Check for Malware, a Windows Hack

Hackzine published his weekend a little 4 command hack for Windows to check for malware activity. Since every little bit helps in the malware wars, it’s probably worth putting this simple check in your hacker toolkit.

Basically, the commands record open tcp/udp sockets. A quick check of the results can alert you to any strange activity. Crude but, as a I said, every little tool helps.

* Start->Run->cmd
* netstat -b 5 >activity.txt (In XP, use -o instead of -b)
* Wait a few minutes, then press Ctrl-C
* type activity.txt | more (or open activity.txt in wordpad)
