    About Worm.OSX.Inqtana.a

    Worm.OSX.Inqtana.a is one of the type of Inqtana worms. Inqtana is a Mac OSX worm which spreads via Bluetooth. First of all it sends Object Exchange (OBEX) Push data transfer request to the potential victim machine. Once this request has been accepted by the user then worm exploits a Bluetooth File and Object Exchange Directory Traversal vulnerability in order to access the places outside the Bluetooth File and Object Exchange service path.

    What Worm.OSX.Inqtana.a does.

    Basically Worm.OSX.Inqtana.a drops two files, One is the com.openbundle.plist and another one is com.pwned.plist.
