Asprox bot (re-)visiting Belgium with sql injections



The asprox bot is back again injecting javascripts in vulnerable webpages. The scripts being injected are ngg.js, fgg.js, b.js or js.js. The SANS ISC Stormcenter is speaking of 1.470.000 websites being affected. Mark Hofman (ISC Handler) provided this Google query to have a look at your own site.

site:yoursite "script src=http://*/""ngg.js"|"js.js"|"b.js"

This provided some formula (like the pipe sign) to increase efficiency in my own Google Fu. I wanted to use this to have an impression on how many Belgian websites were affected. I first used the additional option

inurl.be
But after some experimentation, I found that the following was more accurate:
site:BE
so the entire query would become:
"script src=http://*/""ngg.js"|"js.js"|"b.js" site:BE
Here is a clickable link to this query. This gave me about 222 results. This is quite okay compared to other results the Internet Storm Center presented:
.gov - 238 .com - 474K
.gov.au - 927 .org - 79.9K
.gov.uk - 2,930 .com.au - 19.5K
.gov.cn - 34K .co.uk - 19.3K
.gov.za - 424 .ca - 13.1K
.gov.br - 263
The situation still might change as updated websites tend to only appear in Google Search after hours or days.

Now I wanted to monitor this using Google alerts. BUT there is a HUGE issue with this. Each alert automatically adds &lr=lang_en. This option only returns English results, excluding a lot of Belgian websites written in Dutch. I tried various settings, read the FAQ and searched Google but to no avail. So unless anyone has some advice, Google Alerts can't be used to monitor websites besides English ones. Too bad.

Malwaredomains.com has a list with domains used for the asprox botnet or other malware sites (available in ISA, BIND or Adblock formats).
