Tiny.AH is a backdoor that allows hackers to gain remote access to the affected computer in order to carry out actions that compromise user confidentiality and impede the tasks performed on the computer.

It affects productivity, preventing tasks from being carried out:

• In the affected computer: causes system slowdowns.

• In the local network: it generates a large amount of network activity and consumes bandwidth.

It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user:

• It injects itself in running processes.

Tiny.AH does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.
