There's no paper out right now, although I am writing a generalized
overview to all the trojans in CANVAS today. Essentially the kernel
rootkit is very simple - it sits underneath the network layer polling
for trigger packets (UDP) which then can contain a command to tell it to
send a MOSDEF connection to a listening post. Also it can hide network
connections (ioctl-based command-set).

There's a lot more to do, of course, but the innovation in the CANVAS
trojan set is not in specialized hooking techniques or new feature sets,
but more in how the whole package integrates. You'll want to be able to
send messages over your internal RootkitBus via your HTTP-MOSDEF
callback, etc. As we integrate Immunity Debugger into CANVAS you'll see
lots of "specialized hook for X app" stuff come through. Trojans are
important and I've always felt that penetration testing kits leave them
a bit behind. We'll fix that. :>

You can always buy CANVAS Early Updates and test it for yourself. :>

Of course, it breaks the CANVAS license for AV vendors to write
signatures for CANVAS, so there won't be any "CANVAS Rootkit"
signatures, although we do get picked up by generic signatures for
things sometimes.
