[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 433680, member: 7463"] Tony- not a bad question at all. A Buckshot trojan is really easy to visualize. Consider a typical trojan- once you run it, it will normally spawn a payload or two in a certain directory (normally somewhere is Users\App Data). A Buckshot will spawn 10 or 12 separate daughters (usually different stuff like downloaders, keyloggers, etc) into random directories throughout the system before suiciding (self-deletion), and all of the daughters will have auto-run functionality. These aren't very common and essentially are the lazy persons way of bypassing traditional AV detection (hoping that one or two will be undetectable). Kind of like flinging slop against a wall and hoping something sticks. But if the Blackhat wasn't lazy and confirmed all of the daughters were FUD, it is a real pain to remediate. [/QUOTE]
