The FirePack Exploitation Kit Localized to Chinese
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
The
process of localizing open source malware, as well as publicly
obtainable web malware explotation kits is continuing to receive the
attention of malicious attackers, the Chinese underground in
particular. Starting from MPack and IcePack's original localizations to Chinese, the FirePack exploitation kit is the latest one to have been recently localized to Chinese, and the trend is only starting to emerge.
What
is prompting Chinese users to translate these kits to their native
language anyway? Is it the kit's popularity, success rates, lack of
alternatives, or capability matching with the rest of the
internaltional underground community? I'd go for the last point.
