Lain I haven't run across this in the wild. Just wanted to let you know that this isn't the first time I've seen more than just scripts coming from the RIPE.NET domain out of Deutschland (Germany). I've seen it on at least two incidents I've been on over the past six months. Thanks, Matthew Brown, CISSP, SSCP Principal Security Consultant Predictive Systems "Iain Craig" <i.craigat_private> 06/05/2002 01:40 AM To: <forensicsat_private> cc: <incidentsat_private> Subject: [incident] IIS defacement through FTP, possible DoS Hi all, Was wondering if anyone is aware of an IIS FTP server exploit that allows an attacker the read/write access of a single given legimate user's folders and also zeroes the log file? I've just seen this behaviour on a box running Win2K Advanced Server SP2 and IIS 5. The box hosts many websites, one of which was defaced; looking at the web logs I see no suspicious activity at all (no POST attempts even - the site's fairly simple and doesn't need POST at all - also no FrontPage). Checking the FTP logs, which is the site's owner's only way in, I see the log for when the attack happened (on hourly rotation) is precisely 64Kb of 00h. Is this "just" a cunning FTP server exploit or, given the nature of the logfile, should I be concerned that a higher level of access to the box has been acheived? In logs for the days prior to the compromise I see connections to the FTP server that are certainly odd but don't match a brute force attack fingerprint: <snip> 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 anonymousat_private MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [27]USER anonymousat_private - 331 0 0 0 0 FTP - - - - 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 anonymousat_private MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [28]USER anonymousat_private - 331 0 0 0 0 FTP - - - - 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 anonymousat_private MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [29]USER anonymousat_private - 331 0 0 0 0 FTP - - - - 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 anonymousat_private MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [30]USER anonymousat_private - 331 0 0 0 0 FTP - - - - 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 - MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [1]PASS - - 530 1326 0 0 235 FTP - - - - 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 - MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [5]PASS - - 530 1326 0 0 219 FTP - - - - 02:08:50 81.65.186.118 - MSFTPSVC1 BOXNAME IP.OF.THE.BOX 21 [2]PASS - - 530 1326 0 0 219 FTP - - - - <snip> There was a LOT of those, all very fast like a DoS attempt. Other usernames I was seeing in a similar DoS fashion from the same time and IP were Ogpuserat_private, Kgpuserat_private, and Lgpuserat_private Anyone know of a kiddie tool that uses these names? Incidentally, from the WHOIS on that IP: inetnum: 81.64.0.0 - 81.67.255.255 netname: FR-CYBERCABLE-20020103 descr: LYONNAISE COMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER Local Registry country: FR admin-c: LC220-RIPE tech-c: LC224-RIPE status: ALLOCATED PA mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-lower: AS6678-MNT mnt-routes: AS6678-MNT changed: hostmasterat_private 20020103 changed: hostmasterat_private 20020108 source: RIPE That's not the only IP these DoS-ish requests came from; going through the others now. Wondering if I'm dealing with two seperate incidents here, the defacement and a seperate DoS or DDoS. Any advice or guidance appreciated.
