AARP Site "Hack", more than just porn promotion

There's slightly more to it than just spam for promotion of porn pages via Google. Looking through the code, shows multiple redirections via 301 then 302, which eventually leads to a Cernel hosted site that will infect the unsuspecting user with the Zlob trojan;

Start here;

A check a few seconds ago, shows the aarp profile no longer exists. Alas there doesn't seem to be a cache of it either ....

Next, it leads you to;

If you look at the headers (displayed just above the source code), you'll notice the 301 via joyfulclipz.com followed by the 302 via breeddirect.com.

The final result, is the Zlob trojan (12K UPX, 32K unpacked (Visual C++ 6 file) - setup.exe), courtesy of movsdevices.com, as shown in the source at the following.

Detection for the file, packed and unpacked, is rubbish :o(

Alas I'm in the process of fixing my laptop at the moment, so I'll leave the detailed analysis of the executable to someone else.

Sites involved:
