Zberp is a Trojan that targets more than 450 financial institutions around the world, mainly in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. Zberp Trojan appears to be a variant of the Zeus Trojan, also known as Zbot, and contains capabilities specific to the Carberp Trojan family. Zberp Trojan appears to have been assembled from the leaked source code of two well-known Trojans - Zeus and Carberp. Zberp Trojan allows cybercriminals to gather basic information about the affected computer, involving the computer name, IP and other details. Zberp Trojan can take screen shots and transfer them to the remote attacker. Zberp Trojan steals data submitted in HTTP forms, user SSL certificates and even FTP and POP account credentials.

Zberp Trojan also contains optional features that allow Web injections, dynamic Web injections, MITB/MITM attacks and VNC/RDP connections. Zberp Trojan uses an 'invisible persistence' feature. Zberp Trojan deletes its persistence key from the registry during the Windows startup process to block security software from detecting it during normal system scans that take place after the system boots. To assure persistency, Zberp Trojan rewrites the persistence key back to the registry during system shutdown. Zberp Trojan also hides the configuration code in an image file through steganography, a technique used by malware authors to add code in a file format that looks legitimate and avoids malware detection programs.
