This is a large RAT virus family. The first version of this pest appeared in August 2000 and newer updates appeared until January 2002. You may find this pest in the internet under such names as: Gift 1.07, Gift 1.6.13, Gift 2.0, Gift 2.1.0, Gift 2.1.1, Gift 2.3, Gift 2.4, Gift 2.5 and Mini-Gift 0.1. The author of this program is a hacker called Tr|force. As the number of the version grows, so does the amount of damage, that can be done by this program. Some versions include such dangerous functions as "password capture" "nuker" and "keylogger" abilities.

From the publisher:

"Everything should work apart from Delete HD, Ping'.
2.0: From the doc: 'This is the first build with a stable plugin system.'
2.3: From the doc: 'A huge update here, namely a programming language change! I have kept some features from the old GiFt but serveral new ones have been added! See for yourself!'.
2.4: From the doc: 'GUI has also been improved a bit and made easier to use'.
2.5: From the doc: 'Right here is a little beta release. Only includes the server and client (both compressed). EditServer is still underway, and this is to test the new server functions like messagebox manager etc. Just test it lots to see if the new functions work ok :-) Also try compressing it with different compressors to see which gives the best rate and it still works effectively.'

Mini-GiFt 0.1
Well the small server idea was thrown right out the window!. well as you can probably see from the server size its not under 20kb, i wrote it in delphi but it is still a cool little uploader/backdoor. I am still working on an asm version :0)
Here is a list of things it should do:
* Once run, delete the oriinal file
* Copy itself to Windows directory
* Listen on port 10101
* You can, upload, download or run files
