Re: Fun with ( ÿþ ) well sort of ?
"Small y with diaresis, lowercase thorn" is ff fe in hex.
fffe and feff are byte sequence that happens to be used for byte-order detection in unicode text (thus facilitating data exchange between machines with different byte sex).
Looks like some bungled programming around some filename generation.
That doesn't exactly rule out malware, but I don't think the filename was deliberate. If legitimate, it's a lousy choice of name. If the intent is to hide, it's a lousy choice of name. |
