When an exploit kit is VERY simple
Summary: Cisco Talos described a landing page that redirects through an applet to a GoogleDocs.jar file, a simple generated Java exploit straight out of Metasploit with no obfuscation. The page had no obfuscated landing page, no JavaScript, and no tricky redirection, and ClamAV already detects the Java archive with its embedded executable as Java.Trojan.Agent-31.
Key Takeaway: The payload was an unobfuscated Metasploit-generated jar that ClamAV already flags, so the only thing standing between a user and the embedded executable was a browser still willing to run an applet.
