VCM2: Losing trades due file names
by VirusBuster
Depending on how you have named your file names you can lose some trade. Also the paths to store files are important. This is due you give clues about where you got the file or the name of the file, which can be used to look for it at Google.
2 examples of bad file naming follow:
H:\NEW\HEIBAI04\0BDD0831.zip/SDBOTEdit.exe Infected Backdoor.Tongbot.102 <cd0000.0.e>
H:\viru\HEI\mmfriend1.0.zip/mmfriend.exe Infected TrojanDownloader.Win32.Friendown <cd0000.0.e>
In the first case we notice the file was probably downloaded from a web
site called "Heibai" due the path where the files is stored.
In the second case we notice the probable file name to look for it.
That is why it is smart to rename file names to their CRC32, which it is also useful for other questions.
