RE: [Full-Disclosure] Backdoor not recognized by Kaspersky

samples. Exist some antivirus that detects the ZIP infected without knowing the
password:

I'm sure more of these detect it by now. I suppose SOP for these scanners has 
been to
extract files from ZIPs and scan them, but they need a more complex procedure 
now. Is it
possible that portions of the encrypted ZIP are consistant enough regardless of 
the key
that they can identify it? If not, for this particular case they could hack at 
the ZIP
file and use the message body as a dictionary.
