The worm uses an old vulnerability in the Solaris operating system to enter the system. So it ca also infect to the some other type of operating system like windows 2000,NT. The worm is a download and install on the system and after that it start the itself executing "/dev/cuc/start.sh" on the victim using the service. Then it create a directory "/dev/cup" and start the expanding. It also used IIS web server for running the process and after that worm will copy the "\winnt\system32\cmd.exe" to "wwwroot\scripts\root.exe" directory and replace "index.htm", and finally default Web pages of the Web site and installs a back door. So we can also called it The Sadmind/IIS worm is a back door worm.
