This guy may be scamming people with $5000 price tag. I would think if it's any good, he could make a lot more using it himself.

Haunted by the Ghosts of ZeuS & DNSChanger

One of the challenges in malware research is separating the truly novel innovations in malcoding from new nasties that merely include nominal or superficial tweaks. This dynamic holds true for both malware researchers and purveyors, albeit for different reasons. Researchers wish to avoid being labeled alarmist in calling special attention to what appears to be an emerging threat that turns out to be old news; the bad guys just want to avoid getting scammed into paying for an old malware kit dressed up as the new next big thing.

Analysis of the KINS malware
Posted on July 25, 2013 by joostbijl

The malware family KINS, thought to be new by researchers, has been used in private since at least December 2011 to attack financial institutions in Europe, specifically Germany and The Netherlands. It is fully based on the leaked ZeuS source code, with some minor additions. While the technical additions are interesting, they are far from ground breaking.

Recently the malware author has commercialized the malware to be sold as a kit. While many criminals are looking for a kit based banking malware product, it has not been as widely used as Citadel and SpyEye. Even more recently the existing users of KINS have migrated to another ZeuS based kit, suggesting that the uptick in KINS is likely short lived.
