+--- How to use this module ---
+-- antisnatchor:
+ - the applet has been compiled with Java 1.6.0 update 0 in order to be compatible with every JRE > 1.6.x (1.7.x included)
+ - tested with IE8 on XP SP3, and IE10 on Win7
+ - tested with JRE 1.6.x and 1.7.x
+
+ - I advise you to recompile/re-sign the applet yourself, the following are the required steps to compile and self-sign the applet.
+NOTE: Best results are obtained signing the applet with a valid Code Signing certificate.
+
+ - Ideally the dropper is a packed backdoor (Meterpreter?) that connects back to your server (for instance a Metasploit multi/handler).
+
+1. compile the two classes
+javac SignedApplet.java SM.java
+
+2. create a JAR
+jar cvf SignedApplet.jar SignedApplet.class SM.class
+
+3. generate a keystore to self-sign the applet
+keytool -keystore tmp -genkey
+
+4. sign the applet
+jarsigner -keystore tmp signedAppletCmdExec.jar mykey
