2745 which allows a hacker to upload a file and execute it automatically.
Bagle also attempts to contact a number of web sites informing them of the infection.

  Bagle-A Worm is Spreading Fast
Discovered on Jan 18th, the Bagle-A worm (also known as Beagle-A) is an easy to recognize, mass mailing virus that is distributed by an e-mail attachment.
As the first new important worm of the New Year, Bagle appears to have originated in Australia and is set to live only until January 28th, 2004, suggesting that tuned variations of the worm could appear as early next week.
Another possible factor in the worm's success is the fact the worm's creators programmed the worm to e-mail itself to handful of popular domains to evade swift detection by dominant Web enterprises such as Hotmail, MSN and a large Russian computer security agency.

 The Bagle Worm Family
The Bagle family of worms is distinguished by innovation.
Although not as "successful" as other worms of its kind, it can be argued that the earlier Bagle worms reinvented social engineering.
Bagle was the first worm to attempt to send a copy of itself in a password-protected archive.

 F-Secure Computer Virus Information Pages: Bagle
Bagle is a mass-mailing worm that was found on 18th of January, 2004.
When the worm is started it connects to a list of predefined web servers and tries to access a PHP file with certain parameters.
One of the parameters is the TCP port where the backdoor is listening which suggests that this functionality is used to collect the addresses of infected computers.

 Bagle-A worm moving quickly
Bagle is a new mass-mailing worm, and it came on strong on Sunday, prompting antivirus software companies to raise threat alerts.
The worm is also called "Bagel" and "Beagle." The writer has included the word "beagle" throughout the code, but antivirus researchers have tweaked the name to avoid calling it what the writer presumably named it.
Bagle is such a basic worm in terms of functionality and social engineering that, initially, antivirus researchers expected little from it.

 Bagle Worm Seen As 'Blueprint' For Web Criminals - Security Technology News by TechWeb
A pair of research reports have explored the long-running Bagle worm and laid out a chronology that points to a professional developer who, like counterparts in the commercial software world, is constantly testing, tweaking, and improving his code for profit, not pride of ownership.
Although other worm families have spawned more variants than Bagle, the worm was, said Gordon, the first real confirmation that technically-astute, professional-grade developers had moved into writing malware.
Not only has the author (or authors) of Bagle created numerous variations of the worm, but he (or she, or they) are also behind the Mitglieder family of Trojans.

 CNN.com - 'Bagle' e-mail worm spreading fast - Jan. 20, 2004
A new Internet virus was spreading fast throughout Asia, Australia and Europe but computer security experts were divided on the seriousness of the threat from the "Bagle" worm.
The "Bagle" or "Beagle" worm arrives in an e-mail with the subject "hi" and the word "test" in the message body.
If the accompanying attachment is executed, the worm is unleashed and tries to send itself to all e-mails listed in the user's address book.

 WORM_BAGLE.AC - Description and solution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Unlike earlier BAGLE worms, this particular variant deviates a little from the usual BAGLE propagation routine of directly mass-mailing itself to a list of recipients.
This worm harvests its target recipients from certain files found in the system, but it noticeably avoids sending email to addresses that contain certain strings.
Staying true to its "bloodline", this BAGLE worm, like most of its predecessors, continues on with the BAGLE vs NETSKY war by removing autorun registry entries and mutexes associated with the rival worm.

 New Bagle worm spreading; source code is revealed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The new versions could place copies of the worm's core computer code on thousands of compromised computers -- and that may be a sign that the author or authors of one of the most prolific worms in recent months are feeling the heat from the law, according to one security expert.
First detected yesterday, the new Bagle versions are almost identical to each other and very similar to earlier variants, which spread through shared file folders and in e-mail messages carrying the worm as an attachment, said Carole Theriault, a security consultant at Sophos.
While the new variants aren't as virulent as Bagle's earlier versions, the fact that the author or authors decided to distribute the worm's source code is significant, Theriault said.

 Bagle worm spawns five siblings - ZDNet UK
Five new variants of the Bagle worm were released into the wild over the weekend, with two causing particular problems for enterprise antivirus software scanner technology, say experts.
Bagle versions C, D, E, F and G started propagating over the weekend and although the first three are very similar to the original Bagle -- being spread through email and infecting PCs of users who open the attachment -- Bagle.F and Bagle.G are designed to slip past most enterprise antivirus gateways.
The Bagle F and G worms are coded to expire on 25 March, 2005.

The Bagle family of worms, fairly dormant for the past few months, has spawned a flurry of variants that are kicking up a storm in the wild.
The worm's author or authors dropped the worm's source code into two of the recently released variants, feeding other virus writers who may want to write and release their own Bagle variant.
The alleged author of the Netsky worms was arrested in Germany this spring, and most security analysts thought that would bring an end to the string of variants from both Netsky and Bagle.

 New Bagle worm bypasses anti-virus software - B.I.S.S. Forums
The new worm goes by a number of different names and is very similar to earlier versions of the worm, but also has new features that allow it to trick anti-virus software and content filtering products, said Sam Curry, vice president of e-Trust Security Management at Computer Associates (CA).
That allows Bagle to masquerade its actions as those of IE, fooling firewall software that may be running on machines it infects and that would block communications to other systems on the Internet from unauthorised applications.
CA is still analysing Bagle, but Curry believes that the new worm version is spreading, in part, by exploiting a vulnerability in a Windows feature for viewing and opening.zip compressed file archives.
