Banking Trojan Source Code Leaked

berrance writes "ITworld reports that the source code for the Android mobile banking Trojan app "iBanking" has surfaced via an underground forum. The software has been masquerading as a security app appearing on banking sites, via HTML injection attacks. In addition to serving as a Trojan, this app is also a bot net client, which 'connects to a command-and-control server that allows attackers to issue commands to each infected device.'"

    In all seriousness I want to d/l this and take a look at the code. Do they pull any interesting tricks? Any non-obvious techniques I could borrow for my non-malware apps? I learned a lot of interesting tricks from studying rootkit and virus source over the years, even if I don't get to apply it very often.

    If nothing else, the 'know your enemy' idea is useful for anyone of use who will be tasked with defending our users against this kind of thing.
