Glupteba.Backdoor.Bruteforce.DDS

Short bio

Glupteba.Backdoor.Bruteforce.DDS is Malwarebytes’ detection name for Trojans of the Glupteba family that creates a backdoor on affected systems detected by Malwarebytes’ Katana engine.

The detection names are produced by Malwarebytes 4 and Malwarebytes business products. These generic malware detections are due to our new automated signature system called BytesTotal and specifically the DDS engine that are based on Machine Learning technology with 100% autonomous learning which don’t require any human interaction to correctly identify malware. These techniques are part of Malwarebytes’ Katana engine and were developed for automated mass detection of wide ranges of malware and adware.

Type and source of infection

Glupteba.Backdoor.Bruteforce.DDS is dropped by bruteforcing open ports like RDP. It then acts as a backdoor allowing attackers to deploy further tools and malware.
