Description: The malware listens on TCP ports 12632 and 12631. The
backdoor server password "ecoli" is stored in cleartext in an .INI
textfile, stored under "C:\Windows" having the same name as the
malware. Third party attackers who have knowledge of the password can
login and issue various commands separated  by semicolon. Commands
include program execution, change the backdoor password and malware
removal using command "RemoveServer;1".
