Major CWS Sites Update

CWS List Sorted By IP Address In Text Format
(IP and Domains ) Updated 11 Sept 2005

CWS Alpha Sort In Text Format
(Only Domains listed) Updated 11 Sept 2005

Full Read\More Info
====================================================================

In late August 2005, I was given a link by my friend Suzi of Spywarewarrior that was an IP address [removed] that ran a massive CWS infestations similar to that of the infamous vxiframe.biz infestations. Upon further research I found that this IP was also being used by two well known CWS porn sites along with an IP of Esthost/Estdomains as an 404 error page that calls a page called waite.html which also contains 195.225.177.33 in an IFRAME to load the IP automatically thus infesting users.
The waite.html page is an old scare scam for RazeSpyware. See Spywarewarrior Rogue Anti-Spyware listing for details. This waite.html page will only be seen about a second and then will close and the CWS infestations will begin. Below is what the page looks like without the live CWS link.

Razespyware and its whois CWS owner Pantier Co
Razespyware has been on the rise via CWS infestations and many are looking for information about them. razespyware.net which has the razespyware whois now shows a one Painter Co or aka Pant co who have been a known linked to the CWS world for a long time with its many porn sites.

In August 2005, I did a write up about a scare ad page for Razespyware that redirected to a major (vxiframe.biz- cactus @ asdbiz.biz) CWS infester and hijacker. Today Razespyware is being
used by many of the major CWS hijackers but it is their whois owner that I have made a PDF document about for today. Later I will be talking about the Nelroy Ltd. that is shown in the Company info page at their site.

August 2005 write up:

The CWS hackers look like they are starting to spread to what was once thought to be the safe part of the Internet!

Webhelper CWS Sites Lists Updates 6 April 2006

Text format:
http://webhelper4u.com/CWS2/cwslists/cwsbyip.txt

http://webhelper4u.com/CWS2/cwslists/cwsalpha.txt

Excel Spreadsheet format: contains complete histories

http://webhelper4u.com/CWS2/cwslists/cwsmasterlist.xls Size 972KB

In the spreadsheet, I have all new ones under the Sites Added April 2006 tab


This also includes the highconvert.com/instllme John Miller aka sp2f(word).biz new sites, vip01.biz to vip15.biz. I will go into more detail later but we must block the IP as the files all come from that and is called from traffweb.biz and installs desktop hijack for alfacleaner and drops what we call the BigBlue identity theft keyloggers named for the IBM000#.dll files and transmits to the instme.biz IP via FTP the users email logins, passwords and protected storage data. They are right now in the middle of changing their methods and I have been watching them in real time That is how far ahead of them I am now compared to last year. Like the transponder gang of old, if they sneeze I am going to know it.

The JFP Group tab is the John Miller, Nick Fedorov, Vasiliy Pupkin. The cactus tab is the traff4all,game4all aka vxiframe crew.

As a treat in August of 2005, we uncovered a document in Russian at instme.biz and just last Friday at highconvert.com we snagged an updated copy of how they operated in Russian (Sunbelt-software has many who speak a lot of languages )

August 2005
http://www.webhelper4u.com/CWS2/jcactusdimpy/crims.pdf
April 2006
http://www.webhelper4u.com/CWS2/jcactusdim…_Adware_v01.pdf

Anyway, it refers to the yapsearch.com which also includes the yapbrowser.com which they bill it as safe:

"..There is a 100% guarantee no system infection will occur when using our software. YapBrowser is the only browser which gives you safe search and browsing capabilities…"

The install popup will get you:

YapBrowser is FREE,
thanks to Zango. Why? Because it’s paid for by advertising.

Now the document in Russian on highconvert that runs the worst exploits and has all the traffweb and james wurster sites and also deals in kiddie porn at their russian sites along with identity theft key loggers and wmf exploits has Zango on board with them.

As I use to ssay I am the Keeper of the Internet Histories and the Webhelper sees all!
