A friend of mine showed this to me today.
I searched here in the forum and I found no results: http://research.eeye.com/html/tools/RT20060801-7.html

It is a MBR Rootkit developed by eEye

It comes with source code, so I thought it was worth of sharing it with you

My best regards

Yep, it's a nice piece of work indeed.

Thanks for sharing with our readers. Many are always looking for new tricks, even the nasty kind.

In the wild malwares currently use code from this POC, to infect users.
