[PLUG] strange trojan

[alan]

This is similar to the "ABFrag exploit".

ABFrag supposedly will hack a remote linux or bsd using a tcp/ip 
fragmentation attack. It is actually a trojan that steals /etc/shadow and 
a few other things and sends it off to the author of the program.

I guess Outlook users have become too easy of a target.
