Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu to Michael Holstein:
ignoring the magic bits in the header. The next round of "social engineering" emails that say : "rename the attached .fix file to .exe so you can run it correctly" are just around the corner.I believe this has already been spotted in the wild...
Huh??? Someone has not been keeping up with their reading... It has been known for quite some time now that, depending on the flavour of Windows you run, simply renaming various kinds of files (including MZ/PE .EXEs and OLE2s) to unregistered extensions leaves them totally "executable" or "openable" _as usual with the normal extension_. And yes, I believe that this has been exploited in mass-mailing and spam-seeded malware instances.
